If it's true, I bet I know which HAM operator sent the message , It doesn't take a genius to figure it out either.

They know who had the list and have the intelligence assets to figure it out for sure, if true.

This is obvious fake news.
If it were true, then they would have kept the supposed planned strike on the downlow and just selected new targets.... The gullibility of people is astonishing.

If true, what ally nation would leak it?
If we knew what allies had the list of targets, we could narrow it down.
Without a doubt, Israel and probably Saudi Arabia, being that they are in the region.
Western allies....The UK for sure knew and who else?

If true, the Iranians would already know what other possible targets there would be, and act accordingly.
The Iranians got intelligence about a coming US attack on the IRGC in Syria. Following this, the Iranian military contingent located in the eastern part of the country was placed on high alert, including the air defense systems, which, as it turned out, are located in the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. — Google translate of Avia.Pro reporting
The cyberattacks — a contingency plan developed over weeks amid escalating tensions — disabled Iranian computer systems that controlled its rocket and missile launchers, the officials said. Two of the officials said the attacks, which specifically targeted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps computer system, were provided as options after Iranian forces blew up two oil tankers earlier this month.
The IRGC, which was designated a foreign terrorist group by the Trump administration earlier this year, is a branch of the Iranian military.

This would not be his first military strike. Not sure why you would think that.
doesn't have what it takes to give the nod for a military strike...

Interesting. I wonder if a civilian contractor working at whatever base us troops are using got the word out to the Iranians. Just takes someone working in a kitchen or laundry to overhear something...
