Tehran now possesses intelligence enabling it to strike undisclosed Israeli nuclear sites should "Israel" attack Iranian nuclear infrastructure, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced on Monday.
The statement follows a report by Tasnim news agency on Saturday that Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence had obtained a substantial cache of confidential documents related to the Israeli nuclear sector.
According to the council, the intelligence includes precise information on previously unknown nuclear facilities operated by "Israel".
IRIB quoted the council as saying, "Today, access to this information... has allowed the warriors of Islam to give a clearly proportionate response to a possible attack by the Israeli regime on the country's [Iran's] nuclear facilities by immediately attacking its [Israel's] hidden nuclear facilities and to any kind of damage to the economic and military infrastructure [of Iran] depending on the type of aggression."
Iran acquired thousands of sensitive Israeli documents
Iran’s intelligence services have successfully obtained a vast trove of highly classified strategic documents and information tied to "Israel", well-informed sources told Al Mayadeen on Saturday.
The sources told Al Mayadeen that the data included "thousands of documents related to the Israeli occupation's projects and its nuclear facilities."
According to the sources, the operation took place some time ago, but the enormous volume of documents and the need to safely transport the entire haul into Iran "required keeping the matter under secrecy."
"It has been confirmed that the entire cache of documents reached the designated secure location," the sources told Al Mayadeen, adding that "the volume of material is so vast that simply reviewing the documents, along with their accompanying photos and videos, would take an exceptionally long time."
This development comes amid a backdrop of tensions between Iran and "Israel", as the occupation continues to push for military action against Iran's nuclear capabilities, a move Tehran has warned against.
