DUBAI: Top secret files acquired by Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad show a memorandum proving that the Iranian defense ministry was responsible for enriching weapons grade uranium, UK daily The Times reported.
The memo, which was handed from the Iranian atomic energy authority to the defense ministry, was among 100,000 files taken by Mossad agents from a Tehran warehouse in January the report added.
“What Iran told the International Atomic Energy Agency about its capacities was almost comical compared to what we have here,” said a senior Israeli intelligence officer involved in the analysis of the seized documents.
“Iran said there had only been feasibility and scientific studies but what we see is that Iran ran a fully-fledged nuclear weapons program and that it followed directions from the political levels,” he added.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be in Europe from Monday in a bid to rally support from key allies for amending the international nuclear deal with Iran, setting meetings with the leaders of Germany, the UK and France.
“I will meet there with three leaders and will discuss two subjects: Iran and Iran,” he said, adding he wanted pressure on Iran’s nuclear program to be “intensified.”
“It could be that on this matter there isn’t a consensus right now, but with time, in my opinion, that understanding will be reached,” Netanyahu added.

Dozen people entered Egypt from Gaza on first day of Rafah opening: source
RAFAH: A handful of injured Palestinians and their companions entered Egypt from Gaza on Monday, the first day of a limited reopening of the Rafah border crossing, a source on the Egyptian side of the border told AFP.
“Five injured people and seven companions” crossed the border, the source said on Tuesday.
The reopening, demanded by the United Nations and aid groups, is a key part of the second phase of US President Donald Trump’s truce plan for Gaza, where humanitarian conditions remain dire after two years of war.
The number of patients allowed to enter Egypt through the crossing was limited to 50 on Monday, each accompanied by two companions, according to three officials at the Egyptian border.
An Egyptian health official told AFP on Monday that three ambulances had arrived with Palestinian patients who were screened upon arrival to determine which hospital to be taken to.
AlQahera News, citing Egypt’s health ministry, reported that 150 hospitals and 300 ambulances had been prepared to receive Palestinian patients.
It said 12,000 doctors and 30 rapid deployment teams had been allocated to work with those transferred.
The director of Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, Mohammed Abu Salmiya, said there were 20,000 patients in the territory in urgent need of treatment, including 4,500 children.
There was no official announcement of the number of people who returned to Gaza via the crossing.
AFP images on Monday showed empty buses crossing back to Egypt after transporting Palestinians to Gaza earlier in the day.
The partial resumption of operations at the crossing comes after Israeli forces seized control of the gateway to Egypt in May 2024 during the war with Hamas.
Gaza’s civil defense reported dozens killed in a wave of Israeli strikes over the weekend, in what the military said was retaliation for Palestinian fighters exiting a tunnel in Rafah city.
Ali Shaath, the head of a Palestinian technocratic committee established to oversee the day-to-day governance of Gaza, said Rafah’s reopening offered a “window of hope” for the territory.
