Intelligence Ministry: Iran deals ‘crushing blow’ to Israel over secret documents
The ministry said in a statement that the “historic mission” —designed to access the regime’s most sensitive, strategic, and highly classified documents — was successfully concluded despite strict security measures put in place by the regime.
Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib said on Sunday that the country has obtained thousands of secret Israeli documents in an “extensive and complicated operation”.
Khatib called the documents a trove of “strategic, operational, and scientific information”.
The minister added that the documents are related to the regime’s nuclear facilities, its relations with the United States, Europe and some other countries as well as information that will help Iran enhance its offensive capabilities.
The ministry in its statement said that the documents hold strategic, practical, research, and scientific value. They contain a wide range of information, part of which are related to Israel’s “illegal and covert nuclear weapons programs” as well as ties with American and European institutions, covering the regime’s current and future nuclear plans.
The documents also include information about Israel’s military and missile programs, scientific and technical projects, as well as the names, profiles, photos and addresses of the managers, officials, and scientists involved in the projects.
The documents clearly reveal how the United States and certain European countries have played — and continue to play — a supporting role in advancing the weapons programs of the Israeli regime, while accusing Iran of pursuing non-peaceful activities, the ministry’s statement said.
The Chief Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said the Islamic Republic will be able to strike potential Israeli targets “more precisely” now after it managed to obtain the secret documents of the regime.
