A recent leak of classified U.S. intelligence documents has shed light on Israel’s potential plans for a strike on Iran in response to a ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1. The leaked documents, dated Oct. 15 and 16, were shared on Telegram by Middle East Spectator, allegedly from a U.S. intelligence source.
One document from the Defense Department’s National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency suggests Israel is relocating munitions, with the Israeli Air Force conducting operations related to ballistic missiles. Another document from the National Security Agency outlines Israeli air force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, potentially for a strike on Iran.
The leak has prompted a U.S. investigation, causing concern among officials. The potential disruption of Israeli plans has been suggested by some sources, while U.S. President Joe Biden has acknowledged knowledge of Israel’s planned attack on Iran.
As tensions escalate between Israel and Iran following recent attacks, the situation remains volatile. The leaked documents have put the spotlight on the delicate balance of power in the region, with potential consequences that could impact the global geopolitical landscape.
