Former CIA analyst pleads guilty to leaking Israeli retaliation plans

Alexander Mallin and Luke Barr  |  January 17, 2025  |  2:03 PM

A former CIA analyst arrested in November and charged with leaking highly classified records showing Israeli plans to launch a retaliatory strike on Iran pleaded guilty Friday in a federal court in Virginia.

Asif Rahman, 34, pleaded guilty to two counts of transmission of national defense information, according to court records.

Rahman faces up to 10 years in prison for the first count and up to three years for the second count. His sentencing was set for May 15.

Rahman admitted to accessing and printing out two documents regarding Israel's retaliatory strike plans on Oct. 17 and transporting them to his residence, where he later uploaded images of them and provided them to "multiple individuals he knew were not entitled to receive them," according to the plea agreement.

He later took various steps to try and conceal his involvement in the leak, even as authorities were able to track him down remarkably quickly  .  .  .

The next question is 'Did the US notify Israel that their plans had been leaked?  Or did they say nothing and let Israeli pilots fly into a possible trap?'

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
