Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia was subject of investigation into leaking information about Iran and Ukraine.
United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the director of the Strategy, Plans and Policy Directorate at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, for what the Pentagon says is severe misconduct. The move comes amid reports that the US had warned its allies of a possible renewal of strikes against Iran.
A Department of Defense official told Al Jazeera on Thursday that Sylvia had been “meeting with journalists outside the Pentagon in order to leak classified information”.
