Iranian state television on Wednesday aired footage of documents and images it claimed were linked to Israel’s nuclear program, saying that Tehran had obtained a “data treasure” on Israel.

The documentary displayed copies of passports presented as belonging to Israeli scientists, along with information about military facility sites.
It also showed footage said to have been filmed in southern Israel inside the Dimona reactor, widely believed to house the Middle East’s only nuclear arsenal.
In the film, Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib said: “Iran used information obtained in June to strike sensitive sites inside Israel that same month.”
Before the war, Iranian officials had said they acquired thousands of classified Israeli documents, including details related to nuclear and military sites.
The documentary described the documents as a “data treasure,” including information on Israeli weapons projects, the Dimona reactor, and lists of scientists involved in these programs.
Khatib claimed that Israeli nuclear industry employees, military personnel, and even ordinary citizens participated in transferring data to Iran—some motivated by financial reward, others by hatred toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The documentary also included photos of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi described as personal, one of which showed him kissing a person disguised as the character “Minnie Mouse.”
It alleged that the images were obtained by Israel, accusing it of spying on Grossi.
Since Israel’s surprise attack on Iran in June, which sparked a 12-day war, Iranian political leaders have publicly criticized the IAEA and its director, accusing them of partial complicity.
Iran has condemned the agency for failing to denounce Israeli—and later American—strikes against its nuclear facilities.
The release of the documentary comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and Western nations over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear activities.
The West, led by the United States and supported by Israel, accuses Iran of seeking to develop a nuclear weapon. Tehran, however, denies the allegations, insisting on its right to pursue civilian nuclear energy. – (Al Jazeera)
