A US government official has been charged for allegedly leaking classified documents appearing to show Israeli plans for a retaliatory attack on Iran.

Israel carried out air strikes on Iran in October, targeting military sites in several regions, in response to the barrage of missiles launched by Tehran weeks earlier.

Leaked classified documents are said to have contained the US's assessment of the plans ahead of the attack, as well as the movements of Israeli military assets in preparation.

The official, Asif Rahman, was arrested in Cambodia on Tuesday and brought to federal court in Guam to face charges, according to the indictment, seen by US media.
