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.

Rishi Sunak was elected by Conservative MPs as their new leader in October 2022 after Liz Truss resigned from the premiership just weeks following her election.

Under his leadership, the country has witnessed a sharp drop in inflation along with decreasing consumer prices.

Despite this, the UK is ranked as the weakest economy among Western European countries and is forecasted to remain so due to high interest rates and the lasting impacts of last year's inflation surge.

Earlier this month, the OECD said that the UK will plunge to the bottom of G7 economic growth rates in 2025 with a growth of 1 percent, directly behind Germany at 1.1 percent.

Meanwhile, the US and Canada will top the chart as the fastest-growing member economies at 1.8 percent for both.
