Earlier today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed the confiscation of 100,000 Iranian nuclear documents, which were taken out of Tehran by intelligence operatives. The documents show Iran lied about having a secret nuclear program.
Netanyahu described the collection and extradition of the information as a "great intelligence achievement." It was a major, seemingly impossible intelligence success.
Israel stole the physical files right out of Iran and now exposing them. Boldest damn intell operation I’ve ever seen.

Here's a fun question to ponder: How much time transpired between the Iranians discovering that 100k files from their nuclear program were missing and Bibi's speech today?

WOW: Israeli spies smuggled out Iran's top secret nuke weapons files. Definitive proof Iran still secretly developing nuke weapons. Conclusion: Obama's Iran deal was nonsense theater to empower Iran's regional pursuit of dominance.

So the only story I'm interested in now is how the Israelis got those files. A staggering intelligence operation.

The mole hunt inside the Iranian regime and nuclear program is also going to be staggering https://t.co/C0ccNazZu9

Iranian nuke vault has got to be on the most secure places in the country. Israel must have had dozens of assets, all with top-level clearance. And if this all happened two weeks ago, the Iranians have known they were snookered since then. See developments in Syria in this light.

Netanyahu shows original Iranian photos and videos of secret nuclear weapons program, including underground facility for nuclear core.

Spies steal documents all the time. But this was a huge cache. And usually, spy agencies keep quiet after the intelligence is lifted. Not so with the Israelis. They are broadcasting this – making it as much a psychological operation as a revelation about Iran’s nuclear mendacity.

So, when does the movie about the operation come out?
