"Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday published documents he said were taken from Iran and show Iranian intelligence spied on the UN’s atomic agency in order to better cover up its rogue nuclear activities.
Bennett tweeted a link to the files, which are in Persian, along with a video in which he responded to remarks by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian dismissing the spying allegations last week as 'Zionist lies.'
'Spreading lies? Come on. I’m holding the proof of your lies right here in my hands,' Bennett said in the video, holding up copies of the documents. 'You see, after Iran stole classified documents from the UN’s Atomic Agency, Iran used that information to figure out what the atomic agency was hoping to find, and then created cover stories and hid evidence to evade their nuclear probes.
'So how do we know this? Because we got our hands on Iran’s deception plan a few years back. And it’s right here in my hands,' Bennett said, referring to a daring 2018 operation that saw Israeli agents spirit out hundreds of thousands of documents about Iran’s nuclear program from a warehouse in Iran.
'Here it is, in the Persian language, hundreds of pages marked with the stamp of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence,' Bennett said.
He said that some of the documents have handwritten notes on them, including one by the Iranian defense minister to Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, regarded as the head of Iran’s nuclear program. Fakhrizadeh was assassinated in a November 2020 ambush near Tehran, in an operation attributed to Israel.
In the note, the minister wrote, 'Sooner or later they (referring to the atomic agency) will ask us — and we’ll need to have a comprehensive cover story for them,' Bennett quoted.
Iran lied to the world, Iran is lying to the world again right now, and the world must make sure that Iran doesn’t get away scot-free,' Bennett warned..."
