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 Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the United States and European powers have recently expressed growing concerns over "Russia’s escalating involvement in the Middle East conflict, particularly Moscow’s collaboration with Iran and its support for the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen."

According to Haaretz, the primary concern of the Americans and Europeans is that "Russia will leverage these tensions to advance its interests in the Middle East and support Iran and its allied organizations in their continued conflict with Israel."

A senior US official informed the Israeli newspaper that there are growing signs of "Russian involvement" in supporting the Axis of Resistance.

The official said that this was “not only evident in UN statements and votes but also in military cooperation,” especially after the visit of the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu to Iran “amidst the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.”

“Russian intervention worries us a lot, and it should worry Israel too,” one diplomat involved in the discussions with "Israel" told Haaretz, adding “We have been telling Israel for more than two years that cooperation between Russia and Iran will not stop at the war in Ukraine, but will ultimately hurt you as well.”

During his visit to Tehran on Monday, Shoigu condemned the assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, stating that "the perpetrators of this crime seek to escalate tensions in the region."

Shoigu expressed "Russia's readiness for full cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially in regional affairs."

In turn, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, who hosted Shoigu and his delegation, emphasized that Iranian-Russian relations are strategic, deep, and enduring, and will remain unaffected by changes in government.

Bagheri stated, "America knows very well that the world has moved beyond unipolarity," and expressed support for "trilateral cooperation between Iran, Russia, and China."
