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 US House of Representatives approved a bill that allocates $300 million to Ukraine and funds defense spending for 2024.

Late on Thursday, the House passed the 2024 Defense Department spending legislation with a vote of 218-210, omitting the $300 million security assistance for Ukraine that had initially been included.

This funding for Ukraine was removed from the defense bill earlier on the same Thursday.

The $826 billion defense bill encompasses funding to counter China and strengthen Taiwan's defense, including speeding up the delivery of US arms to the region.

Nevertheless, the House subsequently passed a separate bill in a 311-117 vote, providing $300 million for additional security assistance to Ukraine. This bill also designates $20 million for establishing a new Office of Special Inspector General for Ukraine Assistance, tasked with reviewing and auditing Ukraine aid.

Notably, all 117 votes against the $300 million Ukraine aid bill were cast by Republican congressmen, while 101 Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure.

On Tuesday, the Senate moved forward with a brief spending measure, allocating approximately $6 billion for Ukraine.

The proposal is anticipated to face strong resistance in the House, where Republicans hold the majority, raising the risk of a government shutdown before the month's end deadline.

Despite receiving backing from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and others in the Senate, US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has expressed doubt about the bill's chances of passage in the lower chamber.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham made it clear on Wednesday that the party would withhold its support for a comprehensive 2024 spending budget unless it addresses significant measures to address the ongoing situation at the US southern border.

Should Congress approve the Senate's temporary spending bill, it would ensure the continued operation of the US government until November 17.
