币界网报道:According to CNN, an Israeli official said that Israel conducted a so-called "deception operation" a few days before launching an unprecedented attack, aiming to convince Iranian leaders and the Israeli public that there would be no attack. The official said the operation included "deception" of the media and political commentators, "therefore successfully surprising Iran." They said the plan had only "a few secret partners," and that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's office issued announcements and briefings aimed at influencing Iranian and Israeli discourse. Despite the obvious actions, U.S. intelligence agencies warned that Israel was about to launch an attack.
