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.

Despite all arbitrary US sanctions on the country, the Iranian military capabilities are continuously advancing, as Tehran is set to unveil new, advanced missiles soon.

    A long-range S-200 missile is fired in a military drill in the port city of Bushehr, Iran, on December 29, 2016.

The Iranian Air Defense Force will unveil new missiles with a range of 300 km soon, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Defense Force Brigadier General Alireza Elhami said on Sunday.

Increasing the missile capability of the army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is one of the requirements of deterrence, he explained.

"The only way to counter all sanctions and threats is to become stronger in all matters, especially in the military field," Elhami said in a meeting with some forces within the Iranian Armed Forces, the IRGC, and the Islamic Republic of Iran Police Force.

"Increasing the missile capability of the army and the IRGC is one of the requirements of deterrence and protection of national interests, which must be further enhanced," he added.

Elhami also revealed that the missiles with a range of 300 km would be unveiled by the Air Defense Force in the near future. "The development of missile capability is a symbol of self-reliance and independence."

The senior defense official also said Tehran's armed forces were capable of observing, identifying, and tracking all aircraft, drones, and fighters within the air borders of the country, especially in the Gulf, adding that any threats to Iran would merit a decisive response.

Israeli media reported in early June about the latest message sent from Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei, in which he mentioned "revenge", noting that his words obliged the entire state apparatus in Iran to adhere to the implementation of this commitment, "and Israel is aware of that and does not underestimate the issue."

"All the Israeli operations that took place on Iranian soil will not stop Iran from moving in two pivotal areas: nuclear capabilities and armament, as well as the means of posing a threat on land," retired Israeli Major General Eitan Dangot told Israeli Channel 12.

According to IRGC commander Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the opponents of the revolution are diminishing, and Iran is progressively becoming a global power.
