US polygraphs about 50 Joint Staff members over Iran war leaks

Roughly 50 members of the US Joint Staff underwent polygraph testing in August over the leak of classified information, including details on munition shortages tied to the Iran war. A retired Navy judge advocate general called the scale of polygraphing senior staff 'unprecedented.'

Why this matters. The probe signals internal US concern that classified details on dwindling munitions stockpiles for the Iran campaign are leaking, which could affect Washington's operational posture and allies' confidence in supply continuity.
