President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that Democrat lawmakers are responsible for leaking top secret intelligence about last week’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
“The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the nuclear sites in Iran,” the president posted on Truth Social. “They should be prosecuted!”
The post comes as the Pentagon, along with assistance from the FBI, is actively working to identify the source of leaks about a preliminary Central Command battle damage assessment. At least one anonymous source leaked the information, which was preliminary, to CNN and the New York Times.
Both outlets have claimed that “early U.S. intelligence assessments” indicate that the strikes were not as effective as previously thought. “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,” CNN reported.
In addition, the reports have claimed that the strikes on Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment site — the heavily-fortified facility that was targeted by multiple bunker buster bombs — caused largely surface-level damage and can be re-built relatively quickly.
Senior members of the Trump Administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have thoroughly debunked the reports by noting that the assessment in question was merely preliminary.
The Pentagon, in conjunction with the FBI, will be probing who had access to a report by the Defense Intelligence Agency, its intelligence arm, Hegseth told reporters.
“When you talk to people who built the bombs, understand what those bombs can do and deliver those bombs, they landed precisely where they were supposed to,” Hegseth said.
“So it was a flawless mission … Any assessment that tells you something otherwise is speculating with other motives. And we know that because when you actually look at the report — by the way, it was a top secret report — it was preliminary, it was low confidence. All right. … And we believe far more likely severe and obliterated. So this is a political motive here.”
In response to the relentless pushback and disclosure of additional information, CNN has been quietly walking back the explosive claims in its initial report. Brett McGurk, a CNN global affairs analyst and former diplomat, went so far as to assert that President Trump’s planned operation “worked flawlessly.”
“These massive [bombs], with significant computer software engineering, went directly down to those three ventilated shafts specifically as designed,” he said Thursday. “It worked. It seems it worked flawlessly.”
McGurk further noted that the Pentagon’s battle damage assessment is not yet complete and will continue to develop in the coming days.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I hope true. But democrats weren’t given the information. Trump said he didn’t trust them so did the exercise without Dems knowledge.
Well the Democrats need a good beating anyway...
I’ve been half wondering if that original DIA report was political flypaper.
There is simply no way anybody could know at this point how much damage was done to those centrifuges or not. Only a deluded fool would have run with it. :-)
My spidey sense tells me ILHAN OMAR !!!!
I understood they contacted the speaker of the house, the president of the senate and Schumer. Dollar Store Obama did not answer the phone.
Prosecuted for treason. The death penalty is warranted here.
Trump is referring to the initial faulty analysis of the bombing Fordow itself.
Not of the mission.
Yeah those were US Dem senators who didnt get the info(Except he did call Schmucky Schumer and Jeffries who did not answer the phone) if a member of Congress did leak this out dont be surprised if it wasnt Massie..he was the first one to pop into my head he hates Trump just as much as any commie
“Trump said he didn’t trust them so did the exercise without Dems knowledge.”
That was pre-mission.
“ But democrats weren’t given the information. Trump said he didn’t trust them so did the exercise without Dems knowledge.”

That has nothing to do with this leak. This leak is about the destruction of Iran’s nuclear sites.
The Democrat Party motto: “Anything to hurt America.”
Duh! Democrats were not given Advance notice before the mission. DemoRats may have received post-mission intelligence briefing.
by the way, it was a top secret report

In the realm of information security and cybersecurity, “Top Secret” is a classification level used to denote information that, if disclosed without authorization, could cause exceptionally grave damage to national security. This classification is part of a hierarchical system used by governments and organizations to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. The “Top Secret” designation is the highest level of classification, above “Secret” and “Confidential,” and is typically reserved for the most sensitive data.
Nope. Not until today. Sorry.
Dems found out today. That was the soonest they could leak.
by the way, it was a top secret report
Out of a total of eleven prosecutions under the Espionage Act against government officials accused of providing classified information to the press, seven have occurred since Obama took office.[95] “Leaks related to national security can put people at risk”, he said at a news conference in 2013. “They can put men and women in uniform that I’ve sent into the battlefield at risk. I don’t think the American people would expect me, as commander in chief, not to be concerned about information that might compromise their missions or might get them killed.”[96]
They weren’t given prior information regarding the impending bombing.
Doesn’t mean they where denied post bombing briefings and assessments.
They are snakes.
Might have pulled a Schiffty on them and left the report where someone could find it if they were looking where they shouldn't be.
