Ok, getting pissed. Retired Navy cryptologist. I have seen clearances revoked for less. If this story is factual, or has any basis in reality, this is a serious breach of basically everything I know about security. What the hell?

You're right. You never give away what your capabilities are. Maybe the Iranians had some clues that pointed at the US or Israel etc. Maybe they had some that pointed at others as the source. By going public with this, he just confirmed and/or refuted some of their sources. That gives the Iranians more confidence in some sources, less in others. In other words folks, he just gave their intelligence services undeniable aid and support.

Interesting how hussein is only referred to by title what, once in the article. Then it is simply "Mr."

One other thing. These meetings, if they took place, were "secret" meetings. So presumably no-one is allowed to talk about them. Only the anointed hussein cohort in crime can "leak" their version of events. If anyone else talks about them, off to prison, do not pass go, do not get your day in court. (National Security don't you know!) So all we have is some hussein flunky's version of events. I seriously doubt it went down the way they say it did.
