Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib confirmed on Sunday that Iran has obtained a trove of documents concerning the Israeli regime’s nuclear facilities, which he said will enhance the country’s offensive capabilities, Press TV informs.
Khatib said the "comprehensive and complex" operation was carried out inside the occupied territories in transferring “strategic, operational, and scientific information” to the Islamic Republic.
He further stated that the transmission methods remain protected and will not be released anytime soon, but added that some of the documents would soon be made public.
The documents were acquired with the assistance of informants on the ground and transported to Iran under strict secrecy. The files will be partially released to the public in the coming days, as per reports.
Iran’s Intelligence Minister, Esmaeil Khatib, says the country managed to acquire thousands of sensitive and strategic documents from Israel through a complicated operation.
How were the secret documents acquired?
Although the operation to obtain the documents was conducted some time ago, the sources explained that the sheer volume of materials and the need to transport them securely into Iran necessitated a news blackout to ensure their safe arrival at designated protected locations.
They also noted that the vast quantity of documents, along with accompanying images and videos, has required an extensive amount of time to review.
Informed sources further revealed to IRIB that the arrest of Israeli settlers accused of providing services to Iran occurred only after the documents had already been safely transported out of the occupied Palestinian territories.
No specific details about the contents of the documents have been publicly disclosed.
The operation involved recruiting several Israeli settlers and resulted in the acquisition of thousands of documents, images, and videos concerning Israeli nuclear projects and facilities, including the Negev Nuclear Research Center (Dimona) and other critical sites.
The revelation comes less than three weeks after Israeli regime authorities announced the arrest of two men on suspicion of committing so-called "security crimes" on behalf of Iran.
According to a joint statement issued on May 20 by Israeli police and the Shin Bet agency, Roy Mizrahi and Almog Atias, two 25-year-old men from Nesher, were detained in late April on suspicion of conducting intelligence-gathering missions for Iran.
Israeli media confirm ‘major infiltration’ after Iran’s seizure of confidential docs.
What do the documents likely contain?
Although the content of the documents is still unpublished and shrouded in secrecy, certain elements can be deduced based on statements made by Iranian officials so far.
Iran's Intelligence Minister Khatib stressed that they are related to Israeli nuclear facilities, which certainly implies the Dimona facility, officially known as the Negev Nuclear Research Center, a nuclear installation located in the Negev Desert near the city of Dimona.
The Dimona facility is believed to house a plutonium-producing nuclear reactor, supplied by France in the late 1950s, and is likely involved in the production of nuclear weapons-grade material.
A 1986 leak by Mordechai Vanunu, a former technician at the facility, provided ample and clinching evidence of the secret Israeli nuclear weapons program, including photos of bomb components.
The documents obtained by Iran could provide deeper insight into this secret location, possible underground upgrades, structural features and device specifications, as well as thousands of other useful technical details, Press TV stresses.
