Iran claims it has stolen documents on Israel's nuclear weapons program and plans to share it.

FTA:

(Zero Hedge)—Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib is claiming Tehran has acquired a "treasure trove” of sensitive Israeli documents, including information on Israel’s secret (but long not-so-secret) nuclear weapons program, as well as apparent evidence of US and European knowledge and support.

He vowed to make them public, at which point this could force either an Israeli or US official statement.

Iranian state TV unveiled the alleged clandestine operation on Saturday, though no evidence was provided. Additionally, Israel has yet to acknowledge anything regarding theft of its files, which may have occurred through a cyber-breach.

The temperature keeps rising and sooner or later....

The Associated Press reporting on Khatib’s words strongly points to cyber espionage, given the US-sanctioned intelligence chief’s background:
