DIA Intelligence Leak and Mike Baker's Assessment

A leaked Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) memo suggesting that strikes on Iran fell short of objectives is analyzed. Former spook Mike Baker describes the report as a "low confidence assessment," meaning it was based on unvetted or thin evidence. Baker suggests the timing of the leak was a deliberate attempt at information warfare to discredit the administration's narrative of a successful mission.
