Iran has obtained a treasure trove of intelligence against "Israel", which reportedly includes sensitive information on "Israel's" nuclear activity, critical infrastructure, and schemes for the region.
According to what sources revealed, Tehran's operation, which retrieved large amounts of sensitive documents, constitutes a major security breach of "Israel", Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour, highlighted. Fallahpour added that more details will be revealed along with footage of the documents.

Al Mayadeen's Tehran correspondent noted that individuals who were arrested in Tel Aviv recently could be connected to the Iranian operation.
Coming weeks full of surprises
Fallahpour stated that Iran's revelation of these documents at this particular time carries significant meaning across several fronts, emphasizing that Tel Aviv was dealt the toughest security and intelligence blow in its history. He added that Iran has introduced a new stage in the intelligence war between Tehran and Tel Aviv.
Our Tehran correspondent highlighted that "the coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion," while noting that Tehran could have obtained documents related to its schemes for the region, not just its nuclear activities.
Seized documents extend beyond 'Israel's' nuclear arsenal
On his part, Mehdi Azizi, Director of the New Vision Center for Studies and Media, echoed Fallahpour's statement, telling Al Mayadeen that "there will be more surprises in the coming days regarding this achievement." Azizi said he expects the Iranian intelligence apparatus to unveil some of the obtained documents in the coming days.

The director told Al Mayadeen that the documents contain videos and precise information, and the documents, if published, will shock "Israel" and the entire globe. He affirmed that Iran obtained a vast amount of documents and that it would publish the information in line with a tactic that could go on for years.
The documents, according to him, are not limited to "Israel’s" nuclear reactors and nuclear facilities, as they possibly include information that exceeds intelligence or data related to military installations and military bases.
"This is more than just intelligence information," he asserted, speaking of the seized documents.
Breaking the Israeli illusion of invulnerability
On his part, strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid said that "Iran has conducted an offensive intelligence operation that has significant timing and geographical aspects." Abu Zaid noted that Iran has transformed the dynamics of the Iran-US nuclear talks, in light of the recent deadlock in the talks and the IAEA report published in May.
Nidal Abu Zaid, a strategic military expert, reveals to #AlMayadeen how #Iran’s multi-layered intelligence breach stripped “Israel” of its famed deterrence, exposing critical secrets beyond cyberattacks and resulting in turmoil in Israeli politics and security.

Abu Zaid told Al Mayadeen that Iran, with this operation, has neutralized "Israel's" military superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials.
He explained that typically, archives of such sensitivity would be protected by comprehensive security systems, yet Iran's intelligence apparatus appears to have found and exploited a critical gap. This sophisticated approach, Abu Zaid argued, hints at the possibility of a multi-layered operation, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents.
"This isn’t about backroom deals. It’s about deterrence, and breaking the enemy’s illusion of invulnerability," Abu Zaid emphasized.
'Explosive development'
Meanwhile, Israeli affairs expert Ismail Moslemani described the situation as an explosive development with far-reaching implications, both for "Israel" and Western nations, emphasizing that the development has significant repercussions that reflect the fragility of "Israel's" security apparatus.
Nasser Lahham, Director of Al Mayadeen's Bureau in Palestine, noted that this development could have major consequences, potentially including the firing of the Mossad chief. Lahham pointed out that some Israeli analysts see the Iranian operation as a form of retaliation for the seizure of Iranian nuclear archives by the Mossad back in 2018.
The director emphasized that "Israel" remains unaware of exactly what classified information was compromised and may have to wait for Iran to disclose the documents to discover the full extent of the breach, highlighting what he described as a manifestation of "Israel's" security vulnerabilities.
Myth of Israeli security shattered
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour, noted that Iran could use these documents in its nuclear talks with the United States and other Western countries, with Tehran signaling to "Israel" that it can reach its most sensitive locations in the occupied territories.
Mehdi Azizi stated this remarkably sophisticated operation has altered strategic equations, with imminent developments likely to influence the course of diplomatic talks on Iran's nuclear program, adding that "Iran is telling the world that the Israeli enemy is now exposed and the era of the legendary Israeli security is now gone."
