Iran says it has obtained massive trove of Israeli nuclear documents

Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB says the country’s intelligence services have acquired a “vast trove” of Israeli files, including thousands of documents linked to the country’s nuclear infrastructure.

Quoting unnamed sources, IRIB reported that the amount of material seized is so extensive that simply reviewing and analysing it — along with related images and video — would take considerable time.

“The sheer volume of the materials and the need to securely transfer the entire shipment into the country necessitated a period of media silence,” the sources said, adding that the files are now stored in secure locations.

The report follows last month’s announcement by Israeli police that several people had been arrested in connection with a leak of classified material from the prime minister’s office.

While IRIB referred to that incident, it did not confirm whether the arrests were directly linked to Iran’s alleged acquisition of the documents.
