April 7, 2026

US President Donald Trump claims American authorities are trying to identify a person who “leaked” information about a missing US airman who was stranded in Iran over the weekend. “These two extraordinary rescues ... as you know, we didn’t talk about the first one for an hour, and then somebody leaked something, which we’ll hopefully find that leaker,” he said.
“We think we’ll be able to find it out because we’re going to go to the media company that released it, and we’re going to say: ‘National security – give it up or go to jail’. “We’re going to find out, it’s national security, and the person that did the story will go to jail if he doesn’t say.”
