US Can NO Longer be Trusted With Israeli Intel ...US docs show Israel preparations for airstrike in Iran and leaked online

 

US intelligence documents showing Israeli military preparations for a looming strike on Iran were leaked online, according to reports.

Federal intelligence officials confirm the authenticity of the top secret documents that were leaked by Telegram user “Middle_East_Spectator.”

There is an active investigation into who had access to the alleged Pentagon document, according to CNN.

The document is marked top secret and is only meant to be seen by those with proper clearance in the US and the “Five Eyes” – Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

The documents describe military preparations by Israel – including the amount of various kinds of missiles – at Ramat David Airfield on the dates of October 15th and October 16th.

There are multiple agencies compelled to conduct investigations into leaked intelligence reports – including the FBI and the Pentagon, CNN reports. 

This leak comes as the region waits with bated breath for Israel to respond to the October 1st missile barrage Iran launched into the country.

“If it is true that Israeli tactical plans to respond to Iran’s attack on October 1st have been leaked, it is a serious breach,” Mick Mulroy, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East told CNN.

“Trust is a key component in [the US-Israel] relationship, and depending on how this was leaked that trust could be eroded,” Mulroy added.

In a statement posted to X, Middle East Spectator wrote, “We have no connection to the original leaker, and we are not aware of his identity. We also have no knowledge on the authenticity of the documents.

“Furthermore, we assumed that the documents had been floating around elsewhere on Telegram, making them a part of the public domain.”

The Middle East Spectator statement added the self-proclaimed “open-source news aggregator” was “not aware of any additional leaked classified US documents.”

Earlier Saturday, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu’s vacation house was struck with an explosive drone that launched from Lebanon in an apparent assassination attempt. Netanyahu was not at that residence at the time of the attempt.
