From the Wall Street Journal: The U.S. is investigating the leak of top-secret American documents that show Israel military preparations for an expected strike on Iran, U.S. officials said Sunday.
The two leaked reports were prepared last week by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which analyzes imagery gathered by American reconnaissance satellites and other intelligence.
Neither document indicates Israel’s potential targets, and one cautioned that the agency’s analysts “cannot definitely predict the scale and scope of a strike on Iran.”
The reports describe the types of aircraft and munitions the Israeli military is expected to use in an attack, which the documents say could come without additional warning.
To make the situation even worse, the documents may have fallen into Iranians’ hands, as a pro-Iran site, Middle East Spectator, says it received them from an anonymous source.
Jamil Jaffer, a former senior official in the Justice Department’s national-security division, warned that “the potential for further leaks of highly classified documents” is now a huge concern.
CNN and Axios first reported on the alarming leak, after the documents, dated Oct. 15 and 16 and marked as ‘top secret,’ were posted on Telegram Saturday by “Middle East Spectator.”
Shame on @KamalaHarris for not only threatening to hold a weapons embargo against Israel- but this is betrayal on a whole new level. This is why Democrat Jews are splitting the ticket across the nation and voting for Trump. #SaveAmericaVoteTrump🇺🇸 https://t.co/D5wN2ZuXNy

Yet another disgraceful betrayal of Israel by the Biden-Harris administration and it’s worth noting that a year and a half after their Iran Envoy Rob Malley was indefinitely suspended without pay for leaking classified information the same beat goes on: https://t.co/jPCQD1DA5b
