Top-secret documents showing Israel’s plans to attack Iran were posted on the messaging app Telegram on Friday, prompting the US to investigate how that classified information got out. The reports, prepared by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, were posted on Telegram and on X by the pro-Iran site Middle East Spectator, which said it received them from an anonymous source. The investigation aims to find whether the documents were intentionally leaked by someone internal to the US intelligence community or if they were hacked, per the AP. House Speaker Mike Johnson called the intelligence breach “very concerning.”
