Political analyst Ali Qwabena says the Pentagon has launched the polygraph tests as US officials are looking for someone to blame over the leaks.

The Pentagon reportedly subjects roughly 50 members of the US military’s Joint Staff to polygraph tests as part of an unprecedented investigation into leaks to journalists, including reports about dwindling US munitions stocks during the war on Iran, according to officials briefed on the investigation.

The US military disables ad trackers on its troops' phones and computers amid fears of Iran retaliation, reports say.

Pentagon fires the editor-in-chief, publisher, and a top reporter of the Stars and Stripes newspaper on Friday over “insubordination.”

The Pentagon has recorded 757 US service members wounded and 18 killed since Washington and Tel Aviv launched their aggression against Iran.

An informed regional intelligence source tells Press TV that the US military has no viable plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz, as President Donald Trump looks for scapegoats and turns to psychological warfare against Iran.

Trump has ordered the Pentagon to reduce joint military exercises with South Korea, while activists protested the annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise.
