‘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:
