ALBAWABA- Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issued a stark warning Monday, threatening to launch targeted strikes on Israel’s undisclosed nuclear facilities should Iran’s own atomic infrastructure come under attack.
The declaration follows what Tehran described as a major intelligence breakthrough, enabling Iranian forces to respond with “precision and readiness.”
The council stated that a “complex and quiet” intelligence operation conducted by Iranian security services had uncovered detailed information about secret Israeli nuclear sites.
It claimed that this intelligence would allow Iranian forces to retaliate in a “smart, immediate, and proportionate” manner if provoked.
“In the event of aggression, the regime’s hidden nuclear facilities will be targeted,” the council emphasized, framing the threat as a direct response to Israel’s history of unaccountable provocations and sabotage attempts.
The timing of the statement is notable, as it comes just hours after a 40-minute phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israeli Channel 12 reported that the call likely prompted an emergency Israeli security meeting, with speculation mounting that Israel may be considering strikes on Iranian nuclear sites amid stalled U.S.-Iran diplomatic talks.
Iran's top security body praised the country’s military for integrating the new intelligence into operational plans, stating that Iranian forces are now fully prepared to respond not only to nuclear threats, but also to cyberattacks or sabotage targeting its economy or defense infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press, quoting IAEA chief Rafael Grossi, noted that Iran’s reference likely points to the Sorek nuclear research center, which is under limited international inspection.
However, Grossi confirmed that key elements of Israel’s nuclear program remain beyond the scope of current IAEA oversight and that no official documentation has been received regarding Iran’s claims.
