Overview

  • Iranian state television broadcast a film purporting to show smuggled materials from Israel’s nuclear program, including footage said to be from inside the Dimona site.
  • Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib claimed Iran identified 189 Israeli nuclear and proliferation scientists and officials, alleging some cooperated for money or out of opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • The programme displayed identity documents and passports it said belonged to Israeli personnel tied to nuclear activities.
  • The broadcast also showed personal photos of IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, which Iranian officials presented as part of the trove.
  • Iran has not released full document sets and the materials cannot be independently verified, while Israel has not issued a detailed public response.
