In depth

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed General Brett Sylvia, head of the Army's Planning and Strategy Directorate, from his post. According to Arutz Sheva, the Pentagon announced that a criminal investigation had been opened against the general on suspicion of leaking classified information about Iran. According to Channel 14, the dismissal was carried out without explanation and without naming a replacement, while Trump is weighing further strikes in Iran.

According to Channel 14, an internal Pentagon review revealed that Sylvia admitted to passing classified information on US policy toward Iran to two journalists, after failing four polygraph tests. The investigation uncovered correspondence on the Signal app and a meeting with a reporter at a restaurant, and the Justice Department will examine the possibility of prosecuting him.
