<p>Arab rulers secretly lobbied America to launch air strikes to destroy Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme according to leaked US diplomatic cables, it was reported.</p>
<p>Details from 250,000 leaked documents obtained by the WikiLeaks whistleblowers website were published by a number of newspapers which had been given advance sight of the material, including The Guardian.</p>
<p>The Guardian said it would be publishing details later in the week of cables relating to the UK &#8211; including allegations of &#8220;inappropriate behaviour&#8221; by a member of the Royal Family which was said to have &#8220;startled&#8221; US diplomats.</p>
<p>The documents were also said to include &#8220;serious political criticism&#8221; of David Cameron and &#8220;devastating criticism&#8221; of British military operations in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Potentially most seriously of all for the UK, The Guardian said that the cables included requests for &#8220;specific intelligence&#8221; about British MPs.</p>
<p>Both the British and US governments strongly condemned the leaks while insisting that they would not damage relations between the two countries.</p>
<p>US officials have spent recent days frantically contacting friendly governments &#8211; including Britain &#8211; to brief them about the likely disclosures in the cables in an attempt to limit the diplomatic fall-out.</p>
<p>White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said that the disclosure of classified diplomatic communications on the front pages of newspapers around the world would &#8220;deeply impact&#8221; US foreign interests.</p>
<p>&#8220;To be clear &#8211; such disclosures put at risk our diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people around the world who come to the United States for assistance in promoting democracy and open government,&#8221; he said. &#8220;By releasing stolen and classified documents, WikiLeaks has put at risk not only the cause of human rights but also the lives and work of these individuals.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Foreign Office said that such leaks were &#8220;not in the national interest&#8221; and could damage national security. A spokesman added: &#8220;We have a very strong relationship with the US Government. That will continue.&#8221;</p>
