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 Iranian Shura Council speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, considered that "the defeat of the Zionist entity today is equivalent to its defeat in 2006."

In a post on his account on X, Ghalibaf said that Hezbollah "succeeded during the Arbaeen Operation in targeting the sensitive military and intelligence facilities of the Zionist entity," adding, "I salute the freedom fighter brothers in Hezbollah, the resisting people of Lebanon, especially in the southern suburbs."

حزب الله لبنان در عملیات اربعین با موفقیت اماکن نظامی واطلاعاتی حساس رژیم صهیونیستی را مورد هدف قرار داد؛شکست امروز رژیم هم‌تراز شکست در عملیات ۲۰۰۶ بود و نمی‌توانند این شکست را لاپوشانی کنند.

به برادران مجاهدم درحزب الله لبنان و ملت مقاوم لبنان بویژه ضاحیهٔ جنوبی درود می‌فرستم.

— محمدباقر قالیباف (@mb_ghalibaf) August 25, 2024

Earlier this morning, Ghalibaf, in a public session of parliament reaffirmed Iran's commitment to avenging the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, framing it as both a national and religious duty.

Ghalibaf warned that the "Zionist entity should brace for severe retaliation from the Iranian people."

Addressing the Israeli carnage in Gaza, specifically the harrowing massacre at al-Tabieen school in Gaza City, Ghalibaf condemned it as evidence of the Zionist entity's inhumanity, asserting that "the Zionists understand only the language of power."

He described the Israeli actions as war crimes against humanity. Elsewhere in his remarks, Ghalibaf called on Islamic nations to offer tangible support to Palestinian Resistance in countering these crimes.
