These sensitive documents, attributed to both the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, indicate that Israel has been mobilizing its military assets in preparation for a strike following Iran’s aggressive ballistic missile assault on October 1. Such information was sharable among the “Five Eyes,” which consists of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

Marked with top-secret classifications, these documents were disseminated via the Telegram messaging application last week and were first reported by CNN and Axios. On Sunday, The Associated Press broke news regarding this U.S. investigation into what is being described as an unauthorized release of critical intelligence information based on insights from three U.S. officials. A fourth official—who requested anonymity—suggested that these documents appear legitimate.

House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed this ongoing investigation during his appearance on CNN.

“The leak is very concerning. There’s some serious allegations being made; there’s an investigation underway, and I’ll get a briefing on that in a couple of hours,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson.

He further noted,

“There’s a classified level briefing and then another. But we’re following it closely,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The inquiry also delves into how these sensitive documents were obtained—exploring whether they resulted from an intentional breach by someone within the U.S intelligence community or through alternative means such as hacking—and whether any additional intelligence has been compromised according to one official who spoke with AP News while remaining unnamed.

Officials are diligently working to ascertain who had access to these materials prior to their public dissemination online last Friday via Telegram channels claiming affiliation with individuals within America’s intelligence apparatus before later connecting them back to entities within the Defense Department itself; evidently based entirely upon satellite imagery analysis rather than human sources or informants.
