Iran has said it will soon start releasing information from a hoard of Israeli nuclear secrets it claims to have obtained, as European countries push for a vote this week on reimposing UN sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme.

The unverified claims by Iranian intelligence of a massive leak of Israeli secrets may be designed to turn the focus away from what Iran argues is its own excessively monitored civil nuclear programme.

On Sunday, Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib, claimed Tehran had obtained “a vast collection of strategic and sensitive [Israeli] documents, including plans and data on the nuclear facilities”. He added evidence would be released shortly, and implied some of the documentation was linked to Israel’s arrest of two Israeli nationals, Roi Mizrahi and Almog Attias, over alleged spying for Iran.

The delivery method counts a lot.

Do they have ICBMs? Nuclear capable boats or subs? Briefcase nukes hidden in a lead safe in every embassy?

If they do release the information the western media industrial complex will ignore it and pretend that Iran didn't have anything after all. But I hope that whatever it is will be useful to someone.

What secrets could they possibly have. They have them? Everyone already knows? They have plans to use them? Every nuclear country already does.

Meh I hope a nuclear war doesn’t break out soon. Just another thing to add to the list I guess.
