President Trump Claims Democrats Leaked Iran Intel Report to CNN: “They Should Be Prosecuted!”


President Trump just accused the Democrats of leaking a (very fishy) intel report on the Iranian nuclear strikes to CNN.

In a post on Truth Social, he is now calling for their prosecution.

Read here:

Following the precision strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last weekend, a CNN report emerged citing an intel report leak that claimed the strikes did not actually obliterate Iran’s biggest nuclear facility.

Of course, the White House has confirmed that CNN’s reporting is, as usual, total bogus and that the strikes were incredibly successful.

Colin Rugg shared:

BREAKING: CNN discloses “top secret” information on live TV, claiming the strikes on Iran left their nuclear sites “largely intact.”
The claim has since been refuted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
“Based on everything we have seen, and I’ve seen it all, our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons,” Hegseth said.
“Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran.”
“So anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission.”

For reference, the original CNN report read:

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”

Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.” Another source said that the intelligence assessed enriched uranium was moved out of the sites prior to the US strikes.

“So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added.

The White House acknowledged the existence of the assessment but said they disagreed with it.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

Trump, who’s in the Netherlands attending this week’s NATO summit, pushed back on CNN’s report in a Truth Social post. “One of the most successful military strikes in history,” Trump wrote in the all-caps post adding, “The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed!”

Hegseth, who is also at the NATO summit, said Wednesday the assessment was “a top secret report; it was preliminary; it was low confidence;” adding that there were political motives behind leaking it and that an FBI investigation was underway to identify the leaker.

The US military has said the operation went as planned and that it was an “overwhelming success.”

It’s obvious that whoever is responsible for this leak didn’t have very good sources in the first place…

However, it’s still a huge deal that someone — likely from within the government — is giving away top secret intel to the media.

Leaks like this are completely unacceptable, to say the least, and President Trump is absolutely right that whoever it is should be investigated and prosecuted.

Earlier today, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that the leak most likely came from Congress.
