Whoever released this information should absolutely be prosecuted for releasing military national security secrets. There is no justification whatsoever for anyone in the State Department or ANY other capacity divulging national security secrets. There are NO greater national security secrets than our military contingency plans. In the most real sense, anyone who released this information to the press was acting 100% as a spy for Iran.

I'm thinking that if there isn't a plan for how to engage various foreign enemies, Iran among them, someone in the administration isn't doing their job.
Agree 100%. If Trump doesn't clean house, these deep state Obama holdovers are going to cost more lives than they already have. It's a huge problem. Obama, and his administration were in bed with Iran, and did everything in their power to undermine Israel, our strongest ally in the ME.

It seems that many countries and the UN security council agree with the U.S. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ponsors-iran&usg=AOvVaw39Whuj-i54lmf4bIbEmDiT
"The U.S. State Department considers Iran the world’s "most active state sponsor of terrorism." U.S. officials say Iran provides funding, weapons, training, and sanctuary to numerous terrorist groups--most notably in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon--posing a security concern to the international community. Iran’s declarations that it has successfully enriched uranium and developed new missile technology have heightened alarm in the United States and other countries that the Islamic Republic might transfer weapons of mass destruction (PDF) to militants or armed groups. Iran’s leaders, who deny allegations they support terrorism (DerSpiegel), assert their rights under an international treaty to pursue nuclear power and insist their efforts are for peaceful purposes. But the international community remains unconvinced, imposing a growing list of sanctions against Tehran. Financial pressure has been applied by the UN Security Council, the European Union, international financial bodies, and a number of individual countries, including the United States."

That was my thought. It would be irresponsible to NOT consider all options to protect our Embassy, and to have assets in place in case the situation worsened. If nothing else, this was the clear lesson of Benghazi.
Why would the info that they had asked the Pentagon for those options be a national security secret?

The Iranian government can now quote the WSJ to promote anti-American propaganda and to justify further military build up.
