Iranian state-controlled media and affiliated news organizations asserted today that Tehran had successfully acquired a massive cache of highly classified Israeli intelligence, supposedly including details about Israel’s defense systems and nuclear infrastructure. No proof was presented to substantiate these claims.
State television announced, “Iran’s intelligence apparatus has obtained a vast quantity of strategic and sensitive information and documents belonging to the Zionist regime,” emphasizing the alleged magnitude of the haul.
The announcement was echoed by Hezbollah-aligned al-Mayadeen and the semi-official Iranian outlet Tasnim, though none of the reports offered any specifics about the contents or origin of the purported documents.
Among the materials allegedly obtained, Iranian officials claim to have secured “thousands of documents related to the regime’s nuclear plans and facilities,” though no examples or files have been made public.
According to the Iranian broadcast, the material — said to include videos, photographs, and documents — was seized during a secretive mission. The trove was reportedly examined in detail after being transported securely back to Iran. The operation, they added, took place “some time ago,” but disclosure was delayed to allow time for data analysis and safe transfer.
Tasnim, which maintains close ties with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), linked the intelligence windfall to Roy Mizrahi and Almog Atias, two Israelis apprehended in May. They are accused of spying for Iran and collecting intelligence inside Israel.
Authorities said the two were captured while surveilling the town of Kfar Ahim, home to Defense Minister Israel Katz. Officials have described the case as another escalation in Iran’s growing intelligence campaign within Israeli borders.
Mizrahi and Atias, both 24 and residents of Nesher near Haifa, were taken into custody in late April after a collaborative investigation between the Shin Bet and the Israel Police’s Lahav 433 unit, which handles national-level crimes.
According to security officials, Mizrahi was in frequent contact with Iranian intelligence figures during 2025 and engaged in several missions at their direction. In some instances, he acted together with Atias, allegedly aware that their tasks were coordinated by Tehran.
One such operation involved digging up a bag suspected to contain an explosive device and moving it to a different location under instructions from Iranian handlers.
Reports say Mizrahi had procured a new phone and used encrypted messaging software to maintain discreet communication with his Iranian contacts.
A senior security figure stated, “This case joins a series of recent incidents that point to persistent efforts by hostile terrorist and intelligence entities to recruit Israeli citizens to carry out missions intended to harm the security of the State of Israel and its citizens.”
