Classified Intel Leak Sparks U.S. Investigation Amid Israel-Iran Tensions

The United States is investigating a leak of highly classified intelligence documents detailing Israeli plans for a potential strike against Iran. House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed the ongoing probe during a Sunday interview, stating, 'We are following it closely.'

These documents, believed to be prepared by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, outline U.S. interpretations of Israeli military strategies, derived from satellite imagery. Circulated last week on the Telegram messaging platform, they describe Israel's responses to an Iranian missile assault from October 1.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Pentagon have yet to provide formal comments on the matter. While confirming the authenticity of the leaked documents, officials suggest they offer only a fragment of the full intelligence the U.S. holds regarding Israeli military actions.
