Iran Exposes Israel’s Nuclear Weapons Program and its Deliberate Policy of Ambiguity

In a documentary titled “Spider’s Lair,” which was broadcast on Iran’s national television on Wednesday, Iran’s intelligence agencies claimed to have acquired sensitive information about Israel’s nuclear weapons programs, nuclear reprocessing facilities, and the names of scientists involved in these projects. Iranian Intelligence Minister Seyed Esmail Khatib characterized the newly released data as a treasure trove, comprising millions of pages of varied and significant information about the Zionist regime. The first announcement about the trove was issued in early June 2025; however, yesterday marked the beginning of several expected releases that are likely to provide further insight into Israel’s undisclosed nuclear weapon program, which could put an end to Israel’s “nuclear ambiguity.”

Khatib stated that the Israeli nuclear sector, the military, and even ordinary citizens participated in the transfer of this data to Iran. Some individuals were compensated for their actions, while others were motivated by resentment towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As reported by PRESS TV, 189 Israeli scientific and military experts were identified.

The documents presented during the broadcast indicated a supposed nuclear collaboration between Israel and France under a project named Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF), based at the Soreq Nuclear Research Center (SNRC) in Israel. According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), a nonprofit, nonpartisan global security organization, “Soreq has several divisions: ElectroOptics, Non-Destructive Testing, a National Radiation Safety Center, the Israel Research Reactor-1 (IRR-1), the Space Environment Group, and Radiopharmaceuticals”. However, according to a declassified Pentagon study, the design and fabrication of nuclear weapons is said to occur at the Soreq Nuclear Research Centre, which ultimately raises a whole host of questions, ultimately challenging Israel’s so-called “Nuclear Ambiguity” stance. This information is also corroborated by Hans M. Kristensen and Joshua Handler, who delve into great detail into Israel’s Nuclear Weapons program at SOREQ in the SIPRI Yearbook 2002, in “Appendix 10A: World Nuclear Forces, Armaments, Disarmament, and International Security, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002), p. 565.

This new disclosure, which reinforces the idea that some NATO allies are cooperating with Israel to project nuclear capabilities and deterrence in the Gulf, the Middle East and West Asia, comes as European nations are gearing up to advocate for a vote during the quarterly board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in Vienna, scheduled to start on Monday. This vote could potentially result in the reinstatement of UN “snapback” sanctions on Iran in October. Next week, members of the IAEA board from France, Germany, and the UK will be requested to review an IAEA confidential report which claims that Iran has allegedly enriched 400kg of uranium to a purity level of 60%. This level is considered near weapons-grade and deemed to be sufficient for the production of 10 nuclear bombs, as per various reports. Should the motion be approved, the French, Germans, and British will have until 18 October to decide if they want to reinstate the sanctions outlined in the 2015 agreement.

Amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, this revelation reignites discussions about Israel’s unregulated nuclear weapons program, which, for reasons yet to be clarified by the IAEA, has stayed shrouded in secrecy. Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s administration continues to push for military strikes aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities, a strategy that Tehran has warned against…

Iran says it obtained secret files on Israel’s nuclear program

Iran’s intelligence ministry aired a segment on national TV displaying information and documents that it says it obtained from Israel’s intelligence apparatus on the Jewish state’s nuclear program

The broadcast featured a series of video files that reportedly contain material from inside Israeli nuclear and other sensitive facilities, including the Dimona site. It also presented alleged details about personnel working on Israel’s nuclear program.

“We identified 189 Israeli nuclear and proliferation scientists and top officials, along with their networks,” Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib said during the presentation, which included names and ID cards of alleged nuclear personnel.

“I tell Netanyahu … your employees collaborated with us for money and still do,” Khatib, a cleric and veteran military and intelligence official, added. Israel is widely believed to have an undeclared nuclear arsenal.

Tehran’s nemesis killed nuclear scientists and hundreds of military personnel in a surprise 12-day military campaign in June, underscoring Iranian intelligence failures. Iran has said it too has infiltrated its enemy, and Israel has arrested several of its citizens on charges of spying for Tehran.

One alleged employee was introduced with a photo and described as working across seven Israeli nuclear sites under the cover of a company called ROTEM. Another was identified as a nuclear scientist allegedly involved in “proliferation projects” between Israel and the United States.

It also mentioned the Chaim Weizmann laboratory, which it described as Israel’s leading proliferation program and was targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles during a 12-day war in June. Additional documents shown in the broadcast suggested alleged nuclear cooperation between Israel and France under a project called SARAF.

One batch of the alleged material included private and family photos of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi, which is alleged to have been obtained from Israeli intelligence sources.

The video, published on Tasnim’s Telegram channel, showed images of Grossi with his family at Disneyland, at home during birthdays and in gatherings with colleagues and friends.

According to the intelligence ministry, the material demonstrated that Israeli intelligence spies “on everyone,” including the IAEA chief, and that the data it had obtained proves this claim.
