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.

Russia has confirmed on Wednesday that it is not considering or negotiating a possible military presence in Mali.

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesman disclosed that "There are no representatives of the Russian armed forces there and no official negotiations are in progress."

The Kremlin's denial comes one day after Paris warned on Tuesday of a possible agreement between the military council in Bamako and the Russian firm Wagner, which France considers "unacceptable."

According to Peskov, Russian authorities are in contact with many countries, including those in the African continent.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned on Tuesday that Paris could withdraw its forces from Mali, if the ruling military council was allied with the Wagner forces.

“An intervention by a group of this kind in Mali would be incompatible with the actions of France," stressed Le Drian. 

For her part, French Armed Forces Minister Florence Parly expressed her concern that such an agreement would be "extremely worrying."

A French source divulged to French media that the ruling military council in Bamako is considering the possibility of concluding a contract with Wagner forces to deploy thousands of Russian paramilitary forces to train the armed forces and provide protection for leaders.

It is noteworthy that more than 40 civilians were killed last August in Mali by suspected "jihadists", according to local officials.

In a report submitted to the Security Council, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recommended increasing 2,000 soldiers to the peace force in Mali in order to increase protection at the center of the country.

The report called for the deployment of about 2,069 uniformed personnel, including 1,730 soldiers and 339 policemen, as part of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali.
