A leak of classified documents has occurred, detailing Israel's preparations for a potential retaliatory strike against Iran. Donald Trump has blamed this incident on the administration of President Joe Biden, according to The Times of Israel.

The former US president and current Republican candidate for the presidency called the event a bad thing.

"Can you imagine somebody doing that? That’s the enemy. I guess that maybe it is the enemy from within. We just can’t stand for this incompetence anymore," the Republican stated.

Meanwhile, the FBI announced on Tuesday that it is investigating the unauthorized publication of these documents.
