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 UK police are preparing for another wave of protests across the country, with approximately 30 demonstrations expected on Wednesday alone, Sky News reports.

Far-right protesters have rallied against the influx of migrants, spurred by unconfirmed reports that the suspect in a deadly stabbing attack on July 29, at a children's dance club in Southport was a refugee.

The stabbing incident resulted in the deaths of three children and injuries to several others.  The attacker was later identified as a 17-year-old Welsh-born boy of Rwandan descent. He was charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder. The attack is not being treated as terrorism-related.

Around 30% of trained riot police have been mobilized in anticipation of potentially violent protests, which may target lawyers' offices, police sources informed Sky News.

The police feel better prepared now compared to the initial outbreak of protests, according to reports. Police leaders expect the unrest to last a day or two, with the worst of it over soon after.

Since Monday, more than 400 individuals have been arrested in connection with the protests. 

The violent protests initially began in Southport after extremist far-right social media users falsely reported that the assailant in Monday's knife attack that killed three young girls and wounded multiple children at dance class was a Muslim immigrant.

Clashes between the demonstrators and the police were incited by members of an anti-Muslim xenophobic fascist group known as the English Defense League (EDL), who provoked protesters by attacking a local mosque with projectiles.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the violent riots as "thuggery", pledging that the assailants will face "the full force of the law."

UK counter-terrorism police are currently investigating potential terror-related crimes.
