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: 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.

    General chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, warns against any security and Border changes that threaten the interests of Iran.

The General chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, warned Thursday that "the Armed Forces will not tolerate any security and border changes that threaten Iran's interests," stressing that his country will respond "In a destructive manner to enemies if they made any miscalculations with Iran". 

At a military parade in Tehran, Bagheri said that, "Iran has many armed capabilities that have not been disclosed so far," noting that, "the presence of Zionists in the Gulf is illegal."

In his speech, he recommended that Azerbaijan and Armenia solve their problems through dialogue and peaceful means, noting that "Iran does not accept any war or change in borders, and will not remain silent about if it happens".

He added, "We expect our neighboring countries in the south of the Persian Gulf to keep an eye on the demonic acts and sedition of the Zionist entity, as its presence in the countries and waters of the Persian Gulf is illegal and destabilizing to the security and stability of the region," adding, "Iran is following and monitoring all the movements of this entity, and in case we sense the presence of any conspiracy or threat targeting us, we will respond firmly at it and its supporters."

In a related context, Mehr news agency quoted Bagheri saying, "exercises with the participation of the Iranian, Russian and Chinese naval forces will be held in the northern part of the Indian Ocean this fall," referring to the participation of Pakistan, Oman and other countries as well.

The spokesman of the Revolution Guard forces, Brigadier General Ramadan Sharif, said that "the Revolutionary Guard forces will hold a naval parade with the participation of 1,444 boats in Bandar Abbas," according to the Iranian Tasnim agency.

On Wednesday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that "the Islamic Revolution was not just a political loss for the forces of arrogance for a certain period of time, but a threat to the system of the Empire."

"One of the achievements of the war was the unity of the Iranian people, the Sacred Defense united the Iranian people," he added.

According to the Iranian designation, the "Sacred Defense" was the war that broke out between Iran and Iraq, from September 1980 until August 1988.
