Leak to NYT of ‘core’ plans to strike Iran’s nuclear sites likely to harm US-Israel ties, security officials say
2025-04-19
Find the leak, guys. This kind of thing was common during the Biden administration, but now it is completely unacceptable.
[IsraelTimes] The leak to the New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

of details of a planned Israeli-American strike on Iranian nuclear facilities is likely to harm ties between Jerusalem and Washington, unnamed security bigshots tell Channel 12 news.

The massive joint attack, proposed by Israel, discussed with US officials, and intended for next month, was blocked by US President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...
, according to the report, with Trump instead opting for the negotiations with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
that began last weekend.

"The details that were leaked are dramatic, and [theleak is] likely to harm the intimate relations with the US Administration," the sources are quoted as saying.

"The core of the secret as regards Iran was revealed," the officials say, in reference to the planned attack, including "the method by which it would be carried out, the timing, coordination mechanisms, and the element of surprise."

"This constitutes real damage to Israeli interests in facing Iran."

Just reporting the General Details of the Battle plans contents, places the NYT in violation of 18 US. Code § 798 - Disclosure of classified information.. Some people (Editor and staff) could be looking at hefty $$$,$$$ fines, imprisonment up to 10 years, or both.
