Terrifying ‘security breach’ spotted in Trump’s Situation Room as Ice Maiden Susie Wiles faces blowback
Susie Wiles, one of Donald Trump’s most loyal figures, faced backlash after she was seen wearing an electronic fitness device next to the President during the bombing of Iran.
The White House released photos on Saturday morning from the makeshift Mar-a-Lago Situation Room, where Trump oversaw the launch of ‘Operation Epic Rage’, which resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
One of the photos shows Wiles talking to Trump and clearly wearing a personal electronic wrist device. Some online users initially believed it to be an Apple Watch, but it was later identified as a WHOOP fitness tracker.
Critics called it a potential security breach and questioned how a Bluetooth-enabled electronic fitness tracker could penetrate such a sensitive environment. Others claimed the device could be remotely hacked and used to spy on the president during a top-secret military operation.
“I love my @WHOOP (and recognized it right away in Susie Wiles’ photo),” shared CNN’s Brian Stelter.
WHOOP CEO Will Ahmed made a statement saying that the device ‘It does not include any type of microphone, GPS or cellular features.
He added that it has long been on the National Security Agency’s (NSA) list of approved personal electronic devices.
The White House also defended Susie Wiles in a statement to the Daily Mail, saying WHOOP devices were ‘secure by design’ and were authorized by the NSA to be used during classified briefings.

Another user noted that most intelligence agencies strictly ban personal Bluetooth-enabled wearable devices, including smartwatches and fitness trackers, in the Situation Room, although some devices have been approved by the NSA for limited secure use.
Others criticized the White House for launching the attack on Iran from Trump’s Palm Beach club rather than from a secure room inside the White House.
‘The President has started a new war,’ wrote Atlantic writer Tom Nichols. ‘He should be in DC too’ [national security] ‘He was in the team and should have been on TV at the Oval last night and without his stupid grandad hat.’
Vice President J.D. Vance was not with Trump at Mar-a-Lago when the bombs fell on Iran. Vance was in the White House Situation Room with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Iran launched retaliatory strikes in the Middle East following the joint US-Israeli attack on Tehran on Saturday.
Tehran struck the Fifth Fleet service center in Manama, Bahrain, and claims to have hit bases in the region, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

The Iranians also use kamikaze drones to hit residential buildings and airports in the Middle East.
The number of deaths during the operation remains unclear at the moment.
However, CENTOM announced Sunday morning that three US soldiers have been killed so far in the operation.
