The FBI is currently investigating the leak of classified documents containing top secret U.S. intelligence regarding Israel's planned attack on Iran. The leak, which included sensitive information, has prompted a thorough investigation by the FBI in collaboration with the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
In an official statement, the FBI acknowledged the alleged leak and emphasized that the investigation is ongoing, refraining from providing further details at this time. The White House National Security spokesman, John Kirby, stated that it is unclear whether the unauthorized release of the documents resulted from a hack or an internal employee leak.
The leaked documents, marked as top secret, were reportedly shared on the Telegram messaging app last week. The documents were attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, highlighting Israel's preparations for a military strike in response to Iran's recent ballistic missile attack on October 1.
Notably, the leaked documents were designated as shareable within the 'Five Eyes' alliance, comprising the United States, Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. This incident has raised concerns about the security and confidentiality of classified information within this intelligence-sharing network.
