President Donald Trump's decision to tweet out a photo of an Iranian launch pad that he got from a classified intelligence briefing this week has stunned national-security and intelligence veterans.The US rarely disseminates such imagery, and Trump's move to release the photo presents a goldmine for foreign intelligence, who can use the image to make inferences about the US's aerial surveillance capabilities.Robert Deitz, a former top lawyer at the CIA and the National Security Agency, told Insider Trump made a "serious mistake" and that "one doesn't use intel for the purposes of taunting. The Russians and the Chinese will be very happy to study this."Experts also highlighted that just because Trump has the authority to declassify anything he wants, his tendency to exercise that power without discretion sends up red flags within the US intelligence community and with overseas allies.
