US Spy Hunt: Was the leaking of the secret rescue mission of the American airman stranded in Iran just a mistake or a conspiracy by an ‘insider spy’? Donald Trump openly warned the journalist – “Tell me your sources or go to jail!” How was the operation involving 155 aircraft exposed, and did this leak put the soldier’s life in danger?
US Iran Secret Rescue Operation: Former US President Donald Trump has made a very shocking claim, which has shaken both the security agencies and the media. They say that information about a secret rescue mission of an American airman stranded in Iran was leaked – and this leak may have been done not by an external enemy, but by a “spy” (spy) sitting inside America. According to Trump, the leak was so serious that it endangered the life of the other airman, who was still trapped in Iran after the initial rescue. The Iranian Army did not have this information earlier, but the situation changed after the news came in the media.
Why did Trump get angry at the journalist? “Tell us the source or go to jail.”
The biggest controversy in this matter arose when Trump warned the journalist who first published the news of this mission. He said in clear words that if the journalist does not disclose his sources, he may have to go to jail. This statement is rekindling the debate of media freedom versus national security. Although Trump did not name any single media organization, big platforms like The New York Times, Fox News and Axios had featured this news prominently.

What was the real game after the F-15E crash?
The crux of the whole matter is related to the fall of an American fighter plane F-15E Strike Eagle over Iran. In this accident, one pilot was quickly rescued, but the other Weapons System Officer got trapped there. Trump said that to save him, America conducted a very large and secret operation, in which a total of 155 aircraft were involved. This included fighter jets, bombers, tankers and rescue aircraft.

Secret operation of 155 planes – yet how did it get leaked?
According to Trump, this mission was not just a rescue, but also a strategic subterfuge. America wanted the Iranian army to have the illusion that the soldier was somewhere else, so that he could be evacuated safely. But as news of the mission got out, the Iranian military became aware of the real situation—making the entire operation even more difficult.
Is there really an ‘insider’ threat in America?
Is there really someone inside the American system who is leaking secret information? Trump claims that his team is working quickly to catch this “mole”. He says that such leaks not only jeopardize the mission but also put the lives of the soldiers at risk.
