Iran’s Intelligence Minister, Esmail Khatib, on Sunday (June 8) said sensitive Israeli nuclear documents obtained by Tehran would be released soon, Reuters reports.
Iranian state media reported on Saturday that Iranian intelligence agencies had obtained a large trove of sensitive Israeli documents. Khatib said these were related to Israel's nuclear facilities and its relations with the United States, Europe and other countries, and to its defensive capabilities.
There was no immediate official comment from Israel.
It was not clear whether the information breach was linked to a reported hacking of an Israeli nuclear research center last year which Tehran is only disclosing now amid heightened tensions over its nuclear program.
