Iran’s Supreme National Security Council warned on Monday that any future Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities would be met with retaliation targeting Israeli nuclear sites using the intelligence that it had gathered, Iran's Mehr news agency reported on Monday.

The council said that its intelligence services had obtained “a vast quantity of strategic and sensitive information and documents” about Israel’s nuclear sites.

“Access to this information and the completion of the information and operational cycle have enabled the warriors of Islam [Iranian armed forces] to immediately counter any potential attack by the Zionist regime on the country’s nuclear facilities by attacking its secret nuclear facilities,” the statement said.

The council also warned that “any act of evil against [Iran’s] economic and military infrastructure” would receive a precise and proportionate response.

Iran reportedly obtained Israeli intelligence info

This statement follows reports from Iranian-affiliated media on Saturday that Iran obtained Israeli intelligence materials, including sensitive documents related to Israel’s nuclear capabilities. 

According to the reports, the materials allegedly included thousands of documents related to that regime’s nuclear plans and facilities.

The documents were transferred from within Israel to Iranian territory, Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen remarked.

Although the operation occurred some time ago, sources informed Iran’s Tasnim News Agency that "the large volume of documents means reviewing and analyzing images and videos has required considerable time."
