White House national security spokesman John Kirby says President Joe Biden is “deeply concerned" about the unauthorized release of classified documents on Israel’s preparation for a potential retaliatory attack on Iran
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is “deeply concerned” about the unauthorized release of classified documents on Israel's preparation for a potential retaliatory attack on Iran, a White House spokesman said Monday.
The Biden administration is still not certain if the classified information was leaked or hacked, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said. Officials don’t have any indication at this point of "additional documents like this finding their way into the public domain,” he said.
Kirby added that the Pentagon is investigating. U.S. officials on Saturday had confirmed an investigation by the administration.
“We’re deeply concerned, and the president remains deeply concerned about any leakage of classified information into the public domain. That is not supposed to happen, and it’s unacceptable when it does,” Kirby said.
