Senior American officials voiced serious concern on Saturday following the leak of two US intelligence documents allegedly outlining Israel’s preparations for a potential strike on Iran. These documents were published by a Telegram account linked to Iran.
While both the US Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents, they did not deny their authenticity.
The timing of the leak comes as Israel is completing preparations for a retaliatory strike on Iran in response to the October 1 missile attack. An unnamed senior Israeli official remarked, “Israel’s defense establishment is aware of the leak and takes it very seriously.”
The leak occurred on Friday when the Middle East Spectator Telegram channel claimed it had received documents about Israel’s strike preparations from a source within the US intelligence community. This Telegram channel is known for publishing pro-Iranian propaganda, and its associated Twitter account states that its operators are based in Iran.
The documents included an alleged report from the US Department of Defense's visual intelligence agency, which had been circulated within the US intelligence community three days earlier. The report detailed alleged recent actions at Israel Air Force (IAF) bases, including the movement of advanced munitions believed to be intended for a strike on Iran. The report also noted that intelligence obtained through wiretaps indicated that the IAF conducted an exercise this week involving fighter jets and drones as part of its strike preparations.
A breach in security
The leaked documents reportedly revealed close surveillance by US intelligence on Israel’s preparations for a strike on Iran, including the use of satellites to monitor activities at Israeli Air Force bases. The alleged leak also highlights a severe security breach within the US intelligence community, allowing highly classified information to reach entities affiliated with Iran.
American officials described the incident as "extremely serious" but noted that, in their view, the leak is unlikely to affect Israel’s operational plans.

Which is why there is no way that Israel should share its plans of attack with America. Just imagine that if America was advised by Israel about the exploding devices, years of preparation and expense would probably have gone down the drain. This article points out the reason why Israel sharing battle plans with America is a big mistake, but any other intelligence is and should be shared.
If the US doesn’t have access to Israeli plans why should we supply weapons munitions and other forms of support to Israel?
As I said, Israel DOES share intelligence with the USA, but this leak is a reason why for certain surprise operations, Israel should not share secret battle plans with ANYONE. I gave an example in my first comment why it could have been a disaster for Israel had their plan been leaked.
Answering your question, Israel is America's SOLE genuine ally in the Middle East, and as you well know there are players in the Middle East that would love to 9/11 your whole nation, but Israel has not only provided America with invaluable intelligence that no other nation is capable of obtaining, and as Alexander Haig had said, Israel is like America having its biggest aircraft carrier in the middle of the Middle East without needing one soldier on board.
You want to deprive Israel of its weapons? Go ahead and see how long it will take for its enemies to see their fondest dreams and desires come true and actually accomplish "From the river to the sea" without a Jew to be left. And then, next stop, YOUR country. Be my guest.
This article is causing too many problems and I didn't post it for the purpose of starting a cross-the-aisle political fight, so fuck it, I'm locking it. My reason for posting it and opinions stand. Let those who stand for Israel be the winners, and those who don't get what they deserve.
