Israel busts decade's largest Hamas network in West Bank
ALBAWABA — The Pentagon and FBI are working together to look into how a secret intelligence report about the recent U.S. bombings on Iranian nuclear sites got out without permission. The investigation came about because of rising debate over different stories about how well the plan worked. On Sunday night, President Donald Trump revealed that federal officials are looking into who shared the first report, which was first seen on CNN and questioned whether the strikes were successful. "Moving such heavy material is nearly impossible, and it hasn't happened," Trump said again when asked if Iran had moved its refined uranium before the attack. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, said that the sites that were attacked had "extensive damage," but he said that a full review of the damage would take more time. At the same time, the White House kept saying that the mission had been successful and that the leaked information was "low confidence" and "misleading." Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, was very angry at what she called "selective and unlawful leaks" in the news media. She was especially angry at CNN. According to her, government information shows that the action was "highly effective" at weakening Iran's nuclear powers. Because of the leak, the Biden government has reduced the amount of secret information that can be sent to Congress. A top White House source said that the secret information had been put on a safe private platform that was meant to help politicians and national security agencies work together. As part of its own study, the government is now looking again at who can access these kinds of tools. - الخلية العسكرية الأكثر تعقيدًا خلال العقد الأخير .. الشاباك يكشف عن خلية لحركة حمـاس في الخليل فائقة التعقيد - الخلية مكونة من 60 شخصًا موزعين على 10 خلايا صغيرة - الشاباك كشف عن مخبأ تحت الأرض كان يستخدم لإيواء المطاردين وتخزين الأسلحة - الخلية تعمل منذ زمن طويل فقد نفذ… — أحمد جرار (@j_jarar) June 29, 2025 As for the claim that Iran's supply of refined uranium had been moved before the attack, Leavitt said that intelligence reports had shown that no such activity had been seen at key sites like Fordow. Report that is being argued over casts doubt on the facts Reports say that the secret assessment went against what Trump said in public, which was that three nuclear sites had been "completely destroyed." The study instead said that the attacks might have only put off Iran's nuclear program for a few months. This story has sparked a public discussion and made people wonder about how open the U.S. intelligence community really is. The debate has made things even more tense between Iran and the US at a time when things are still trying to get back to normal after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran.
