In an interview aired on IRIB on Sunday, Khatib said a “massive, multi-layered and complicated operation” designed by the Intelligence Ministry of Iran resulted in the acquisition of strategic documents and information about the Zionist regime.
The operation involved the start of infiltration, attraction of sources, access to the sources, and enhancement of access that resulted in obtaining the treasure trove, he stated.
Asked if the documents include any non-nuclear data, the intelligence minister said, “They also include other documents about relationship with the US, Europe and other countries, as well as intelligence documents that would boost the country’s (Iran’s) offense power.”
The cleric explained that the manner the documents have been transferred to Iran is as important as the documents themselves.
“We will keep the methods of transfer and these documents secret. While the announcement (of the operation) took some time in order for the documents to arrive in the country in full safety, the methods of transfer will be naturally kept secret and won’t be made public any soon. However, the documents will be released soon,” the intelligence minister stated.
The IRIB News Agency quoted informed sources as saying on Saturday that the Iranian intelligence forces have obtained a considerable amount of data as well as strategic and sensitive documents of the Zionist regime, including thousands of documents on its nuclear plans and facilities.
The IRIB News Agency also quoted the sources as saying that the number of the documents transferred to Iran is so huge that examining all of them, including the images and videos, requires a considerable amount of time.
