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.

"Terrorist groups in Iraqi Kurdistan want division in Iraq, Syria and other regions, and thus seek to divide the Islamic world," he believed.
 
Regarding the results of the Knesset elections in "Israel", the former Iranian minister said, "'Israel' might repeat its previous threats against Iran with the return of Netanyahu, but Tehran will not stand idly by. We have tested a new missile that reaches Tel Aviv in less than 7 minutes, and the target is Dimona."

Regarding the recent riots, Mottaki said, "The real guardian of the Islamic Revolution is the Iranian people, and it is natural for the people to have remarks criticizing the government's performance," stressing that "there were protesters in the recent unrest, and they must be separated from the rioters."

"The Iranian intelligence service arrested a number of rioters and obtained great information, which the Zionists thought would not fall into our hands," Mottaki stated, stressing that "the way our officials handled the events was smart and wise, and the security forces did not kill citizens."

"The West's foreign policy is subject to complete hegemony and dependence on US policies," he added.

It is noteworthy that Iran has recently witnessed demonstrations and riots that left dead and injured among the security forces and civilians. The events coincided with terrorist operations in the country. Tehran accuses Western countries of trying to ignite a strife inside Iran by supporting the riots.
