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.

US forces struck an anti-ship missile in Yemen that they said was ready to fire early Saturday, hours after the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) Navy struck on Friday a British oil tanker, Marlin Luanda, in the Gulf of Aden, setting it ablaze.

The US military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had carried out a strike on Yemen early Saturday morning on an "anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea and which was prepared to launch."

"Forces subsequently struck and destroyed the missile in self-defense," it added in a statement on social media platform X.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) released an update on Marlin Luanda's situation at around midnight, confirming that the vessel was still on fire hours after it was targeted.

In response to the US and UK aggression on Yemen, Sanaa announced that both countries' "interests have become legitimate targets" for the YAF.

The strike on MARLIN LUANDA marked the first time a UK ship had come under attack by the Yemeni forces.

Earlier, CENTCOM claimed that one anti-ship ballistic missile was from Yemen toward the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) in the Gulf of Aden, adding that the missile was "successfully shot down by USS Carney."
