Israel has delayed its planned retaliatory strike against Iran following the leak of highly classified U.S. military documents, according to reports by The Times. The leaked documents, dated October 15 and 16, were published on a pro-Iranian Telegram channel last Friday and are believed to include a U.S. assessment of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strike plans. Israeli officials are concerned that the disclosure of sensitive information could help Iran anticipate certain patterns of attack, necessitating a revision of their strategies and development of an alternative plan. The postponement aims to ensure operational security and effectiveness in response to Tehran's missile attack.
