El Pentágono declaró que el teniente general Brett Sylvia falló tres pruebas de polígrafo y fue acusado de filtrar información clasificada, lo que llevó a abogados a afirmar que la divulgación podría violar la Ley de Privacidad de 1974. Anteriormente, el secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth había destituido a Sylvia de su cargo como director J-5 del Estado Mayor Conjunto tras una investigación del Departamento de Defensa que lo vinculó a divulgaciones no autorizadas sobre Irán y el conflicto en Ucrania. El Pentágono remitió el caso al Departamento de Justicia para una posible acusación penal, y el despido coincidió con los comentarios del presidente Trump sobre posibles nuevos ataques contra Irán.
