The US is investigating a leak of highly classified documents with information about Israel's preparations for a potential strike on Iran. US news outlets Axios and CNN first reported the news about the classified documents that appeared on Telegram. The documents are attributed to the US Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency and note that Israel has been repositioning military assets after Iran's missile attack on October 1.
The top secret documents were only sharable among the so-called Five Eyes intelligence partners — the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The Pentagon acknowledged the leak in a statement but declined further comment. US officials are looking into how the documents were obtained.
There is no confirmation of the authenticity of the documents. If they prove to be true, it would signify a major intelligence breach. The leak comes at a time when US officials said they would redouble their efforts with mediators to push for a cease-fire deal in Gaza.
Israel's leadership has repeatedly stressed it will not let Iran's missile attack go unanswered. Netanyahu accuses Hezbollah of assassination attempt Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran-backed Hezbollah of trying to assassinate him. Netanyahu's office said a drone was launched toward his residence in the central town of Caesarea but he and his wife were not home at the time and there were no injuries.
