BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents
Abu Zaid: Usually, archives of such sensitivity are typically protected by a full-scale security system, but it appears that Iranian intelligence managed to make use of a gap in it
Strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid: Iran has stripped "Israel" of the superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials
Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program
Fallahpour: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just its nuclear program
Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Large data trove was confirmed to have arrived to "safe sites".
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

Five people were killed and 50 others were injured after a stage collapsed on Wednesday during Mexican presidential candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez’s campaign rally, as confirmed by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Initially, Obrador reposted on X a quote by Nuevo León state governor Samuel Garcia, who said, "Four dead and 15 injured are reported."

Later, Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia confirmed that the death toll rose and told reporters from the scene, according to local television, "There was a tragedy," adding, "Preliminarily, we have five people dead and approximately 50 with different types of injuries, some serious."

Meanwhile, Maynez stated he was not hurt in the incident, adding on X, “I am fine and in communication with the authorities," confirming that the priority was to care for the victims.

This is the second reported incident of this kind in less than a year. 

A tragic incident occurred back in October in Mexico as the roof of a church collapsed, resulting in the loss of at least 10 lives and leaving 60 others injured, according to local authorities.

The disaster unfolded in the coastal town of Ciudad Madero, located in the northeastern region of Tamaulipas state. A Red Cross rescuer informed local media that approximately 80 individuals had been present at the Santa Cruz parish when the roof gave way.

"Unfortunately, ten people are confirmed dead. Of these, five are women, two men, and three children," Americo Villarreal, governor of Tamaulipas, told reporters at the scene of the disaster.

At least 60 people were treated for injuries, the governor said, with 23 hospitalized.
