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 Sudanese government, in a letter to the United Nations on Thursday, requested the immediate termination of the UN's political mission, UNITAMS, in the country.

"[The] government of Sudan requested that the United Nations immediately terminate the UNITAMS mission. At the same time, we would like to assure you that the Government of Sudan is committed to engaging constructively with the Security Council and the Secretariat," Ali Sadeq, Sudan's acting Foreign Minister, conveyed in the letter to the UN Security Council, as reported by Reuters and dpa news agencies.

The letter directed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres mentioned, "The purpose of establishing the mission [was] to assist the transitional government of Sudan after the December 2018 revolution," indicating that the mission's effectiveness in achieving its goals "was disappointing."

The UN Security Council has received and disseminated the letter, as stated by Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

The relationship between the Sudanese government and the UN has been strained since the outbreak of clashes in the country on April 15.

Volker Perthes, the UN special envoy to Sudan, resigned in September, over three months after the Sudanese government declared him persona non grata. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the de facto president of Sudan, accused him of exacerbating the conflict in the country.

Since late last year, Sudanese people have staged many protests against Perthes and the UN mission he heads in war-torn Sudan, denouncing foreign meddling in the African country.

Sudan has been facing turmoil due to armed clashes between the army and Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, primarily centered on control of the country. 

It is worth noting that over 10,000 people have been reportedly killed in Sudan since the beginning of the clashes, based on a conservative estimate by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data project. Meanwhile, UN figures indicate that approximately six million individuals have been displaced from their residences.
