Sensitive Israeli documents obtained by Tehran should be unveiled soon, Iranian Minister of Intelligence Esmail Khatib tells state TV, describing them as a “treasure trove” that will strengthen Iran’s offensive capabilities.
“The transfer of this treasure trove was time-consuming and required security measures. Naturally, the transfer methods will remain confidential but the documents should be unveiled soon,” Khatib says, adding that in terms of volume, “talking of thousands of documents would be an understatement.”
Khatib says the documents were related to Israel’s nuclear facilities and its relations with the United States, Europe and other countries, and to its defensive capabilities.
There is no immediate official comment from Israel.
Iranian state media reported on Saturday that Iranian intelligence agencies had obtained a large trove of sensitive Israeli documents. No evidence was provided to support the claims.
Semi-official Iranian media reported earlier that the intelligence was gathered and transferred by Roy Mizrahi and Almog Atias, two Israelis arrested by Israeli police in May on suspicion of collecting intelligence on behalf of Iran.
