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. ❗️IRGC chief: "The impact of Iranian missiles will become more precise with the information obtained from the Zionists." — Press TV Breaking (@PTVBreaking1) June 9, 2025 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.
