BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation entailed a combination of electronic and cyber operations, along with infiltrations by agents on the ground
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.

A report by UN sanctions monitors underscores that between 10,000 and 15,000 people have been killed by the Rapid Support Forces and allies in West Darfur since the beginning of the conflict in Sudan.

A United Nations report by independent UN sanctions monitors published on Friday revealed that between 10,000 and 15,000 people were killed in a single city in Sudan's West Darfur region last year, as ethnic violence by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allies surged.

The report, which was presented to the UN Security Council, attributed the numbers in the death toll in El Geneina to intelligence sources, and then contrasted it with the UN's broader estimation of approximately 12,000 people killed across Sudan since the outbreak of conflict on April 15, 2023.

Significantly, the sanctions monitors, in their report, also acknowledged "credible" allegations that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had supplied military assistance to the RSF "several times per week" through Amdjarass in northern Chad.

In turn, the report also underscored that a senior Sudanese military official had accused the UAE of supporting the RSF's wartime activities back in November.

"The attacks were planned, coordinated, and executed by RSF and their allied Arab militias," the sanctions monitors wrote in their annual report.

Al-Burhan rejects reconciliation with RSF, vows to continue conflict

Sudan's military general and de facto leader, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, rejected earlier this month the most recent reconciliation attempts with his rival paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Instead, he has affirmed his commitment to continuing a nine-month-long conflict with the RSF.

"The whole world witnessed these rebel forces (RSF) committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in West Darfur and the rest of Sudan," al-Burhan told troops gathered in Port Sudan in a video released by his office on Friday, referring to the ethnic cleansing in and around the West Darfur city of El Geneina.

"For that reason, we have no reconciliation with them, we have no agreement with them," he added.

He further stressed that the RSF "doesn’t seek the good for the country" and accused it of engaging in the looting of people's properties.

At the same time, he extended an invitation for dialogue with Sudanese politicians, urging them to dissociate themselves from the RSF and its leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
