Iranian missiles strike Israel’s Nevatim airbase in Oct, 2024

Press TV – June 10, 2025

The chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the Islamic Republic will be able to strike potential Israeli targets “more precisely” now after it laid its hands on a trove of intelligence on the Israeli regime’s sensitive nuclear facilities.

Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks in a letter dated Monday, and addressed to Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib to congratulate the latter on the occasion of the recent counterintelligence operation.

The triumph, reports of which began to surface on Saturday, saw Iranian intelligence agents penetrate a monumental cache of the regime’s documents relating to its nuclear, military, security, and infrastructural facilities.

The compromised targets included the Israeli sites that are related to the regime’s clandestine nuclear program, which is widely reported to have helped Tel Aviv acquire hundreds of nonconventional missiles.

“Undoubtedly, this sensitive intelligence will render the efforts that are aimed at accelerating the annihilation of the occupying Zionist regime more effective and increase the precision of [potential future] Iranian missile strikes,” Salami wrote.

Last year, the Islamic Republic targeted a host of sensitive and strategic Israeli targets across the occupied Palestinian territories during two wholesale retaliatory operations staged in response to the regime’s acts of aggression against the Iranian soil. Operation True Promise I and II saw the country launch hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones towards the intended targets with 90-percent accuracy.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has also addressed the upper hand that had been gained through the counterintelligence breakthrough, warning that Iran would target the Israeli regime’s secret nuclear facilities if it undertook any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

‘Astonishing victory in intelligence warfare’

Salami called the triumph an “astonishing” development that was a “source of [great] pride” during its underway “intelligence warfare” against the Israeli regime.

He described the “tremendous success” as “Operation al-Aqsa Flood II” in the intelligence arena, in reference to Palestinian resistance fighters’ Operation al-Aqsa Flood of October 2023 against the occupied territories, during which they encircled strategic Israeli bases and captured hundreds of Zionists.

The triumphant Iranian countermeasure “once again nullified the delusion and claim that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been weakened in the region,” and “exposed the reality of the Zionist regime’s supposed intelligence and security strength.”

‘A testament to Iran’s intelligence command’

The operation, he added, testified to the Islamic Republic’s “intelligence command and [power of] infiltration” deep into the “hidden and unseen layers” of the Zionist regime’s infrastructure.

According to Salami, the triumph, therefore, dispelled the myth of the regime’s purported world-class “espionage and security” structure, inflicting fresh “shock and instability” to it following al-Aqsa Flood.

The commander finally vowed that the counterintelligence masterstroke would, by no means, mark the last time the Islamic Republic had struck the regime.

“This blow will not be the final strike to this regime’s decaying corpse, and heralds the final victory of truth over falsehood.”
