The leak is “deeply troubling,” he told the CNN American official. The documents, dated October 15 and 16, began circulating online on Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called “Middle East Spectator.”
They are classified as top secret and have markings indicating that they are meant to be seen only by the US and its ‘Five Eyes’ allies – Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. They describe the preparations Israel appears to be making for a strike against Iran. One of the documents, which it says was compiled by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, says the plans include moving munitions from Israel.
Another document says it comes from the National Security Agency and describes Israeli air force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, also believed to be preparing a strike on Iran. A US official says the investigation is looking into who had access to the alleged Pentagon document. Any such leak would automatically trigger an FBI investigation alongside the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies. The FBI declined to comment.
