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.

Pope Francis had another "quiet night" at the Rome hospital where he has been battling pneumonia in both lungs for a month, the Vatican announced on Friday.

While no longer in critical condition, the 88-year-old pope continues to receive respiratory support, using a nasal cannula during the day and an oxygen mask at night.

The Vatican reported that Francis had physiotherapy on Thursday and is still receiving ongoing treatment at the Gemelli Hospital. He also enjoyed a cake to mark his 12 years as pope, prayed, and completed his breathing exercises.

The Vatican press office indicated that a new medical bulletin would be issued Friday evening but may cease providing daily morning updates.

As speculation grows about his return home, the pope’s extended hospital stay, which began on February 14, has sparked concerns about his ability to lead the world’s nearly 1.4 billion Catholics.

"It takes time for an 88-year-old body affected by bilateral pneumonia to recover, also in terms of energy, of strength," the Vatican said.

On March 4, the Pope suffered two episodes of "acute respiratory failure" due to a significant accumulation of endobronchial mucus and a consequent bronchospasm. 

"Two bronchoscopies were therefore performed, requiring aspiration of abundant secretions," the Vatican said at the time. "In the afternoon, non-invasive mechanical ventilation was resumed."

The pope has faced several health challenges in recent years, including colon surgery in 2021 and a hernia operation in 2023. However, this marks his longest and most serious hospitalization during his papacy.
