President Trump has tweeted what experts say is almost certainly an image from a classified satellite or drone, showing the aftermath of an accident at an Iranian space facility.
"The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir [Space Launch Vehicle] Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran," the president said in a tweet that accompanied the image on Friday. "I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One."
NPR broke the news of the launch failure on Thursday, using images from commercial satellites that flew over Iran's Imam Khomeini Space Center. Those images showed smoke billowing from the pad. Iran has since acknowledged an accident occurred at the site.

Just as bad, did he tweet this from a secured PC?

(4,741 posts)The entire classification system is based on an Executive Order (13526), so whatever that shithead decides to post is unclassified, legal and clear.
Even if it were the blueprints for the W80 warhead or the entire "NOC list" of all our undercover agents. It's stupid, shitty, short-sighted, moronic, imbecilic, destructive, counterproductive, unprofessional and goddamned idiotic - but for once, it ain't illegal.
