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.

The EU's foreign policy chief said on Wednesday he was hopeful the Iran nuclear deal could be revived "in the coming days" after receiving "reasonable" responses to his proposed text from Iran and the US.

"I am hoping that in the coming days we are not going to lose this momentum and we can close the deal," Josep Borrell said after an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Prague.

"It's clear that there is a common ground, that we have an agreement that takes into account, I think, everyone's concerns," he said.

The EU put forward on August 8 what it called a final text to restore the landmark 2015 agreement that was trashed by former US president Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden took office with the goal of restoring the agreement, believing it was the best way to constrain Iran's nuclear program and that Trump's withdrawal had done nothing but lead Tehran to accelerate its nuclear work.

The new proposal would see Iran get sanctions relief and be able to sell its oil again in return for severe limits on its nuclear program.

Three days ago, it was reported that Tehran is currently carrying out "a careful examination of the US response" to the proposed nuclear deal, and will be ready to submit a final response to the American's position once the examination is complete. 

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that the remaining issues in the negotiations are related to the lifting of sanctions, "which are a few, but they are fundamental, delicate, and decisive." He also said that Tehran could not specify a timeframe for responding to the US proposals regarding the nuclear agreement, considering that negotiations are so far proceeding positively.

Today was scheduled a meeting between Amir-Abdollahian and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow to discuss the situation around the JCPOA deal as well as Russian and Iranian projects in energy and transport.
