Biden's Deep Concern: Classified US-Israel Documents Leak

President Biden expresses deep concern over the unauthorized release of classified documents detailing Israel's military plans against Iran. The US administration, uncertain of the cause of the leak, is investigating. The documents were shared among 'Five Eyes' countries and posted on Telegram.

President Joe Biden is reportedly 'deeply concerned' about the exposure of classified documents that discuss Israel's potential retaliatory strikes against Iran, a White House spokesman announced. The documents have raised alarms within the administration, compelling a thorough investigation into how they were publicly released.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby stated on Monday that the administration remains uncertain whether the exposure was due to a leak or hack. The Pentagon is actively investigating the incident, which has been confirmed to involve the US, along with its 'Five Eyes' intelligence-sharing partners.

Among the documents are credits to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, indicating Israel's ongoing preparations for a strike following Iran's ballistic missile attack in October. Classified as top secret, the materials had been shared internally and later surfaced on the Telegram messaging app.
