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 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had earlier said it was actively consulting with all parties on sending a mission to the ZNPP as soon as possible.

On Wednesday, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the Zaporizhzhia Region administration, told Sputnik that a Ukrainian sabotage group was plotting a terrorist attack at the Zaporozhye NPP during the visit of the IAEA expert mission to show that Russia is unable to provide security.

The official confirmed yesterday that the sabotage group has been detained in Enerhodar and revealed Thursday that the soldiers were trained abroad, and the operation was carried out under the control of British special services.  

Earlier in the day, local authorities reported that 60 Ukrainian paratroopers tried to seize the ZNPP. The majority of Ukrainian soldiers were neutralized, while 12 remain blocked.

"According to the information I have from sources close to [Ukrainian Presiden Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, the people who participated in the attempt to seize the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant were trained by the British and Polish intelligence services and literally returned to Ukraine through Odesa in late August," Rogov told Sputnik today.
