A US–Israel spy row: a real espionage threat, or pro-war pushback?
Reports say the Pentagon raised the threat level for Israeli espionage against the US to 'critical.' Some in Israel dismiss it as a leak meant to sabotage the Iran war; others treat it as a serious rupture between allies.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
Israeli officials and US sources sympathetic to them dismiss the leaked assessment as 'anti-Iran-war pushback' — an attempt by opponents of the war to smear a close ally.
Others report the Pentagon genuinely raised Israel's espionage threat to 'critical,' treating it as a serious sign of distrust and friction between Washington and an ostensible ally.
