The Pentagon has launched an unusually large leak investigation, giving polygraph tests to roughly 50 members of the Joint Staff after news reports exposed shortages of key U.S. munitions during the war with Iran.
Investigators asked officers and civilian employees whether they had shared classified information with journalists, including details about depleted missile and Patriot interceptor stocks.
Officials described the scale of the effort as unprecedented for senior military personnel.
