A pair of highly classified US intelligence documents leaked on Telegram has exposed Israel’s detailed plans for an imminent missile strike on Iran, revealing preparations for a long-range retaliation in response to Iran’s recent missile attacks on Israel. The documents, believed to be authentic, outline the Israeli Air Force’s use of advanced Air Launched Ballistic Missile (ABLM) systems, including the Golden Horizon and Rocks missiles. These weapons allow Israel to strike Iranian targets from afar without needing to fly over regional airspace.
While the documents detail Israel’s missile systems and preparations, they notably omit specifics about the intended targets or the timing of the strike. However, military analysts suggest that Iranian military bases—especially those tied to the Revolutionary Guards—are likely to be hit, avoiding the nuclear and oil facilities that the US opposes targeting. The leak has sparked concerns in Washington, as the information suggests potential escalation, with the US presidential elections looming and tensions across the Middle East already high.
The origins of the leak remain unclear, but suspicions of a deliberate attempt to derail Israel’s plans are under investigation, raising questions about cyber-warfare and internal security between close allies. If Israel moves forward with the strike, the region is bracing for a period of heightened conflict.
