American officials are trying to determine the source of the leak, which describes military drills and weapons placement, and how damaging it might be.

The leak of a pair of highly classified U.S. intelligence documents describing recent satellite images of Israeli military preparations for a potential strike on Iran offers a window into the intense American concerns about Israel’s plans. It also has U.S. officials working to understand the size of the improper disclosure.

The two documents were prepared in recent days by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which is responsible for analyzing images and information collected by American spy satellites. They began circulating on Friday on the Telegram app and were being discussed by largely pro-Iran accounts.

The documents, which offer interpretations of satellite imagery, provide insight into a potential strike by Israel on Iran in the coming days. Such a strike has been anticipated in retaliation for an Iranian assault earlier this month, which was itself a response to an Israeli attack.

You are mixed in it by proxy already. Without the support of the US Israel would not have gone as far as it has.

Leaks like this are intentional and put out there to give fair warning that they can see what your doing.

As its a US election year don't expect action until after November; when Biden either withdraws military support (most likely won't happen), punches the sanctions button super hard, or pushes for a major change in the dynamic in some way.

No matter the option the next president inherits a shitshow of a problem.
