Iranian media reported that the operation had been completed some time ago. A gag order had been imposed until the secret information arrived safely in Iran. The information provided by the Iranian authorities cannot be independently verified.
In this context, state radio and the Isna news agency referred to the arrest of two Israelis whose detention became known a good two weeks ago. According to Israeli media reports, the two 24-year-olds from near Haifa were arrested at the end of April.
Israel has been considered an arch-enemy of the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution. Last year, the two countries came to the brink of open war on several occasions. Israel repeatedly threatened to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. For decades, the Iranian leadership has repeatedly called for the destruction of the Jewish state.
