The Pentagon and the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence have refused to comment on the authenticity of leaked intelligence documents, though they did not deny it. The documents, which appeared on an Iran-affiliated Telegram channel, have been confirmed as authentic by CNN and are marked top secret. They also bear markings indicating they are intended only for the Five Eyes intelligence alliance. The leak, cited as coming from a source in the American intelligence, suggests the U.S. faces another serious breach of classified information.
