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.

    Azerbaijan: We reject the allegations of any third party's presence near the Azerbaijani-Iranian border.

Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry denied in a statement on Monday any Israeli presence near the country's border with Iran.

This statement came in response to military drills carried out by Tehran in the northwest of the country near the border with Azerbaijan, as Baku is accused of using security forces affiliated with the Israeli occupation.

Leyla Abdullayeva, Azerbaijan's foreign ministry spokesperson, said on Monday that Iran's claims were baseless.

"We reject the allegations of any third party's presence near the Azerbaijani-Iranian border, such allegations are totally baseless," she said.

Abdullayeva believed that ending the "occupation of Azerbaijani lands," stopping Armenia's "illegal" actions, and ensuring stability and security in the region should be in the interest of Iran.

Last week, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev criticized Iran's military drills in an interview with Turkish news agency Anadolu, asking "why now, and why on our border?"

"Israel" came under diplomatic fire from Armenia during last year's conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh territory. The Zionist entity is a major arms supplier to the Azeri side. The conflict ended with a Russian-brokered ceasefire between the two sides.

Relations between Iran and Azerbaijan got complicated after the Azeri army held joint drills with Turkey and Pakistan, 500 kilometers from the country's border with Iran.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian stated during a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart that the current tensions between Iran and Azerbaijan are due to the presence of "Zionists and terrorists" in parts of the region.
