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.

Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani has received an invitation from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to visit Turkey.

A statement issued by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani received on Thursday the Turkish Ambassador to Iraq, Mr. Ali Riza Guney.

"The ambassador handed the prime minister a written letter that included an official invitation from Erdogan to visit Turkey, and Al-Sudani promised to accept it as soon as possible," the statement said.

In the meeting, the officials discussed bilateral economic relations and means of boosting them, as well as the dry canal project, and the formation of a joint committee to coordinate the stages of the project, according to the ministry.

The two sides also discussed "procedures to facilitate the granting of entry visas to Turkish investors and technicians working in Iraq."

In the letter, Erdogan expressed his desire to resume meetings of the Iraqi-Turkish Strategic Cooperation Council.

It is worth noting that this year has seen a lot of political and military tensions between the two countries.

In April, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Guney and handed him a "strongly worded" protest letter against the backdrop of the continuous breaches and violations of the Turkish army in northern Iraq. This came after Turkey launched an air and ground military operation in northern Iraq against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

The attack is part of an ongoing Turkish campaign in Iraq and Syria against the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and the PKK, which Ankara considers a "terrorist group".
