The channel for the Middle East Spectator, which describes itself as an “open-source news aggregator” independent of any government, said in a statement that it had “received, through an anonymous source on Telegram who refused to identify himself, two highly classified US intelligence documents, regarding preparations by the Zionist regime for an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
The Middle East Spectator said in its posted statement that it could not verify the authenticity of the documents.
No US or Israeli officials have publicly commented on the possible leak. Axios reported that intelligence officials declined to comment but did not dispute the veracity of the documents.
Spokespersons for the US Department of Defence did not immediately respond to a request for comment made by Business Insider.
