Around 50 US military and civilian officials were reportedly subjected to lie detector tests as part of an investigation into leaks related to the Iran war. The tests were reportedly aimed at identifying officials who may have shared classified information with journalists. The investigation followed reports about shortages of key weapons, including long-range missiles and Patriot interceptors. According to reports, none of the officials failed the questions asked during the tests. The Pentagon has not publicly disclosed details of the investigation but has said it takes the unauthorised disclosure of classified national security information seriously. (PC: NDTV)
