An increasing focus by the US National Security Agency (NSA) on penetrating Israel’s secure communications network indicates the Biden administration’s fear that an Israeli strike on Iran could lead to a full-scale Middle East conflict, a Ynet article states.
The article refers to a recent report by Yediot Achranot that cites “knowledgeable sources” that the NSA has recently recruited dozens of Hebrew speakers. Additionally, the agency now employs about 250 wiretappers, monitors, analysts, linguists and translators of Israeli electronic communication traffic including telephone calls, digital messaging and coded transmissions.
The NSA’s growing penetration of Israel’s secure communications was confirmed by the recent leak of top-secret Pentagon documents, with some of the leaked documents detailing purported messages by senior Mossad officials.
According to the article, due to the increasingly likely prospect of Iran gaining nuclear power, the Biden administration understands that the chances of an Israeli preemptive strike on Iran are rapidly increasing.
Washington does not want to be dragged into a Middle East conflict and it is determined to have advance knowledge of any Israeli military preparations in order to convince Israel to change its mind.
Biden will follow in President Barack Obama’s footsteps of purporting that “diplomacy” is far better than becoming embroiled in a war.
When concocting the deal, Obama himself said: “Let’s not mince words. The choice we face is ultimately between diplomacy or some form of war. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not three months from now, but soon.”

That worked very well for Russia and Ukraine
Oh wait.
In the spirit of reciprocity, the article perhaps should have noted that Israeli spyware (Pegasus developed by NSO) had been successfully deployed against multiple government and NGO entities throughout the world. In some cases against terrorist organizations and enemies and in other cases against otherwise friendly targets.
Dorah,
In the spirit of truth, which your woke religion abhors, Israel’s very existence is now threatened by Iran. Now, Brainless Brandon is begging Iran to sign a worse nuclear deal than that of his puppet-master and trying to sabotage Israel’s plans to defend itself.
Perhaps you should seek help to control your twisted, mah-yafis nature.

Are you are (implicitly) equating a private corporation with a national government? That does not sound like “reciprocity”.
Agreed. I’m wondering if the “tech” that Israel is providing to some nations will benefit anyone. It’s just wrong and sounds quite evil. Who gave them the right to spy on us? One of the worse thing that ever happened to humanity was Swisscom setting up those antennas in Loeche and allowing the usa to spy on the entiere world!
georgeg,
The only reciprocity that Dorah cares about is when someone says something nasty about the high priest of his woke religion, Brainless Brandon, he feels an infantile compulsion to hit back. This mah-yafis could care less about Israel or the truth.
Because you voted Democrat
Because that demented alzheimer diseased TREASONOUS America hating DemonRat hair sniffing pervert, considers Israel an enemy, while Iran is considered an ally and friend.
