The FBI is Investigating Alleged Leak of Israel War Plan Documents

Top-secret documents surfaced on Telegram

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced Tuesday that it is investigating an alleged leak of highly classified U.S. intelligence documents, days after assessments containing information about Israel’s potential plans for a retaliatory attack on Iran were published on an Iran-linked Telegram account.

"The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community," the FBI said in a statement. "As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment."

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday that it is unclear whether the documents were made public through a leak or a hack. He said the government does not expect additional classified information to be made public without authorization.
