Leaked U.S. intelligence documents have reportedly exposed Israel’s plans to launch a retaliatory strike against Iran following a recent missile barrage. The documents, allegedly leaked in recent days, detail Israel’s preparations for the attack, raising concerns about a potential escalation of tensions in the region.
The leak has also sparked an investigation into how these highly classified documents, intended only for the eyes of the U.S. and a few close allies, were made public. Experts warn that this breach could damage trust and future cooperation between the U.S. and Israel.

According to the leaked documents, Israel is preparing to utilize surface-to-air missiles and airstrikes in its retaliation. The potential targets remain unclear, but the U.S. has previously expressed disapproval of any Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities or oil fields.
This revelation comes as Israel is already engaged in a multi-front conflict with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. The war began with Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel in October 2023, and has since drawn in other actors, including Iran, which launched a missile attack on Israel on October 1st.
The leak of these sensitive documents adds another layer of complexity to the already volatile situation in the Middle East, raising concerns about the potential for further escalation and wider regional conflict.
