Israeli spies had infiltrated deep into Iran’s nuclear and missile programs long before launching recent strikes, conducting years of covert surveillance and gathering detailed intelligence on Tehran’s weapons infrastructure—which was found to be far more advanced and widespread than previously believed. According to leaked intelligence documents obtained by The Times and shared with Western allies including the U.S. and the UK, the Mossad and other branches of Israeli military intelligence concluded that Iran’s nuclear development extended far beyond the known facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Their findings suggested a vast and rapidly advancing network of weapons production sites.
