A U.S. government contractor, Asif William Rahman, has been arrested and charged with leaking classified information about Israel’s plans to conduct a potential strike against Iran. Rahman, who was employed overseas in a role requiring security clearance, is accused of willfully retaining and sharing sensitive national defense information. The arrest, made by FBI agents in Cambodia on Tuesday, marks a significant breach in U.S. intelligence security concerning foreign alliances and Middle Eastern stability.
According to court documents filed on Wednesday, Rahman was arrested after an extensive investigation that tracked his unauthorized access and transmission of classified assessments. . .
