A U.S. federal jury on Monday convicted a former CIA officer for revealing highly classified information to The New York Times about a U.S. operation designed to sabotage Iran's nuclear program.
Jeffrey Sterling, 47, who was fired from the Central Intelligence Agency in 2002, was found guilty of nine counts, including six counts of unauthorized disclosure of national defense information and one count of obstruction of justice.
The prosecutors said Sterling revealed the Iran secrets to media because he was angry about his dismissal. Sterling now faces the possibility of dozens of years in prison and will be sentenced on April 24.
