Asif William Rahman Pleads Guilty to Leaking Israeli Strike Plans on Iran, Faces Up to 20 Years
Jan 17, 2025, 08:03 PM
Asif William Rahman, a 34-year-old former CIA analyst who had been employed by the agency since 2016 and held a top-secret security clearance, pleaded guilty to leaking highly classified documents detailing Israel's military preparations for a retaliatory strike on Iran. Rahman admitted to illegally downloading, printing, and distributing the sensitive information on multiple occasions throughout 2024. The leaked documents, which surfaced on social media in October 2024, led to a delay in Israel's planned attack on Iran. Rahman faces up to 20 years in prison on two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information, with sentencing scheduled for May 15, 2025.
