U.S. military considers confiscating phones from troops stationed in the Middle East… “Information is leaking to Iran via social media”

U.S. forces in the Middle East are weighing phone seizures at some bases to curb social media and video leaks.

CENTCOM warned that soldiers’ posts and app data could help Iran assess the effects of missile and drone strikes.

The concern is that battlefield images and location data could improve an adversary’s targeting and follow-on attack decisions.

Sites in Jordan are among the locations where tighter controls, including possible phone confiscation, are being discussed.
