According to a report by U.S.-based CNN, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Michael Kurilla was angered by a report showing soldiers using cell phones in the field.

Based on a report close to the issue, Cooper said the images, reportedly sent by soldiers via mobile phones during a recent military operation against Iran and shared online, may have helped U.S. targets in Iran become identifiable.
