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.

The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, arrived in Beirut on Saturday morning amid an ongoing Israeli aggression on the country.

He is the second high-ranking Iranian official to visit Lebanon since the start of the aggression after Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Upon arriving in the Lebanese capital on a flight that he landed, Ghalibaf indicated that the purpose of his visit was to convey a message of solidarity and support from the Iranian leadership, government, and people to the Lebanese nation and its Resistance.

He said that his visit was at the invitation of his Lebanese counterpart, Nabih Berri, and that he is delivering a message from Iranian leader and leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

“We always stand by the Lebanese nation and government and will be at their service in difficulties," he affirmed.

Later on Saturday, Ghalibaf is scheduled to leave Beirut for Geneva, Switzerland, where he will attend the 149th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), taking place from October 13-17.

He underscored that during the IPU Assembly, he will represent the voices of the oppressed people of Gaza and Lebanon, fulfilling his responsibility to support the Palestinian and Lebanese nations.

This comes amid an ongoing Israeli aggression across Lebanon, especially the country's southern and eastern regions, as well as Beirut's Southern Suburb, which has so far killed more than 1,200 people and displaced millions since September 23.
