Biden ‘deeply concerned’ by release of documents on possible Israel attack plans

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is “deeply concerned” about the release of classified documents about Israel’s preparation for a possible retaliatory attack on Iran, according to a White House spokesperson.

U.S. officials confirmed Saturday that the administration is investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents assessing Israel’s plans to attack Iran.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Monday that the administration was still unsure whether publicly disclosed classified information had been leaked or hacked.

Kirby added that administration officials “have no indication at this point that there is any expectation that more documents like this will end up in the public domain.”
