‘Should Be Prosecuted': Trump Says Pentagon Intel Leakers On Iran Strikes Can Be Easily Found
Last Updated: While US President Donald Trump did not name anyone, he claimed authorities 'could find out easily' if they chose to investigate the matter over a threat to national security. US President Donald Trump on Sunday renewed his attack on Democrats for allegedly leaking the classified Pentagon intelligence about strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, calling for those responsible to be prosecuted. While the US President did not name anyone, he claimed authorities 'could find out easily" if they chose to investigate the matter over a threat to national security. 'They (intel leakers) should be prosecuted. They (US authorities) can find out easily who leaked the information if they want to," Trump told Fox News. Trump says Iran strike intel leakers should be PROSECUTEDBut doesn't specify who: 'if they wanted, they could find out easily' — RT (@RT_com) June 29, 2025 Earlier, the Republican President claimed that Democrats are the ones who leaked the intel, which involved an assessment by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA). It claimed that the recent strikes under Operation Midnight Hammer may not have had as severe an impact on Iran's nuclear sites, contradicting Trump's claims of complete destruction. The FBI is currently working to identify the source of the leak. However, no individual has been named so far, and investigators have not publicly linked the leak to any specific political party or group. Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defence, singled out some prominent media outlets for carrying the leaked intelligence on their platform. 'Whether it's fake news CNN, MSNBC or the New York Times, there's been fawning coverage of a preliminary assessment," he said. He claimed the leak was a result of an anti-Trump agenda: 'It was leaked because someone had an agenda to try to muddy the waters and make it look like this historic strike wasn't successful." However, neither Trump nor the White House has presented any solid evidence linking the leak to the Democratic Party. Last weekend, the US B-2 stealth bombers reportedly carried out airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow and Natanz, using multiple GBU-57 bunker-busting munitions. A third location, the Isfahan facility, was targeted by Tomahawk cruise missiles believed to have been launched from an American Navy submarine. First Published:

The first one was through an executive order on January 20, his first day in office, after the platform went dark briefly when a national ban — approved by Congress and upheld by the US Supreme Court — took effect. The second was in April when White House officials believed they were nearing a deal to spin off TikTok into a new company with the US ownership that fell apart after China backed out following Trump's tariff announcement. It is not clear how many times Trump can — or will — keep extending the ban as the government continues to try to negotiate a deal for TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance. While there is no clear legal basis for the extensions, so far there have been no legal challenges to fight them. Trump has amassed more than 15 million followers on TikTok since he joined last year, and he has credited the trendsetting platform with helping him gain traction among young voters. He said in January that he has a "warm spot for TikTok". Live Events FAQs Q1. Who is President of USA? A1. President of USA is Donald Trump. Q2. Is TikTok banned in USA? A2.

Damage was reported in Kyiv, Lviv, Poltava, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy and Ivano-Frankivsk. One of the casualties was F-16 pilot Maksym Ustymenko. According to Ukraine's Air Force, he destroyed seven airborne targets before his jet was hit. 'The pilot used all of his onboard weapons and shot down seven air targets. While shooting down the last one, his aircraft was damaged and began to lose altitude,' the Air Force said in a statement quoted by Reuters. Zelenskyy confirmed the pilot's death in a separate message posted with video footage showing damage to civilian areas. 'Tragically, while repelling the attack, our F-16 pilot, Maksym Ustymenko, died. Today, he destroyed 7 aerial targets. My condolences to his family and brothers-in-arms,' he wrote. Russia has increased the frequency of large-scale airstrikes in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials said Moscow launched more than 1,270 drones, 114 missiles and 1,100 glide bombs over the past week alone. Russia's state-run RIA news agency said a Ukrainian drone killed one person in the Russian-held part of Luhansk. Both sides deny targeting civilians.
