We are thrilled to announce that Warren Strobel and Isaac Stanley-Becker are joining the National Security team as intelligence reporters, applying their rigor and scrupulous reporting to our coverage of the often-clandestine world of threat analysis, operations and intelligence gathering.
The additions of two distinguished journalists to our coverage of the CIA, NSA, ODNI and other organizations that make up the U.S. intelligence community underscore The Post’s investment in national security reporting as the second Trump administration begins.
Warren Strobel joins The Post from the Wall Street Journal and is a veteran intelligence reporter with deep experience, robust sourcing and a record of big scoops. He has covered American foreign policy, national security and intelligence agencies for 35 years, in Washington and overseas. He has travelled with seven secretaries of state; reported from nearly 100 countries; and deployed to war zones and other hostile environments, including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Niger and the Palestinian territories.
At the Journal, where he has worked since 2018, Warren was the first to obtain and report on the highly classified CIA assessment of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s role in the murder of Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi. He also broke news of a Chinese military site being covertly constructed in the United Arab Emirates. His recent reporting has focused on Chinese espionage and military expansion, the origins of the covid virus and the difficulties of human spying in the age of digital surveillance.
