The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, confirmed this Sunday that they are investigating a “very worrying” leak of secret US documentation on possible Israeli retaliation plans against Iran after the missile attack on October 1.

“Coordination between the United States and Israel could also be compromised. Trust is a key component in the relationship and depending on how the leak occurred, it could be affected,” he added in statements to .
