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.

The Iranian police announced the elimination of a terrorist cell leader in Taftan.

The spokesperson for the Iranian police, Brigadier General Montazeri Mahdi, announced on Sunday that "the leader of the terrorist cell responsible for the attack on Iranian security forces in the Taftan area of Sistan and Baluchistan province has been eliminated."

The said attack had resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of security personnel.

He further stated that in the past 24 hours, "six individuals who assisted the terrorists have been arrested."

IRGC say eliminated terrorists during Sistan-Baluchistan drill

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) eliminated four terrorists during a military exercise in Sistan and Baluchistan, southeastern Iran, Tasnim reported on Friday.

The operation, part of a drill codenamed Martyrs of Security, targeted groups that the IRGC claims were proxy forces for hostile entities.

General Shafaei, the spokesperson for the drill, stated that IRGC units, in collaboration with the Intelligence Ministry and local police, located eight individuals involved in these terrorist cells, resulting in the arrest of four and the killing of four others.

Among those detained was a prominent member linked to an October 26 attack on police in Taftan, which killed 10 servicemen.

The IRGC's efforts yielded a cache of weapons and ammunition and utilized advanced combat drones and updated tactical approaches.

This operation follows heightened security measures in the region, particularly after the recent assault in Taftan, where armed militants attacked Iranian law enforcement personnel.

The Sistan-Baluchistan province borders both Pakistan and Afghanistan. Tensions in the area are longstanding, often erupting into clashes between Iranian security forces and local insurgents.

The area has seen repeated incidents, including an early October attack that left six people, including police officers, dead. Back then, Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for those attacks.
