Several security breaches spotted in Trump's situation room during US strikes

Several images were posted online by The White House's social media team.

The White House has accidentally revealed several security breaches after releasing photos of President Donald Trump's situation room during the initial phase of the USA's strikes on Iran.

Multiple images were posted on The White House's social media pages yesterday, showing Trump and several advisors inside a room at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, monitoring the early progress of Operation Epic Fury on Saturday.

However, some of these images have either shown security breaches, or fallen foul of the law themselves in the act of being posted.

One of the images, featuring President Trump in a white 'USA' hat, has a map of the operation in the background.

Whilst much of it is obscured by the head of an advisor, it still reveals the position of some US forces and assets, as well as other important information and intelligence that may be classified.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Willis is also seen in the situation room, but she is committing a security breach of her own.

During discussions, she is pictured wearing an Apple Watch, which according to Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility protocols, is not allowed in a secure and high security environment like a situation room during a major military operation.

This is because the bluetooth and wireless microphone features on such devices are considered major data leakage risks.

Trump's presence in Mar-a-Lago itself was also considered a major risk, as it meant he was away from secure facilities at The White House usually used by presidents in such situations.

The room Trump and his crew lacked privacy, only being curtained off from others areas of the resort, with gaps seen that could reveal sensitive information.

Vice President JD Vance was pictured in The White House's secure Situation Room alongside cabinet secretaries on February 28 local time, according to images posted on social media.
