The FBI is investigating the leak of classified documents purported to highlight Israeli preparations for a strike against Iran following Iran’s second attack against Israel since April 2024. This incident has been widely reported but not widely understood in its importance.
In a statement Tuesday, the bureau said it is probing the disclosure and “working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.” They did not provide further details.
