Israel's Mossad intelligence service raided a secret location in Tehran that looked like "a dilapidated warehouse" and removed original documents on the nuclear weapons program to smuggle back to Israel in a one-night operation last January, officials told The New York Times.

A senior Israeli official said that Mossad discovered the warehouse in February 2016 and had the building under surveillance since then, according to the report.
Mossad chief Yossi Cohen then informed U.S. President Donald Trump about the raid during a visit to Washington in January, the official said, stating that the delay was attributed to the time it took to analyze the documents. A vast majority of them were in Persian.
In a press conference on the Iran nuclear deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed to the world the seized documents, calling out the deal as being based on "lies."
At the conference on Monday, Netanyahu presented 55,000 pages of documents and 183 CDs, and blasted Iran for hiding an "atomic archive" of documents on its nuclear program.
"Now, from the outside, this was an innocent looking compound," Netanyahu said about the warehouse, adding "but from the inside, it contained Iran’s secret atomic archives locked in massive files."
U.S. President Donald Trump, who spoke publicly 30 minutes after Netanyahu's speech, said that Netanyahu's speech "showed that I was 100% right" in criticizing the nuclear deal.
This comes as the U.S. deadline on Iranian sanctions regarding the nuclear deal, May 12, draws near.
