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.

Earlier in November, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak found himself in hot water after Gavin Williamson, the formerly twice-dismissed cabinet minister whom Sunak recently reappointed, was accused of bullying Conservative MP Wendy Morton.

Morton filed a formal complaint to the Conservative party stating she received "vile and threatening messages" from Gavin when she was chief whip under former PM Truss' leadership.

Though Williamson is generally believed to be harmless, he has often been called a "prick" by some of his peers and social media users. 

A source close to Williamson said he "strongly refutes these allegations" and is "very happy to share all communications with the former chief whip with CCHQ [Conservative campaign headquarters] if needed."

The Conservative party did not comment on the issue, adding that the complaint is a private matter that is only dealt with internally. 

But if an independent investigation is launched on reports of Gavin's misconduct, UK's new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may find himself in hot water if the Cabinet Office’s propriety and ethics team is requested to look into the allegations.
