Trump Condemns Leaks of US Military Plans on Iran at Campaign RallyPreviousNext

At a midterm campaign rally in Arizona, former President Donald Trump condemned leaks of sensitive US military plans targeting Iran, stating that leakers "should be shot." He accused media outlets like The New York Times and CNN of publishing information that forced him to postpone a planned operation, though he did not specify the operation or provide evidence. Trump reiterated his longstanding criticism of media coverage, emphasizing strong measures against those who disclose classified information.
