A former CIA officer was convicted in federal court in Virginia on Monday of leaking classified information to a New York Times reporter about a failed US effort to undermine Iran's nuclear weapons program, the Washington Post reported.

 

Jeffrey Sterling was found guilty of nine counts of unauthorized disclosure of national defense information that prosecutors said put lives at risk and compromised US efforts to deter Iran's nuclear plans, the Post said.
