International Desk, June 9, 2025 : Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib announced that highly sensitive and classified Israeli documents will soon be made public. Describing them as “invaluable assets,” he claimed the documents would bolster Iran’s aggressive stance. No evidence was immediately provided to support these claims.
In an interview on Iranian state television on Sunday, June 8, Khatib made these remarks, as reported by The Times of Israel. He stated that Tehran has obtained thousands of secret documents, including details on Israel’s nuclear facilities, defense capabilities, and covert ties with the United States, Europe, and other countries.
Iranian state media reported that intelligence agencies have secured a vast data repository, though no substantiating evidence has been presented. Khatib said the document transfer resulted from a long-term, highly secure process. While the transfer method will remain confidential, the documents will be released soon.
Israel has not yet officially responded. It is unclear whether this alleged leak is connected to a 2023 cyberattack on an Israeli nuclear research facility.
In 2018, then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Mossad had recovered a vast archive of Iran’s nuclear program, providing evidence of its extensive nuclear activities.
The announcement comes amid stalled negotiations between Iran and the United States over Iran’s nuclear program. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected calls to halt uranium enrichment, stating it is against Iran’s interests.
US President Donald Trump has emphasized diplomatic solutions, reportedly intervening in April to prevent a planned Israeli attack, according to international media.
Western nations accuse Iran of enriching uranium to levels close to those needed for a nuclear bomb. Iran insists its program is peaceful and civilian in nature.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran is secretly continuing nuclear activities, raising global concerns. The IAEA’s Board of Governors may censure Iran this week.
Amid heightened Middle East security tensions, Iran’s announcement could spark new diplomatic instability. The authenticity and verifiability of the documents remain uncertain.
