The U.S is investigating a leak of highly classified U.S. intelligence about Israel鈥檚 plans for retaliation against Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. One of the people familiar confirmed the documents鈥 authenticity.
The leak is 鈥渄eeply concerning,鈥 a U.S. official told CNN.
The documents, dated Oct, 15 and 16, began circulating online Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called 鈥淢iddle East Spectator.鈥
They are marked top secret and have markings indicating they are meant to be seen only by the U.S. and its 鈥淔ive Eyes鈥 allies 鈥 Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
They describe preparations Israel appears to be making for a strike against Iran. One of the documents, which says it was compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, says the plans involve Israel moving munitions around.
Another document says it is sourced to the National Security Agency and outlines Israeli air force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, also believed to be in preparation for a strike on Iran. CNN is not quoting directly from or showing the documents.
A U.S. official said the investigation is examining who had access to the alleged Pentagon document. Any such leak would automatically trigger an investigation by the FBI alongside the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies. The FBI declined to comment.
The leak comes at an extremely sensitive moment in U.S.-Israeli relations and is bound to anger the Israelis, who have been preparing to strike Iran in response to Iran鈥檚 missile barrage on Oct. 1.
鈥淚f it is true that Israeli tactical plans to respond to Iran鈥檚 attack on Oct. 1 have been leaked, it is a serious breach,鈥 said Mick Mulroy, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East and a retired CIA officer.
Mulroy added that 鈥渢he future coordination between the U.S. and Israel could be challenged as well. Trust is a key component in the relationship, and depending on how this was leaked that trust could be eroded.鈥
The National Security Council referred CNN to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Pentagon for comment. The Pentagon and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency declined to comment. CNN has reached out to the National Security Agency for comment.
Another U.S. official said that 鈥渢hese two documents are bad, but not horrible. The concern is if there are more.鈥
