BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

  • Iran's oil exports increasing despite sanctions: Minister

In an interview for IRNA on Friday, Iran’s oil minister Javad Owji disclosed that energy diplomacy with Asian, African, and Latin American countries helped Iran expand its oil market and promised that great news on oil sales is soon expected. 

According to the Minister, Iran's oil exports increased to 1.9 million barrels per day (bpd) in May, citing President Ebrahim Raisi.

In early June, Owji stated that those who imposed sanctions on Iran believed they could stymie Iran's growth and advancement by using the terroristic weapon of sanctions, despite the fact that it is a double-edged sword with which they must contend.

Owji added that foreign agencies that monitor the countries' oil exports have recorded an increase in Iran's output and exports.

Last week, Reuters released a report detailing that Iran's crude exports and oil output will reach new heights in 2023 despite US sanctions, contributing to world supply at a time when other producers are cutting output.

E3 warns may reimpose sanctions on Iran over stalled nuclear talks

Tehran's oil exports have been restricted since former US President Donald Trump abandoned a 2015 nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions aimed at limiting oil exports and the related revenue to Iran's government in 2018.

Nonetheless, exports have increased during the presidency of his successor, Joe Biden, according to the research.

According to Kpler, a flow data company, Iranian oil exports hit 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in May, the highest monthly rate since 2018. Prior to the United States' exit from the nuclear accord in 2018, they were at about 2.5 million bpd.

The International Energy Agency estimated Iran's May output at 2.87 million bpd, which is close to the country's official figure.

The hike from Iran comes as OPEC+, which comprises OPEC, Russia, and other partners, is limiting supply to stabilize the oil market, where fears of economic weakness have pushed up prices.

According to some observers, Iran's production and exports have increased. According to SVB International, petroleum output reached 3.04 million bpd in May, up from 2.66 million bpd in January. In May, oil and condensate exports totaled 1.93 million bpd.

Before the 13th (current) government took office in early August 2021, Iran had 87 million barrels of gas condensates in storage offshore and onshore, according to Owji, who described the situation as an Achilles' heel since they were difficult to sell.

The 13th administration, on the other hand, sold the stockpiled gas condensates and is now selling about 800 barrels generated per day despite the harshest penalties, he concluded.
