House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed deep concern over the recent leak of highly classified US intelligence regarding Israel's plans for retaliating against Iran. Johnson stated that the leak is a serious matter and that an investigation is currently underway. He mentioned that he will be receiving a classified briefing on the issue later today.
Johnson revealed that he had a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to offer his support and encouragement. However, he emphasized that it is not his place to dictate Israel's response to Iran's recent attack.
The leaked documents, marked as top secret and intended only for the US and its 'Five Eyes' allies, have caused significant alarm. The materials began circulating online last Friday, and their authenticity has been confirmed by a reliable source.
Given the sensitive nature of the leaked information, the US government has initiated an investigation into the breach. The incident has heightened tensions in the Middle East, particularly as Israel contemplates its response to Iran's recent missile attack.
As the situation continues to unfold, Johnson assured that he and other officials are closely monitoring developments and taking appropriate actions to address the leak and its implications.
