US launches investigation into leak of Israeli attack

The United States has launched an investigation into the possible leak of classified documents relating to a planned Israeli attack on Iran that was discovered on Saturday. This is reported by AP.

The documents were first shared by an account identified as pro-Iran on Telegram, and are claimed alternately to have been leaked by the US intelligence service and the country's defense department.

The documents, which appear to be based entirely on analyzes of satellite images, show how Israel moved robots that could be used in a possible attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously promised to respond "vigorously" to the Iranian attack on Israel on October 1 this year.

Netanyahu in conversation with Trump: We make our own decisions

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has, in a phone conversation with US presidential candidate Donald Trump, repeated his message that Israel makes its own decisions, writes Reuters.

"Israel takes the issues the US government raises into consideration, but ultimately makes its decisions based on its own national interests," he is said to have said.

Earlier this week, Netanyahu's office made a similar statement. This after US media reports that Netanyahu promised President Joe Biden to pacify oil and nuclear energy targets in his planned revenge against Iran.
