Spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry says that Tehran insists the intelligence leakage from Israeli regime will not alter its fundamental stance on Tel Aviv despite obtaining a trove of classified Israeli nuclear documents.

Why it matters:

Iranian intelligence services successfully exfiltrated highly sensitive Israeli nuclear documents from the occupied territories. The operation is conducted as the Israeli regime enjoys several intelligence services, including Shin Bet and Mossad.

 

The big picture:

According to IRIB, Iran's national media, the operation occurred weeks ago but was disclosed only after secure transfer and verification of the files. The intelligence breach, involving thousands of files related to Israeli nuclear infrastructure. 

 

 

What he’s saying:

Emaiel Baghaei: “The acquired materials will not influence Iran’s official stance. The Islamic Republic does not recognize Israel as a legitimate state. Our intelligence services have assessed the content, and further updates will be provided when appropriate.”

He reiterated that Iran views Israel as: "An occupying and expansionist regime, responsible for regional instability, and currently engaged in an all-out genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip."

 

Key points:

  • The documents reportedly contain nuclear site layouts, strategic facility data, videos, and photographs.
  • Thousands of files are now under analysis in protected facilities in Iran.
  • Tehran remains publicly committed to its longstanding position, grounded in international law, humanitarian principles, and Islamic values.

 

State of Play:

Israel’s internal security service (Shin Bet) arrested two suspects, namely Roy Mizrahi and Almog Atias, both 24 years old and residents of the northern city of Nesher, linked to espionage 17 days ago after the files had already been smuggled out.

This intelligence breach raises serious concerns over vulnerabilities within Israeli security infrastructure.
