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.

    Most Americans believe US global influence is waning

Americans overwhelmingly view China as either a “competitor” or an “enemy”, rather than a “partner.” According to a Pew Research Center survey, most American adults do not believe their country is winning the competition of geopolitical influence. 

According to the study, nearly half of Americans, approximately 47%, said that the US is faced with a weakening foreign influence status. 32% said that the influence of the US remains unchanged while only one in five said that the US’ influence is increasing.

The survey showed a stark comparison between the US and China’s image with respect to US adults. According to Pew Research Center, two-thirds of US adults say that China’s global influence has increased. Only one in five say that China’s influence remains stagnant while one in ten argue that China’s influence has been diminishing.

The research center found that the views pertaining to the countries’ sway in the international world are marked, and associated, with both the partisanship and ideology of the decision-maker.

For example, Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are much more likely (63%) than Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents (37%) to say that the US’s influence in the world has been declining. 

  • Research shows views on US influence associated with partisanship

In terms of ideology, self-described conservative Republicans (70%) are noticeably more likely than moderate or liberal Republicans (47%), while liberal Democrats are more inclined (43%) than conservative or moderate Democrats (32%), to say US influence has been fading.

Moreover, when contextualized further to include views on China’s sway, the association remains fundamental in that Republicans remain more likely than Democrats to view China as a threat to the US since its influence has started expanding in the face of a declining US influence (78% vs. 63% respectively).

Percentages vary though within each party: Nearly 78% of conservative Republicans vocalized their concern with China’s growing influence versus 60% of the moderate and liberal Republicans saying the same. Among Democrats, 72% of liberals think China’s power is mounting, while only 57% of moderates and conservatives say the same.
