A US intelligence document has been leaked on what kind of attack Israel could launch on Iran. This has made Washington uncomfortable.
US broadcaster CNN reported that the document was leaked by an Iran-related Telegram channel.
A US official told CNN on condition of anonymity that the document leak is very worrying.
The documents began to be published on a Telegram channel called ‘Middle East Statulator’ last Friday. The documents are marked top secret. The markings have been given in such a way that only the US and its five allies – Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK – can see them.
Analysis of the leaked documents shows that Israel is preparing to attack Iran. The documents also contain information on what kind of weapons Israel could use.
Another document says that the National Security Agency has collected information on the Israeli attack plan. It describes an Israeli air force exercise, including the firing of surface-to-air missiles. The exercise is essentially about how to carry out an air strike on Iran.
A US official said an investigation is underway into how the documents were leaked.
The documents detailing the Israeli attack plan were leaked at a time when Israel is saying it will respond to the Iranian attack on October 1.
