The US is investigating a leak of classified intelligence that reveals Israel’s plans for a potential military strike against Iran.

What’s the deal: The leaked documents posted on a pro-Iranian telegram account revealed highly classified US intelligence about Israel’s preparations for a potential military strike against Iran in response to an Iranian missile attack on October 1. These top-secret documents, intended only for the US and its “Five Eyes” allies, detailed Israel’s movement of munitions and Israeli air force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, both seen as preparations for the strike.

Additionally, the leak suggested that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, a capability Israel has never publicly confirmed, though the documents indicated that there were no signs of an intention to use them against Iran.

Digging deeper: The US has launched an investigation into the leak of these documents, with the FBI, Pentagon, and US intelligence agencies all involved in determining how the information became public. The Pentagon and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents and have not disputed their authenticity.

A senior Israeli official told the Axios news that the Pentagon took the leak seriously. The US official said that the leak, while extremely concerning, would not impact Israel’s plans for an attack against Iran.
