The FBI has initiated an investigation into a reported leak of highly classified documents detailing Israel’s military strategy regarding a potential attack on Iran.
The FBI issued the following statement: “The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment.”
John Kirby, the White House national security spokesman, explained, “We’re not exactly sure how these documents found their way into the public domain.”
The announcement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and scrutiny over national security protocols. Sources indicate that the leaked documents include assessments of Israel’s operational capabilities and strategies for a potential strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The implications of such a leak are significant, as it could affect not only Israeli military planning but also U.S. foreign policy in the region. National security experts express concern regarding the potential fallout from this breach. The sensitive nature of the information could place Israeli operatives at risk and complicate collaborative efforts between Israel and the United States in addressing Iranian nuclear threats.
The FBI has not disclosed specific details concerning the investigation’s progress or potential suspects.

Israel has been seriously damaged and compromised by this. Wartime strategy and data. Probably came from Defense Department. MUST FIND THE LEAKER! Israel no longer wants to share documents with U.S., and who can blame them!”
Former President Trump went on to add that finding the leaker should be a top priority because Israel “no longer wants to share documents with U.S.”
