Some documents were leaked on the Telegram messaging app on Friday, detailing an alleged US assessment of Israel’s plans to attack Iran.
This assessment is based on satellite images and other information.
The United States is now investigating how these highly classified documents were leaked online.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday that US President Joe Biden is deeply concerned about the leak.
Kirby said authorities don’t know for sure whether the documents were leaked or hacked.
In fact, for three weeks, Israel has promised a strong attack against Iran. On October 1, Iran fired hundreds of missiles at Israel. Since then, Israel has warned of severe measures against Iran.
Iran carried out these attacks to avenge the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli attack on September 27.
Military analysts say the way the words are used in the titles of the documents suggests they are genuine. These words are also used in previous secret documents.
In these documents it is written “top secret”. It also says “FGI” which stands for “Foreign Government Intelligence”.
It seems that these documents were also distributed among the countries of the Five Eyes alliance. The alliance includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with whom intelligence is exchanged regularly.
Some words also have abbreviations. Like “TK” which means “talent lock”.
This word is used in satellite signals intelligence (SIGINT) and image intelligence (IMINT).
These two secret documents contain details of Israel’s preparations to attack Iranian targets.
The United States has made this assessment. The assessment is based on an analysis of intelligence data from October 15 and 16 by the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
It mainly refers to two things. Refers to two air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM) systems: Golden Horizon and Stone.
Rox is a long-range missile system developed by the Israeli company Rafael and designed to attack various ground and surface targets.
The golden horizon is probably a reference to the Blue Sparrow missile system, which has a range of up to 2,000 km.
The leak of the document is considered significant because it suggests that Israel is preparing to launch another ALBM (air-launched ballistic missile) attack.
Israel carried out a similar attack in April near Isfahan. The attack that Israel was preparing for could have been bigger than this.
Israel planned to attack with long-range weapons. This allowed it to attack from far away from the Iranian border. This type of attack would prevent Iranian planes from flying over countries like Jordan.
However, there is no indication in the document whether Iran plans to activate its nuclear deterrent.
At Israel’s request, the United States will never publicly admit that its friend has nuclear weapons. Therefore, this leak has created an embarrassing situation for America.
Interestingly, these documents contain no information about when and against what targets to attack Iran.
While the United States has not hidden the fact that it opposes the attack on Iran’s nuclear research institutes and oil facilities.
This means that now only the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its allied militia remain against whom Israel can attack.
Both of them are the backbone of Iran’s military power. They show their military power outside of Iran. They are also involved in suppressing internal protests.
As for the timing of the attack, many believe that Israel had already begun to act.
Even in April, when Israel carried out airstrikes on embassies in Damascus and killed some of Iran’s top IRGC officers, Iran waited 12 days to retaliate.
If Israel is waiting for a response this time, US concern may be one of the reasons. The United States is worried that tensions will not rise further as the US presidential election is less than a month away.
maybe yes This leak may have been made by someone who wanted to thwart Israel’s plan.
Iran has very good cyber warfare technology, so this is possible.
