Leaked plans for Israel's retaliatory strike on Iran forced Israeli authorities to postpone the operation. This was reported by the British newspaper The Times, citing sources.
“The leak of US documents has delayed the attack due to the need to change certain elements of strategy and components,” said a source in the intelligence community. “There will be a response, but it will take longer than expected.”

Earlier it became known that the United States was conducting an investigation into the leak of highly classified documents with intelligence information about Israel's plans to retaliate against Iran. Documents classified as “top secret”, dated October 15 and 16, began to circulate on the Internet after their publication in the Middle East Spectator Telegram channel. Judging by the information in the documents, only countries members of the Five Eyes alliance, which includes Australia, Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, were supposed to have access to them.
On the evening of October 1, Iran launched a massive missile attack on Israel in response to the killings of key figures in the leadership of the Palestinian Hamas movement, the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Tehran said 90% of the missiles successfully hit their intended targets, but Israel says Iran launched about 180 missiles and most were intercepted. The Israeli General Staff promised to respond to the attack.
For his part, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that his country's retaliatory strikes against Israel would be even more widespread in this case.
