Purported leaked US intelligence docs appear to show Israel's plans for attack on Iran
If the posts prove authentic, it would signify a major intelligence breach.
Purported leaked US intelligence docs appear to show Israel's plans for attack on Iran
The documents posted on social media have markings that would indicate that they originated from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA).

Documents purported to show classified U.S. intelligence gathering on Israel's preparations for a potential retaliatory strike on Iran appeared on social media platforms this week. It is unclear what impact the potential leak may have on any Israeli military planning for a possible strike on Iran, or Israeli-American relations.
U.S. officials declined to provide comment when contacted by ABC News about the possible leak of highly-sensitive material.
ABC News could not independently verify the authenticity of the documents, which appear to show specific details about the types and number of munitions that Israel may be readying for a potentially large-scale strike on Iran in retaliation for the regime's late September barrage of almost 200 ballistic missiles aimed at Israel.

If the posts prove authentic, it would signify a major intelligence breach, one reminiscent of the massive leak discovered last year after hundreds of classified documents were shared on the Discord social media platform.
Earlier this year U.S. Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira pleaded guilty to six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information relating to the Discord leaks.
"If it is true that Israel tactical plans to respond to Iran's attack on October 1st have been leaked, it is a serious breach," said Mick Mulroy, an ABC News national security and defense contributor, who served as the deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East.
"Everyone that has access to this information has an obligation to keep it secure," said Mulroy. "The men and women of the IDF that would carry out this mission could be compromised because of this, the future coordination between the U.S. and Israel could be challenged as well."
"Trust is a key component in the relationship and depending on how this was leaked that trust could be eroded," he added.
Commentary:
This represents a major development effectively putting American troops directly in harm's way as Israel prepares to attack Iran.
Indeed,it is not the first leak! There has been little info about the suspension of the security clearance of Robert Malley but the implications are serious. For one thing, Malley's security suspension (?) coincided with the Hamas invasion and mass slaughter in Israel on October 7, one year ago.
It's long been my belief that our State Department is the biggest problem America has in keeping secrets and foregien policy.Why is it that Hillary, Kerry, Sullivan, Blinken, Hill and Nuland just to name a few have been so militant and involved in the failure of the Middle East and foreign policy of Obama and the Biden Harris administration.
Just another nail in the coffin of Democrat Neo-Marxist interference in the security of America.
