Former CIA employee Asif Rahman pleaded guilty in court on Friday to leaking classified Pentagon documents that revealed Israel's military preparations for a retaliatory attack on Iran. U.S. and Israeli security sources admitted the leak delayed the planned operation.
Rahman faces up to 20 years under U.S. espionage laws, though a plea deal limits his sentence to a maximum of 6.5 years.
