Former CIA analyst pleads guilty to leaking classified info on Israeli plans to attack Iran
A former CIA analyst pleaded guilty in federal court in Virginia on Friday to downloading and leaking classified information about Israeli plans to attack Iran and faces 10 years in prison.
Asif William Rahman, 34, of Vienna, Virginia, was arrested in Cambodia last year and transferred to Guam. The charges included retention and transmission of classified information related to national security.
Rahman worked for the CIA since 2016 and had a top-secret security clearance, according to the Justice Department.

You can only classify info that has a direct tie to U.S. national security. Releasing info on a pending terrorist attack against iran doesn’t qualify as classifiable.
