Iran’s state television said on Saturday the country obtained a large trove of sensitive Israeli nuclear information.

The Islamic Republic’s intelligence services have acquired “thousands of files related to that regime’s nuclear projects and facilities,” according to the broadcaster.

The report added that a mission to obtain the material — which it said contain extensive documents, images and videos — was carried out “a while ago,” without providing details on the files or how they were obtained.

The claim comes amid renewed escalation of hostilities between Iran and Israel, two countries that came close to an all-out war last year amid the Gaza conflict and Israeli strikes on Iran-backed groups.

The Israeli government made no immediate comment on Iran’s claims.

Last month, reports emerged that Israel was weighing potential strikes on Iranian nuclear sites — a move that Iranian officials have warned could trigger a proportionate response and derail the country’s ongoing negotiations with the U.S.

Tehran and Washington have been in talks since April to replace a nuclear deal that U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from in his first term. Trump, who has vowed to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, said last month it’d be “inappropriate” for Israel to attack Iran while talks were nearing a breakthrough.
