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 United Nations General Assembly passed its annual resolution on Wednesday urging the United States to eliminate economic, commercial, and financial restrictions, according to Sputnik.

The resolution titled "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba" was supported by 187 countries. The United States and "Israel" voted against, with Moldova abstaining.

Since 1992, the UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution on a yearly basis to demand an end to unilateral US restrictions on Cuba, with the document having the support of a majority of UN member states.

Unlike the resolutions of the UN Security Council, those adopted by the UN General Assembly are nonbinding.

Cuba urges US to remove it from list of 'state sponsors of terrorism'

Back in May, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel called the United States to remove it from the "list of state sponsors of terrorism" following Washington's decision to remove the Caribbean country from the short list of countries deemed "not cooperating fully" on counterterrorism.

"By confirming what is already widely known, that Cuba cooperates in the battle against terrorism, the United States should do what is correct and consistent – to remove Cuba from the State Department's arbitrary list and end the coercive economic measures that accompany it," Diaz-Canel said on X.

The United States had dropped its claims that Cuba is not cooperating on terrorism. In a report to Congress, Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Syria, and Venezuela – were "not cooperating fully" on counterterrorism.

"Moreover, the United States and Cuba resumed law enforcement cooperation in 2023, including on counterterrorism," a State Department spokesperson said.

"Therefore, the Department determined that Cuba's continued certification as a 'not fully cooperating country' was no longer appropriate."
