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.

Iranian Foreign Minister, Hussein Amir-Abdollahian, publicly announced the willingness of Hamas leaders to release Israeli non-military captives they hold, adding that Tehran is prepared to collaborate with Qatar and Turkey to facilitate this release process.

"Hamas is prepared to release the [non-military] captives if 6,000 Palestinian prisoners are released in exchange," he said.

Iran's top diplomat reaffirmed Iran's pivotal role in promoting peace and stability, stating that Iran would not remain passive if the acts of the genocide of Palestinians continued.

Amir-Abdollahian slammed the United States for sponsoring the genocide, violating international charters and laws, and providing military and financial assistance to the occupiers.

He emphasized the necessity for the US to exert pressure on "Israel" to prevent the escalation of the war, urging that the aggression, the killing of civilians, and the destruction of life-sustaining resources end, labeling these acts as crimes equivalent to genocide.

On Washington's military assistance to the occupation entity, he underscored that such assistance, in addition to financial support, signifies participation in these crimes, necessitating international accountability. He warned against continuous assistance to "Israel" which is escalating its brutality in Gaza and the West Bank.

Furthermore, Amir-Abdollahian asserted that any attempt to normalize relations with the Israeli entity is bound to fail, clarifying that recent events in Palestine demonstrate that normalization cannot undermine the rights of the Palestinian people.

Highlighting Iran's readiness, the foreign minister stressed Tehran's commitment to playing a substantial role in advancing peace and stability in West Asia, pointing out the challenge of achieving a ceasefire amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

Lastly, Amir-Abdollahian stated that according to international law, Hamas’s actions are justifiable acts of self-defense against an occupying regime, noting that their operations come as a response to 75 years of occupation crimes. He also rejected attempts to label Palestinian acts as terrorism, stating that such efforts would not deceive free nations and the global conscience.
