Hezbollah: We pledge to remain in position of honor, dignity, and righteousness, to defend our land, our people, and the aspirations of future generations.

Hezbollah: We highly value patience of our steadfast and proud people, who endure oppression and aggression alongside us in the hope of preserving national sovereignty and dignity.

Hezbollah: From this perspective, we address current developments, reaffirming to all that this is the time to unify efforts to halt the Zionist violations, aggression, and escalation against our country

Hezbollah: Legitimate defense does not fall under framework of “decisions of war or peace”; rather, it is exercise of our right to resist an enemy that imposes war upon our land, refuses to cease its assaults, seeking to subdue our state.

Hezbollah: As a founding component of Lebanon, the nation we are committed to as a final homeland for all its children, we reaffirm our legitimate right to resist occupation and aggression.

Hezbollah: Negotiations [with "Israel"] carry no national interest and pose existential risks to Lebanon’s sovereignty and entity.

Hezbollah: Lebanon must not, under any circumstances, yield to aggressive blackmail or be lured into political negotiations with the Zionist enemy.

Hezbollah: With this savage enemy, backed by the American tyrant, there can be no room for maneuver or deceit.

Distribution of parliamentary seats by governorates in Iraq

As Iraq gears up for its upcoming parliamentary elections on November 11, 2025, competition is intensifying among over 7,000 candidates representing 31 coalitions, 38 parties, and 75 independent lists, all vying for 329 seats in the Iraqi Council of Representatives. Baghdad holds the largest share with 71 seats, followed by Nineveh with 34 and Basra with 25. The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) has disqualified more than 800 candidates under Iraq's Accountability and Justice Law or for legal violations, while also distributing over 1.5 million biometric voter cards since late September. Major political forces, including Prime Minister Mohammad al-Sudani’s Reconstruction and Development Alliance, Nouri al-Maliki’s State of Law Coalition, and Qais al-Khazali’s Sadiqoun List, are expected to shape the race; notably in the absence of Muqtada al-Sadr’s movement, which is boycotting the vote along with other key alliances.
