Israel's masterplan to attack Iran leaked online: The documents, dated October 15 and 16, began circulating online on Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called “Middle East Spectator.”

The leak occurs at a particularly delicate time in US-Israel relations and is likely to infuriate Israel, which has been preparing to retaliate against Iran following a missile barrage on October 1.

While the papers are yet to be verified, US officials have not denied their authenticity after they circulated on social media.

The conversation came on the day a drone was launched at Mr Netanyahu's home in Caesarea, on the Israeli coast, in an apparent assassination attempt

Let’s just hope that Bibi was not as forthcoming about the details when he deposited this information in the hands of a man with on-set dementia.

Sir John Sawers said the situation will not change “a great deal”

Austin told Gallant he was relieved Prime Minister Netanyahu was safe after the attack that targeted his home in Caesarea earlier in the day.

"The fact that these attacks were carried out by an Iranian proxy—Hezbollah—does not absolve Lebanon of its responsibility. And it will not be absolved."

Israel has been planning a response after Iran launched almost 200 ballistic missiles on October 1, its second direct attack in six months.
