Did the U.S. spy on Israel? “Leaked documents” appear to show that the U.S. spied on the Israeli Air Force to determine their plans to attack Iran.
This feels off. First off, Israel is an ally of the U.S. and does as Israel commands. I would be surprised if the U.S. could authorize a breakfast service without Israel’s permission.
The U.S. has publicly supported an attack on Iran while asking Israel to show restraint. Perhaps this “leak” is the U.S. way of pretending they are not in on whatever is planned? That also is hard to believe.
The leak cites imagery analysis, saying that Israel’s air force “continued air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM) handling, covert UAV operations, and conducted a second large-force employment (LFE)” between Oct. 15 and Oct. 16.
The leaked documents also show that Israel has nuclear weapons. This is the biggest “No Duh” in politics. Of course Israel has nuclear weapons and the U.S. likes to pretend that they don’t. They’ve had them since the 1960’s.
Meanwhile, Israel continues its ground invasion of Lebanon. Axios has reported that the U.S. allow the IDF to freely operate in southern Lebanon as a condition to ending the war there.
