Federal authorities accuse Rahman of sharing documents on the Telegram messaging app from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NCIS) and National Security Agency (NSA). The information shared reportedly showed interpretations of satellite imagery showing plans for an Israeli strike on Iran, including documents revealing Israel was moving military assets in place to launch the retaliatory strike.
The documents were leaked within the U.S., U.K., Canada, New Zealand and Australia. An FBI investigation eventually linked Rahman to the leak, who agents say had top secret clearance.
Israel carried out attacks on multiple sites in Iran in late October.
Rahman’s arrest came the same U.S. Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira was sentenced to 15 years in prison for leaking top secret information on Russia’s war in Ukraine.
