Israel has reportedly delayed plans to strike back at Iran after U.S. intelligence on the country’s military preparations and capabilities were leaked to the Iranians.
The intelligence leak has ‘forced’ Israel to put aside plans for a military response to Tehran’s recent missile attack, The Times of London reported Thursday. “Israel has delayed its retaliatory strike against Iran because of a leak last week of potentially sensitive military information from the US,” the British newspaper said.
Last week, highly classified U.S. documents on a possible Israeli counter-strike against Iran appeared on Tehran-affiliated social media channels. Documents showed U.S. satellite imagery and intelligence assessment on an impending Israeli military retaliation to the October 1 Iranian missile strike.
The Times of London reports:
The leak revealed Israel’s well-advanced plans to respond to a salvo of nearly 200 Iranian ballistic missiles fired against it earlier this month, which was a retaliation by Tehran for Israel’s attacks on its Middle Eastern proxy groups.
The top-secret document was published on a pro-Iranian Telegram channel last Friday and appeared to be a US assessment of Israel’s likely response, based on satellite imagery and other intelligence.
Israel has been holding military drills for a major ballistic missile attack on Iran, according to American satellite intelligence documents that have been leaked to pro-Iranian social media accounts.
The exercises involved at least 16 airborne missiles, 40 state-of-the-art “Rocks” missiles and refuelling tankers, indicating targets across the country.
