Secret documents of Israel have been leaked from America. The documents contained a plan to attack Iran. According to the report of CNN, America has also started an investigation in this matter.
CNN quoted an American official as saying it was posted on Telegram on Friday, October 18, by a channel called 'Middle East Spectator'. These documents are marked TOP SECRET and dated October 15 and 16. Leaking of such documents is a matter of concern for the US.
These documents are only for the US and its allies Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Britain. All these countries are part of the intelligence network Five Eyes.
Iran attacked Israel with 180 missiles on October 1. After this, Israel talked about retaliating.
Israel is preparing to attack Iran According to secret documents, Israel is preparing a major attack on Iran. According to one of these documents, Israel has begun trafficking weapons for the attack. This document has been prepared by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
Another document contains information related to Israeli air force exercises. It contains information related to tests of air-to-surface missiles. According to CNN, the exercises are believed to be part of preparations for an attack on Iran.
CNN quoted an American official as saying that an investigation is underway into how the public got access to the Pentagon's secret documents.
America's intelligence agencies, the FBI and the Pentagon have started an investigation into the matter.
US-Israel relations may be affected Former US Deputy Secretary of State Mick Mulroy said in this matter that if the information related to Israel's counterattack on Iran was actually leaked, it is a serious violation of the rules. This could have a negative impact on future relations between the US and Israel. Trust is a major foundation in the relationship between the two countries and this leak could undermine this trust.
Last year also some secret information was leaked from America. Due to this, tension arose between allied countries like America, South Korea and Ukraine. The documents were posted on social media by a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman.
Relations between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have soured since August of this year. So far there has been only one conversation between the two.
Whether hacked or intentionally leaked, is not yet clear Information about the leaked documents first surfaced on Saturday. It is not yet clear whether these documents were hacked or leaked by someone deliberately. The US is already on alert regarding hacking efforts being carried out by Iran.
Earlier, US intelligence agencies reported in August that Iran had hacked documents related to former US President Donald Trump's election campaign.
