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.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visited Hamas' office in Tehran this morning to extend his condolences following the martyrdom of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

During the visit, Pezeshkian met with Khaled Qaddoumi, Hamas's representative in Iran, and engaged in a dialogue with him.

Following his expression of condolences for Yahya Sinwar's martyrdom, the Iranian President delivered a pointed critique of governments and powers that advocate for human rights, democracy, and international laws. He argued that those who promote these ideals are often the same entities that violate them, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian struggle. 

He emphasized that the United States and the West support "Israel" and supply it with weapons to commit brutal crimes against humanity while the world stands idle.

In this context, the Iranian President asserted that recent global events illustrate a trend where "forces of arrogance" are pursuing authoritarianism. He emphasized that free people will resist such impositions and will not yield to oppression. Pezeshkian further underscored that the ongoing war transcends the martyrdom of individual figures, framing it as a broader struggle for justice and the protection of human rights. 

Commenting on how Iran would respond to a potential Israeli attack, he affirmed, "We will respond decisively to any Israeli attack in an appropriate and proportionate way."

In a statement from Kuwait, Araghchi stressed that Iran would take appropriate action in response to any Israeli aggression on the country.

Araghchi noted that the likelihood of the war expanding is significant, which could potentially result in a full-blown regional war.

He asserted that "Israel" aims to escalate the war in the region, and it is imperative for Iran to confront this looming catastrophe. 

Additionally, Araghchi highlighted the catastrophic situation in Gaza and Lebanon, stressing the urgent need to halt Israeli attacks. He reaffirmed that Iran remains committed to its policy of good neighborliness, emphasizing the importance of fostering strong relationships in the region while advocating for the protection of affected populations.
