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.

The reduced US dollar influence in regional and economic transactions would decrease the Western dominance over the global economy, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated. 

During a meeting with the visiting Russian President's Special Aide Igor Levitin, Ali Shamkhani made the remarks in Tehran on Sunday. He mentioned that the reducing influence of the US dollar in regional and international economic transactions will disappear with the Western dominance on the world economy. 

The two sides discussed bilateral ties between Iran and Russia and the issues of mutual interests.

They also discussed the implementation of agreements signed by the senior officials of the two countries in various economic and banking fields, specially expediting the construction operation of the North-South Corridor.
