Iran's intelligence minister claimed without offering evidence Sunday that Tehran seized an ''important treasury'' of information regarding Israel's nuclear program, ahead of a week in which the Islamic Republic likely will face new diplomatic pressure over its own program.

The ‘revelation’, if true, could pose serious political and security consequences for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, especially at a time when the Middle Eastern region is simmering with tension.

Iranian intelligence has obtained a large cache of sensitive Israeli documents, described by Minister of Intelligence Esmail Khatib as a 'treasure trove.' These documents reportedly relate to Israel's nuclear facilities and its relations with various countries.
