Israel Delayed Iran Attack After Biden Admin Leaked Intel

The documents contained satellite imagery and other intelligence such as the types of aircraft and munitions to be used in a potential attack.

Israel has had to rethink its strategy as the leak likely aided Iran in being able to predict a consistent Israeli strategy and has forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Israeli Defense Force to develop alternative plans.

"The leak of the American documents delayed the attack due to the need to change certain strategies and components," an intelligence source with knowledge of Israeli deliberations told The Times. "There will be a retaliation, but it has taken longer than it was supposed to take."
