Iran Claims Intelligence on Israeli Nuclear Facilities, Threatens Military Response
Iranian leadership announces acquisition of sensitive intelligence on Israeli nuclear sites, insisting it will respond effectively to any military action.
Iran has declared that it has gained intelligence regarding Israel's nuclear facilities and has issued threats of potential military action if its nuclear sites are attacked.
Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Hossein Salami stated that the Ministry of Intelligence obtained sensitive military and nuclear information about Israel, enhancing the accuracy of Iran's missile capabilities.
This development, Salami claims, represents a significant blow to Israel's intelligence claims.
According to the Iranian National Security Council, receiving intelligence about Israeli nuclear sites will allow Iran to respond precisely in the event of an attack.
Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), commented that should Israel strike Iran's nuclear facilities, it could lead Iran to the brink of developing a nuclear weapon.
Grossi noted that Iran had warned it would pursue nuclear armament or withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons if attacked, emphasizing the complexity and fortification of Iran’s nuclear program which would require overwhelming force to damage.
During a press conference in Vienna, Grossi indicated that the IAEA could not definitively assert that Iran's nuclear program is solely for civilian purposes, citing a lack of transparency from Iran.
He confirmed identifying three sites in Iran where uranium enrichment had occurred.
In tandem with these developments, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei announced that Iran is preparing to propose a new deal to the United States through Oman, characterizing it as reasonable and balanced.
He criticized the U.S. proposal for lacking essential components but did not disclose details.
Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump recently discussed the Iranian nuclear issue as negotiations between Washington and Tehran face challenges.
Israeli security sources conveyed that Israel would not accept a prolonged continuation of uranium enrichment in Iran.
Last week, Iran confirmed receiving elements of the U.S. proposal regarding the nuclear deal but asserted that it contained significant ambiguities.
Since April, five rounds of negotiations mediated by Oman have been conducted in efforts to establish an alternative to the 2015 international agreement, from which former U.S. President Trump withdrew in 2018.
The IAEA has indicated that Iran is the only non-nuclear state enriching uranium to 60%, while the 2015 agreement set a cap at 3.67%.
Enrichment to 90% is necessary for nuclear weapon production.
Iran has warned that any Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear facilities will be met with immediate retaliation targeting what it describes as Israel's 'bank of targets.' Official Iranian media reported that Iranian intelligence agencies have gained access to a substantial cache of important Israeli documents, which a minister claimed would enhance Iran’s offensive capabilities.
The Supreme National Security Council in Tehran emphasized that the intelligence achievements are a product of strategic planning aimed at fortifying Iran’s readiness against perceived threats.
The council claimed the Israeli intelligence 'bank of targets' is now within range of Iranian military capabilities.
The Iranian intelligence minister characterized the uncovered documents as a 'treasure trove' and stated they will soon be revealed.
Iran asserts that these documents will demonstrate the inconsistent stance of countries that challenge the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program while overlooking Israel's nuclear armament.
Reports have surfaced about potential Iranian cyber operations targeting Israeli nuclear facilities, highlighting increased tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear agenda.
As developments continue, the IAEA remains focused on regular inspections of Israel’s nuclear research facilities, particularly the Sorek Center for Nuclear Research in Israel, which Grossi mentioned in his comments, asserting that the facility undergoes IAEA inspections despite the absence of confirmation from Israeli officials.
