The documents, which appeared on the messaging app Telegram on Friday, contain an alleged US assessment of Israeli plans to attack Iran.

The assessment is based on interpretation of satellite imagery and other intelligence.

On Monday White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said President Joe Biden was "deeply concerned" about the leak.

Officials have not determined whether the documents were released due to a hack or a leak, Mr Kirby said.
