Israel Confused Why The Pentagon LEAKED Info On Iran Attack

Israeli authorities have reported they are unclear why the Pentagon leaked information regarding Israel’s attack on Iran to the American media.

In a statement moments after the attack, Israeli governmental sources told the Jeuselom post, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Israel retaliated where they were attacked.”

The source, however, was unsure why the U.S. DoD leaked the plans of Israel’s attack after it occurred and believed the leak would leave Iran with no choice but to retaliate to not be seen as weak.

Israel reportedly warned the U.S. of the attack 48 hours before it took place.

Israeli official security and governmental sources told The Jerusalem Post on Friday: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Israel retaliated where they were attacked.”

Check out what The Jerusalem Post reported:

Israeli official security and governmental sources told The Jerusalem Post on Friday: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Israel retaliated where they were attacked.”
That said, officially, Israel will not accept responsibility for this attack for strategic reasons. Sources explain that the Iranians claim it was an “explosion at a factory” because they wish to avoid escalation. Israeli sources told the Post that it’s unclear why the Pentagon disclosed to the American media that Israel was involved; they could have remained silent, they say. They could have preserved Iran’s dignity and avoided escalating the situation on their own.

At the Kirya base in Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the entire security and diplomatic leadership have been present for 24 hours, coordinating with regional partners in Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

That said, Israel does not yet accept responsibility.
In recent hours, countries in the region have conveyed messages to Israel that if Iran attacks, they are here to help.

A senior US official also confirmed this on Friday morning of the attack, stating that “We were not surprised,” while also telling Walla that Israel informed the US in advance of the strike.

A Bloomberg report said that Israeli officials notified the US on Thursday that they planned to launch a strike in the next 24-48 hours.
