Leaked Docs Reveal Israel's Secret Iran War Plans; US Involvement Exposed
Leaked documents have exposed Israel's secretive military preparations against Iran, including the existence of a stealth drone and US intelligence efforts to monitor Israel's activities. These revelations preceded a series of airstrikes that have claimed hundreds of lives.
In October 2024, a Telegram channel published leaks tracing back to a US intelligence source. These documents detailed Israel's extensive preparations for an attack on Iran. The leaks revealed the RA-01 stealth drone, an unknown asset in Israel's arsenal, capable of extended covert operations, surveillance, and combat.
The leaks also exposed US efforts to determine the shape of Israel's military preparations against Iran. This was primarily achieved through satellite imagery and signals intelligence. These indicators helped the US track Israel's military activities.
On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, practically declaring war on Iran. The US joined the conflict on June 22, striking three Iranian nuclear sites. Israel eventually struck Iran on October 26, 2024, in an operation dubbed 'Operation Days of Repentance'. This involved multiple locations across Iran being targeted with air-to-surface missiles, possibly fired from over 100 aircraft.
The decision not to publish these leaks earlier was likely influenced by the chilling effect resulting from Julian Assange's guilty plea to the Espionage Act. The alleged CIA leaker, Asif Rahman, was sentenced to three years in prison on June 11, 2025. In 2010, Wikileaks released a video called 'Collateral Murder', showing US troops killing Iraqi civilians in Baghdad, highlighting the potential consequences of such leaks.
The leaks have shed light on the covert military preparations and actions taken by Israel and the US against Iran. These operations have resulted in over 639 deaths, the majority of whom are civilians. The revelations underscore the importance of intelligence gathering and the potential impact of leaked information on international relations and conflict.
