House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) confirmed on Sunday that the U.S. government is now investigating the unauthorized release of these documents, which are believed to have originated from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.
Now, a senior Pentagon official has been identified as the primary suspect in a classified leak involving the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) plan to strike Iran.
The American official under suspicion has been named as Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian-American scholar of political science who currently serves as a senior policy advisor at the Pentagon.

One of the first things that should happen if Mr Trump is elected might well be the cancelation of many security clearances.

Not surprising. Obama remains the Iranian's top spy.

With Iranian employees throughout this administration -from the VERY TOP puppeteer and puppets on down, what should we expect. The Israelis would be fools to let this administration in on their plans. Until it was publicly exposed, the Israelis could have used this 'leak' as a way to plant fake plans so as to decoy the Iranians into wasting time, people, and money countering Israeli plans that were fakes, and leaving the real items or people the Israelis are targeting less protected.

The rope or the chair.
No one has been executed for espionage since 1953 and this is the result.

Extremely sensitive information like an attack plan would have been designated "Eyes Only." Get that list and start at the top. Given the anti-Israeli position of this entire sham administration, it could have been anybody. Hopefully, Bibi was clever enough to send them a fake plan and intends to follow the real one. Iran's radars and missile defenses will be helpless to stop whatever he does anyway.

As Trump said, the Dims don't fire people or hold them accountable, add in the loss of the merit system and here we are.

The alleged leader had previously been outed as an Iranian spy but was kept on anyway? Only the Biden administration would keep a known enemy spy on their payroll and not think that anything bad would happen. Whoever decided to keep the leaker on must also be removed from their job for having no common sense.

The penatagon denied Ariane Tabatabai was the spy.
I never believe any rumor until it has been officially denied by DC swamp, so she must be the leaker.

This is ALMOST unbelievable. If it were any administration except Biden-Obama it would be unbelievable but honestly does anything that happened in the Pentagon or CIA or any intelligence operation in this country surprise us after 51 of those C-suckers signed that lie against Trump and are still working in intelligence.

And notice how the msm has for the most part, kept this story on the down low because the leak happened right under biden the cheater's and Kamalie's nose.
I agree with #13. Whenever the pentagon says something, the opposite is true.

Since every other Biden official was appointed for every reason other than their competence,
I suggest they dig a little deeper.
I predict that Tabatabani is a lesbian, or is pro-abortion, or something else, on top of being an Iranian spy.

For years I've been posting the same thing dozens of times - - - -
It isn't incompetence - - it isn't laziness - - it isn't negligence. What is it? Very simple - - they're on THEIR side!
And it doesn't matter who the "they" are. If it's against America's well-being - - that's the side they're on. They're on THEIR side - - always.

Austin: No one in my office did it.
Ummm - - Lloyd - - what about the lady in the next office? Have you checked her out? You know - - the Iranian who already betrayed our country - - have you looked into what she's been doing?

Surprise...surprise...the White House...thanks to Barack HUSSEIN Obama is full to over flowing with Iranian spies...WE've known this all along...but now it's out there in the open for all to see...Bibi was smart enough to pull in his information to biden's den of thieves..and kept the pager and phones secret...so that the deed could be done without telling Hezbollah in advance through the White House...talk about enemies from within.....

RE: reply #4
I hope #4 is correct. The Democrats have shown a willingness to appease Iran to a degree that would make Nevil “peace in our time” Chamberlain blush. They opened the money spigot which enabled Iran to equip Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel on October 7th. It would be nice if they used the spy in the Biden administration to have Iran chasing its tail.

The Biden Administration keeps a known crook and traitor in the Oval Office so a spy in the Pentagon is nothing.

They should take that spy out and shoot him and the people who knew about him also. What the heck is going on in our country when we allow this to happen?

With 50 years' worth of annual, mandatory classes on Subversion and Espionage Directed Against the U.S. Army (SAEDA) or Threat Awareness and Reporting Program (TARP), or whatever they were calling that year, it REALLY galls me when the Spooks play silly buggers and let a threat become a real enemy.
We could, at least, take her off the payroll.
(I bet the Intel guys thought they had Ariane completely under control and could use her to lead them to other threats.)

But of course. Democrats, since obama, love Iran more than the U.S., and certainly more than Israel.

At least the Trojans weren’t stupid enough to invite the Greeks into their city! This country has completely lost its way, our politicians are hopelessly, corrupt, and now the military is compromised. Trump or no Trump, it will be an act of God if this country manages to pull itself out of this dive into destruction!

Trump was getting rid of hundred of these spies who were working at our universities. Biden came in and stopped it. These parasites are imbedded in all top levels of our government. They are in bed with every democrat. Ever wonder why democrats are pro China and pro Iranian, there's your answer. And democratic voters still don't get it. Why do you think our borders are wide open. Thank your fellow democrats for that. Destroying our country from within and they still don't get it. Freakin pathetic.

This goes beyond firing. Give her the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg treatment...the electric chair. Ike had no problem in executing those two and we shouldn't either in frying her. Somehow, I wonder if this was a setup to out her and the plans she revealed were false. Regardless, introduce her to Old Sparky.

As a former intelligence officer who was subjected to several routine polygraph exams during the course of a 30 year career I have never been able to understand why DOD doesn't polygraph its people in sensitive positions. Perhaps a former DOD employee can answer that for me.
