    Is there a US law forbidding spying on other countries?

    I don’t see the crime here.

    I’m confused. So it was/is US policy that it would be a good thing if Israel attacked Iran?

      I mean, probably. But the reason he’s being charged is more about draconian rules about sharing classified documents with foreign entities.

          If he didn’t want to see consequences, he could always run for president.

    If the Israelis were serious about attacking Iran, they’d manipulate the US to do it. They only commit their own troops to low-risk activities like gunning down civilians.
