A former CIA employee who admitted to leaking sensitive intelligence regarding Israel’s potential military actions against Iran has been sentenced to just over three years behind bars, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday.
Asif William Rahman, who began working for the CIA in 2016, confessed earlier this year to unlawfully copying, printing, and sharing classified material on multiple occasions, including several incidents in 2024.
The leaks occurred during a period of heightened hostility between Israel and Iran, when both nations were engaged in a tense back-and-forth involving covert and overt strikes.
