Amid escalating US-Iran tensions, Donald Trump claimed a potential “mole” within the United States government leaked sensitive details about a covert rescue mission in Iran. He warned a journalist to reveal their source or face jail, alleging the leak endangered a second stranded airman whose presence was previously unknown to Iranian forces. Trump said the complex operation involved 155 aircraft and relied on deception to mislead adversaries. The disclosure, he argued, compromised operational security and heightened risks. The administration is now investigating the leak, underscoring concerns over national security and press freedom during a volatile geopolitical crisis. (PC: Reuters)
