US President Donald Trump lashed out at campaign rallies for what he thought was critical coverage of the Iran war and called for the execution of those who leaked information to the media. “In my opinion, the leaker should have been shot. They should have been shot. This is how we used to treat leakers.” Trump said during the election campaign in Bullhead, Arizona, “Leakers must be punished very, very harshly. They actually exist. In my opinion, they are scum.” Trump on Wednesday mentioned what he called an attack on Iran, which used US military strength in Missouri. He said he had to reschedule the operation due to key details being leaked. He did not specify which operation he was referring to, nor did he provide any direct evidence that leaking information to the media forced the Pentagon to change any military plans.
