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.

Leaders of the Caspian Five have agreed to use the Caspian Sea for peaceful purposes and ensure regional security, according to a communique adopted following the Wednesday summit.

Turkmenistan's capital, Ashgabat, hosted the 6th Caspian Summit with leaders of Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Russia in attendance.

"The presidents reaffirmed that the activities of the coastal states on the Caspian Sea will be carried out on the basis of the following principles: ... using the Caspian Sea for peaceful purposes, turning it into a zone of peace, good neighborliness, friendship and cooperation, resolving all issues related to the Caspian Sea by peaceful means," the communique read.

The presidents also confirmed the non-provision of their territory to other countries for aggression and adherence to the principle of non-deployment of the military of third countries at the Caspian Sea.

Iran will host the next summit of the organization.

During the Summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out that his country "has consistently called for boosting partnership relations between the five Caspian nations in the fields of politics, security, economy and environmental protection, as well as on many humanitarian aspects."

Putin pointed out that the strict adherence to the principles of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea would guarantee the region’s prosperity.

He considered that the five Caspian nations are responsible for preserving the Caspian Sea and ensuring sustainable regional development.

The Russian President also confirmed that "among the key tasks we consider further building up regional trade and investment ties, deepening mutually beneficial industrial and high-tech cooperation."

Putin mentioned that the volume of Russian trade with the Caspian nations is constantly growing, noting that in 2021, the trade turnover increased by more than a third, and in January-April of this year, it continued to grow.

The Russian President is scheduled to have a separate meeting with his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi.

The summit comes at a time when the West is aiming to shift away from Russian natural resources.
