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 interior minister of the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Ziya Ozturkler, announced on Monday that the republic's officials intend to establish a migration center to tackle unlawful migration.

"To make the TRNC [Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus] a safe and peaceful country, the fight against undocumented and irregular migration continues," Ozturkler said after a meeting with Turkish Deputy Interior Minister Yasin Ekrem Serim, as quoted by the Cyprus Mail.

According to the newspaper, Ozturkler noted that the center will mostly inspect students and workers traveling in the region from Turkey and other nations. He also added that "foreign representatives" would also take part in the creation of the center.

This announcement comes amid negotiations to solve the migration crisis that has affected thousands of migrants over the years and across borders.

The number of migrants who have lost their lives this year while attempting to get to Europe by sea has been revised by researchers at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), bringing the total to over 2,000.

IOM statistics show that between January 1 and June 26 of this year, at least 1,999 migrants died, the majority of whom drowned (1,358 deaths occurred during the same time the previous year). The three main routes across the Mediterranean, as well as the Atlantic route from West Africa, are all included in these totals.

More than 60,000 migrants have entered Italy so far this year, compared to less than 27,000 during this period last year, a notable rise in the number of arrivals. More than 82,000 migrants are expected to arrive in total by sea in Mediterranean Europe this year, according to the IOM, compared to less than 49,000 at this time last year.

Cyprus has been divided since the Turkish army invaded the northern third of its territories in 1974. The republic joined the European Union in 2004, but the benefits of this accession are limited to the southern part of the island where Greek Cypriots live. The southern part of Cyprus is ruled by the only authority recognized by the United Nations, while only Ankara recognizes the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

After years of unsuccessful UN-backed efforts to resume talks, the most prominent of which took place in Switzerland in 2017, Erdogan is demanding  the establishment of two states and the international community's recognition of Northern Cyprus.
