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.

Pyongyang stresses that Washington's plans to topple the North Korean government drove it to develop stronger defenses.

    DPRK said the US is setting up a NATO-like military alliance in Asia.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) accused on Sunday the United States of setting up a NATO-like military alliance in Asia, stressing that the US plans to topple the DPRK government drove it to develop stronger defenses.

"While blatantly holding joint military exercises with Japan and South Korea, the United States is making a full-fledged move to establish an Asia-style NATO," DPRK's Foreign Ministry considered in a statement on its website.

The ministry was referring to recent military exercises conducted by the US, South Korea, and Japan's forces.

It is noteworthy that the US also held exercises with South Korean forces - for the first time in more than four years - that witnessed a US aircraft carrier.

Pyongyang reiterated that such drills were conducted in preparation for a war aimed at overthrowing it.

The hypocrisy of the US rhetoric

The DPRK ministry highlighted that "This proves the hypocrisy of the U.S. rhetoric of 'diplomatic engagement' and 'dialogue without preconditions', while at the same time revealing again that there is no change in the U.S. ambition to overthrow our system by force."

"The reality ... makes us feel the need to make all-out efforts to develop even stronger power to be able to subdue all kinds of hostile acts by the United States," the ministry added.

This comes as the US and its Asian allies are concerned that DPRK could be preparing for its first nuclear test in five years and following a recent agreement between South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and US President Joe Biden to deploy additional US weapons in the region if necessary.
