The FBI charged CIA officer Asif Rahman on Tuesday for leaking highly classified documents about Israel’s plan to retaliate against Iran for its missile attack earlier this year. The New York Times’s Adam Goldman and Seamus Hughes first reported the charges against Rahman, who the FBI arrested on two counts of violating the Espionage Act: The information in the documents is highly classified and details interpretations of satellite imagery that shed light on a possible strike by Israel on Iran. They began circulating last month on the Telegram app. U.S. officials have previously said that they did not know from where the documents had been taken, and that they were looking for the original source of the leak. Court documents said Mr. Rahman held a top secret security clearance with access to sensitive compartmentalized information, which is typical for many C.I.A. employees who handle classified materials. Iran is reportedly postponing its promised third ballistic missile attack on Israel in the hope of reaching a deal with President-elect Donald Trump, who has taken a hard line on Iran but has also expressed hope of a new agreement. https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2024/11/13/iran-israel-attack-deal-trump/ Prince Turki bin Faisal al-Saud, former Saudi ambassador to the United States, has written an open letter to President-elect Donald Trump asking him to “finish what you started the last time you occupied the White House” with respect to Middle Eastern affairs. “I believe God spared your life not only to deal with the situation inside the United States, which faces enormous challenges for you to overcome, but, because America is what it is, to work with your friends in Saudi Arabia and other friends you have in the area, to pursue what you started before: to bring PEACE, with capital letters, to the Middle East,” he told Trump. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, directly addressed the Iranian people in a video message on Tuesday, for the second time within a few weeks, as Israel continues to await a possible Iranian retaliatory attack. The prime minister declared that the Islamic regime is getting weaker every day, while Israel is becoming stronger: “Yet there's one thing Khamenei’s regime fears more than Israel. You know what it is? It’s you – the people of Iran.” “Well, I say to you this: don’t let your dreams die. I hear the whispers: Women, Life, Freedom. Zan, Zendegi, Azadi. Don’t lose hope. And know that Israel and others in the free world stand with you,” Netanyahu added. “I want you to imagine – just imagine – how your life could be different if Iran was free. You could speak your mind without fear. You could make a joke without wondering if you’d be carted off to Evin prison. Close your eyes. Picture the faces of your children – beautiful innocent souls… Imagine how your children’s lives would look if billions of dollars were invested in them instead of being wasted on wars that can’t be won.” “I know that you don’t want this war. I don’t want this war either. The people of Israel don’t want this war. There is one force putting your family in grave danger: the tyrants of Tehran.” I have no doubt that one day in a free Iran, Israelis and Iranians will build together a future of prosperity and peace.” “That is the future Israel deserves. That is the future Iran deserves. Together, let us turn this beautiful dream into a reality.” Amir Tsarfati, November 13: US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee this morning in an interview to Israeli radio station: [55 minutes]
