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.

Commemorating Holy Prophet (PBUH) Al-Mab'ath occasion, Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei underlined Iran's steadfast support for Palestine, denouncing Muslim states' silence in the face of Israeli aggression against Palestinians.

It is worth noting that Eid Al-Mab’ath marks the day Prophet Muhammad (Peace upon Him) was chosen as God’s messenger. 

"Mab'ath is the greatest gift that God has given to all mankind and it carries treasures that can ensure mankind's well-being in this world until the end," the Iranian leader stated.

These remarks were made when Khamenei addressed a group of foreign representatives, ambassadors, and participants of an international Quran contest in Tehran on Saturday.

“If the Islamic governments had stood firm on the issue of Palestine from the first day and resisted, the situation in the West Asian region would certainly have been different and the Islamic Ummah would have been stronger and more united today,” he added.

"In revealing the truth, we are not afraid of anyone and we defend the Palestinian nation in any way we can, and this has caused the enemy to launch Iranophobia," he also highlighted.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Khamenei criticized Muslim countries for remaining silent in the face of the  Israeli atrocities and aggressiveness against the Palestinian people, acknowledging that the aggression on Palestine is an aggression on the entire Islamic Nation.

Tehran “has no reservations in openly supporting and defending the Palestinian nation,” he further stressed.

Concurrently, he criticized Western powers' meddling in the internal affairs of various Muslim governments, stressing that while those Western states cannot manage their own internal problems, they interfere in the affairs of other countries.

“The situation has reached a point where America, France, and several other countries, claiming to solve the problems of Muslims, have given themselves the right to interfere in the Islamic world, while they are helpless and unable to solve their problems and manage their countries," the Iranian leader stressed.

Regarding Turkey-Syria Earthquake, Khamenei said, "This [quake] relates to all Muslims. It means that everyone should really feel pain, feel suffering from such things."
