Officials said it was impossible to measure precisely the success of the classified program, which has never been publicly acknowledged. But in the past month alone, two Iranian attempts to launch satellites have failed within minutes.
It goes without saying that "[a]ny prior restraint on expression comes to this Court with a "heavy presumption" against its constitutional validity." See New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713, 714 (1971) (the Pentagon Papers case). In Near v. Minnesota,283 U.S. 697, 716 (1931) the Supreme Court stated:

Revealing " a secret American program to sabotage Iran’s missiles and rockets" comes close to that line.
And I don't believe that officials should be free to make their own foreign and military policy either.
Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of Iran’s missile program, accused American and allied intelligence agencies of turning their campaigns of “infiltration and sabotage” to Iran’s missile complex from its atomic infrastructure.
And what is immoral against protecting a large chunk of the world from immolation? Doesn't nuclear freeze apply to Iran, or was it only moral when Andropov wanted it for the U.S.?

It's not up to the USA to judge which country can have weapons to defend itself. And I don't believe that even you believe your rhetoric. You just don't like Iran, because they don't like Israel.
They literally co-ordinated their press release with the government, including withholding some details. Yeah...not even near treason. From your article:

Government officials asked The Times to withhold some details of its reporting, mostly involving the identities of specific suppliers to the Iranian program, because the effort is continuing.

Oh hell, it's the NYT. Odds are the story isn't true in the first place, and if it is, they have been caught lying so many times no one believes them anyway. The NYT, the paper that cried wolf too often.
What details? It was sketchy at best. And likely full of misdirection, "leaking" info that is wrong to send the Iranians down the wrong path.
