BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

The National Iranian Oil Company signed Tuesday with Russian Gazprom a memorandum of understanding in the energy sector that includes Moscow investing $40 billion in developing the Kish gas field and the northern Fars oil field, increasing the production of the lower Fars gas field, and developing six Iranian oil fields.

The Iranian and Russian firms signed the biggest foreign investment deal in the Iranian economy, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.

The Russians currently invest more than $4 billion in the Iranian oil industry, which is expected to see a ten-fold increase.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, revealed Monday that Russia handed Iran a draft agreement about comprehensive strategic joint cooperation between the two countries.

Putin is set to land in Iran today for talks with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan for a meeting on the Astana peace process.

Moscow, Tehran, and Ankara have been engaged in the Astana peace process for years now, a forum meant to bring to a close the war on Syria that has been raging on for more than 11 years.

Iranian-Russian relations and partnership have taken to new heights recently, especially in light of reciprocal visits, the signing of several agreements, and Tehran and Moscow seeing eye to eye on various issues.

Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said Monday that "Iran is an important partner of Russia. Relations are of a friendly nature, have a long history, and are developing very effectively in the widest range of areas. Both sides have plans to bring bilateral cooperation to a new level - the level of strategic partnership. A new interstate agreement is being prepared."
