Israel Recalculates.. and Postpones its Response to Tehran

إسرائيل وإيران

International anticipation continues amid escalating mutual threats between Israel and Iran since the beginning of this month, following the Iranian missile attack, with growing fears of a regional war outbreak.

Informed sources highlighted Tel Aviv's postponement of its response to Tehran following the leak of secret American documents, published on Telegram accounts days ago, containing highly classified information from US intelligence and national security agencies, addressing ongoing Israeli military movements to respond to Iran, with support from the "Five Eyes" alliance.

The British "Times" newspaper quoted an informed intelligence source saying that the delay in Israel's response is due to the need to adjust some military strategies.

The US Department of Defense initiated an investigation into the leaks, where John Kirby, National Security Council spokesperson at the White House, expressed last Monday his country's deep concern about the breach of classified information, noting there were no indicators of additional documents being at risk.

American officials revealed expanding the investigation to include the mechanism of document leaks, the possibility of involvement of elements from the US intelligence system or electronic breach, and discussed the investigation path that includes identifying individuals authorized to access the documents before publication.

The leaked documents, attributed to US intelligence agencies, showed Israel's continued military preparations to respond to the Iranian missile attack on October 1st, with the support of "Five Eyes" alliance countries.

The top-secret classified documents spread via Telegram platform last Saturday, before being circulated by CNN and Axios networks, while these developments come at a sensitive time, with escalating tension in the region and increasing possibilities of a regional confrontation, as Israel continues its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
