美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯据报已解雇五角大楼联合参谋部负责战略、计划和政策的高级陆军战略家布雷特·西尔维亚中将 1。此次人事变动源于西尔维亚涉嫌向公众泄露机密信息，五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔确认了这一消息，并指出在空军特别调查办公室进行广泛调查后，采取必要措施旨在保护敏感信息及国家安全 1。相关泄密指控已被移交司法部，以评估潜在的法律行动 1。
一名未具名的高级五角大楼官员向路透社透露，西尔维亚在测谎仪测试中三次未能通过，其中涉及是否披露机密材料的问题 1。这一举措被视为赫格塞斯打击内部泄密及限制媒体访问系列行动的最新进展，此前他已于7月宣布成立联合特别工作组，专门用于“识别并起诉”未经授权向媒体披露敏感信息的行为 1。与此同时，数十名记者因拒绝遵守正面临法律挑战的新媒体政策而交还了记者证，该事件也引发了关于新闻自由和第一修正案的争议 1。
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly dismissed Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, the director for strategy, plans and policy at the Joint Staff, citing allegations of leaking classified information to the public. 1 Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed the personnel change, stating that necessary measures were taken to protect sensitive information following an extensive investigation by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. 1 The case has been referred to the Department of Justice for potential legal action. 1
According to a senior Pentagon official speaking to Reuters, Sylvia failed polygraph tests three times, with questions focusing on whether he disclosed confidential materials. 1 This dismissal represents the latest development in Hegseth’s broader campaign to curb internal leaks and restrict media access within the department. 1 In July, Hegseth announced the creation of a joint task force aimed specifically at identifying and prosecuting unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information to the media. 1 Concurrently, dozens of journalists have returned their press credentials after refusing to comply with new media policies that are currently facing legal challenges. 1 The controversy unfolds against the backdrop of the US war involving Iran, which is now entering its ninth month and remains unpopular. 1
