Iranian intelligence seizes documents containing Israeli nuke plans, corruption, organ trafficking networks, others
Iranian journalist with links to the country’s security establishment has released what he says are the first details from the thousands of sensitive documents on Israel, which Tehran announced it obtained days ago.
The documents include “Tel Aviv’s dangerous four-year roadmap in the nuclear field” and information on Israel’s “nuclear military industry facilities, bases, infrastructure and processes,” journalist Mohammad Ghaderi reported on 10 June.
The documents, which, according to Tehran, revolve mainly around Israel’s nuclear secrets, contain other information, such as documentation of bribes to well-known Arab figures aimed at advancing the Abraham Accords, as well as the “complete profiles” of 23 senior Israeli spies.
They also include “Information on about six million Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Telegram users,” Ghaderi says.
Additionally, there is personal information on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, including medical documents.

The journalist notes that Iran’s “treasure trove” includes “Information on corruption networks, including organ trafficking networks, drug distribution, sexual exploitation of women and children, information finance, money, banking, and insurance.”
“There are also hard drives and nearly 2,000 documents from the Israeli premier’s office, as well as information from “Mossad’s secret archive,” Ghaderi added.
Ghaderi claims Iran has also obtained access to private information on Israeli officials and leaders opposing Netanyahu, “including from hidden cameras in their bathrooms, bedrooms and inside their homes, and information obtained from hacking their mobile phones and personal computers, which were used in Bibi’s office to blackmail his opponents.”
“The documents also contain thousands of high-quality aerial images of Israeli cities, ports, and important infrastructure, as well as “40,000 hours of CCTV footage.”
A banned recording of a heated Knesset debate involving Netanyahu, reportedly erased from official Israeli archives, is part of the cache of documents allegedly seized by Iranian intelligence.

According to DropSite News, Ghaderi is “a known media proxy” who “is often used by Iranian authorities to release sensitive information before official acknowledgement.”
DropSite News reporter Ryan Grim said, “either Iran is bluffing for leverage ahead of the next round of nuclear talks, or they pulled off an espionage coup of historic proportions.”
Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib announced on 8 June that Tehran has obtained thousands of sensitive documents on Israel’s nuclear programme.
“The transfer of this treasure trove was time-consuming and required security measures. Naturally, the transfer methods will remain confidential, but the documents should be unveiled soon,” Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib told Iranian television on Sunday.
“Talking of thousands of documents would be an understatement,” Khatib went on to say. The “vast collection of strategic and sensitive [Israeli] documents” includes “plans and data on [Israel’s] nuclear facilities,” according to the intelligence minister.
They also include other documents about the relationship with the US, Europe, and other countries, as well as intelligence documents that would boost Iran’s offensive power,” Khatib said.
On 10 June, the Intelligence Ministry confirmed the operation in an official statement, saying the documents were seized by operatives who managed to break through multiple layers of Israeli security and avoid detection.
A significant portion will be used by Iran’s military, some will be shared with allied countries and anti-Zionist groups, and selected parts will be made public, the ministry added.
The chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami, said the intel will provide Iran with an advantage if it is forced to respond to an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities.
