TEHRAN, June 9 (Xinhua) — Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib announced Sunday that the country has received a “valuable collection” of strategic, operational and scientific data and documents from Israel, which he said will be made public soon.
In an interview with Iran’s state news agency IRIB, Khatib called the acquisition a “great intelligence achievement” for his ministry.
He said the documents cover Israel’s nuclear program as well as its relations with the United States, Europe and other countries, stressing that some of the intelligence files could enhance Iran’s offensive capabilities.
He refrained from detailing the methods used to transfer the documents to Iran, saying the methods were as important as the documents themselves and would remain protected.
E. Khatib added that a “complex, large-scale, comprehensive and lengthy” operation was developed and carried out to obtain them.
IRIB said in a statement on Saturday that the blackout was necessary to ensure the safe transfer of the documents, noting that the volume of data was so large that it took weeks to study it. –0–
