White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says the US is not yet sure how Pentagon documents detailing Israeli preparations for a retaliatory attack on Iran managed to be leaked into the public domain.
Kirby tells reporters during a press briefing the Defense Department is probing the leak, which has “deeply concerned” US President Joe Biden
“You can rest assured that [Biden] will be actively monitoring the progress of the investigative effort to figure out how this happened,” Kirby adds.
He says the US hasn’t received any indication that additional classified documents will be leaked and has been in communication with Israel on the matter.
