Roger L Simon Is Fact Checking The New Yorker
SO sources say:
In his latest New Yorker entry “Preparing the Battlefield” [in Iran] Seymour Hersh seems to be competing for a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the greatest numbers of anonymous sources in one article.

They are never identified.
