"Middle East Spectator is a pro-regime Telegram outlet based in Tehran, as all media channels based in Tehran are – by law."
Is there a significant media channel anywhere that isn't 'pro-regime' towards the government they work under? If so I'm not aware of it.
The government of each country creates the laws that media organizations must work under. All media organizations support the government of their respective countries. If they don't, then they are subversive and will be marginalized, curtailed or prosecuted.
The myth in the Collective West is that we have a free media and that it can even oppose the government. That's nonsense. Western media may oppose a specific government policy, or even a political party. But Western media is utterly beholden to the government apparatus it works under, and it will fall in line every time the government snaps its fingers.
Because whoever happens to be in the White House has to supply the IDF with various essentials in the event of any conflict lasting more than a few weeks, as is the case. Also Biden admin being 'palpably hostile' is an exaggeration - we've seen a repeating pattern of mild verbal rebukes for some of the most serious and frankly deliberate damage to civilians (Israeli gov not shy about the paradigm of vengeance strikes, like it or not). Occasional verbal hesitation out of Washington is accompanied by no material change to the overall full-support policy and US, including critically diplomatic support, for practically anything Israel does - and this is despite the staggering consequences for US geopolitical position of losing probably a dozen countries in the Islamic world, and not small ones -- this pretty well wipes out any US ambitions to counter PRC in both Eurasian heartland (the "Stans"), in SE Asia too (ie Indonesia), and Pakistan's US friendly elites are hanging on by a thread - or if you like one step from hanging from the lampposts instead. Israel is in the short term blessed (and on a longer timeline, cursed) by deep bipartisan support in Washington with very little holding it back apart as far as the Western sponsors are concerned.
Remembering the very very severe penalty dished out to Jonathan Pollard (who revealed to Israel that US was not working in the country's best interest and did nothing to harm US interests) of 30 years in a Max prison, if any when the culprits of this leak are found (doubtful me think as just too embarrassing and maybe too highly placed in the administration) can we expect the exact same sentence?
"At minimum, the Israelis will have the opinion that US intelligence is unreliable and penetrated"
Hmm... hard to believe when Maher Bitar, formerly on the national board of Students for Justice in Palestine is currently Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council, Hady Amr, vocal supporter of suicide bombings in the Second Intifada is currently a senior official in the State Dept, Robert Malley, Phillip Gordon and Arriane Tabatabai, of the Iran Experts Initiative from Iran's Foreign Ministry, had senior positions at State and Defense. [Malley was forced to leave his post but otherwise has not been sanctioned.]
It should not require Mossad-level proficiency in intelligence to figure out that the US government has been penetrated at senior levels by Iran's allies. Leaks on this scale should have been expected.
The commentaries are full of juices. IMHO, Jonathan Pollard ought to have been shot. I suspect this leak is the only correct diplomatic action in 4 years of Biden admin.
Why would striking Netanyahu's home require scene matching? It would seem navigating a preplanned route based on GPS/Glosnass would have been just as effective.
Why would the US be ignorant of Israel's nuclear weapons with France having sold them the reactors and processing equipment to provide plutonium for them?
I wonder if the whole thing is a charade. Ranging from a total fabrication by someone, including a felt need for Kabuki theater responses by the involved parties (because why not put the now public *leak* to good use)
From that, all the way to it being simply a detailed war game by a third party with an interest in how it would proceed. Maybe just an intelligence agency sending a signal to the rest of the community like....Hey, you guys think we geospatial types just take orders for where and when your satellite access is provided but we can speculate with the best of them. Next time we tell you we are busy and put your sat access request on hold you might consider that we know what we are doing and stop bitching...........
Or it could even be that there are traitors everywhere on both sides doing who knows what for unknown reasons except to cause damage with no apparent comprehensible purpose.
Refueling tankers were mentioned in the article. Mentioned indicating that the initial report was complete with details about which ones were supposed to be used.
Слишком "сенсационно", чтобы можно было поверить в эту чушь с "утечками" . Иранцы ,наверное , уже снимают юмористический сериал "по мотивам" ответа Израиля на налет 1 октября , "Вечера на хуторе близ Тель-Авива" ?!
США ,похоже , увлеклись когнитивными войнами и, потеряли связь с реальностью ?! Всë - таки , победа достигается не - словоблудием,не - уничтожением населения ,не - запугиванием ,не - "пакетами санкций" . Иран - готов к войне , Израиль - "начал о чем-то догадываться"...

You read too much propaganda
Israel jams gps
Why would the Israelis share this kind of detailed plan with a palpably hostile Biden administration?

No. It will be from a protected source aka any DEM…smh

On the leak: "We tried several times telling you privately but you ignored us, so now we're going public."
more like "Pretty please, wait until after the election! You wouldn't want Trump to win, right? right? ..."

The CIA diverted plutonium from the Cimarron plant to Israel in the late sixties and early seventies.

This is all good news. No one wants a world war. It also looks like the Biden administration doesn't want one either.

I would suppose F-35 doesn't have the range to be useful.

Nothing really serious cannot be done without US help
It was not a US government action?
Best way to block Israel?
A leak?
Left hand vs right hand?
