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.

In a statement on Sunday, Iran strongly condemned the US-British aggression against Yemen, with Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani saying that the duo proved their support for war crimes and genocide committed in Gaza. 

"With such attacks, America and Britain seek to escalate tensions and crises in the region, and expand the scope of war and instability," he said. 

He further added that "certainly, this kind of arbitrary and aggressive military operation, aside from aggravating insecurity and instability in the region, will not achieve anything for these aggressor countries". 

According to Kanaani, the US and UK failed to "take immediate and effective action" to stop the bloodshed by "Israel" in Gaza.

Only serving the needs of 'Israel'

Yemen was not the only country under aggression by the West.

Earlier this month, Kanaani stated that US airstrikes on Iraq and Syria are aimed at fulfilling "Israel's" goals only, as the continuation of such actions threatens peace and security at both regional and international levels.
 
The United States alleged that it had hit over 85 targets linked to the IRGC and its affiliated forces in Iraq and Syria responding to the recent attack on a US military base in Jordan. 
 
In the ministry's statement on Telegram, Kanaani stressed that "US military strikes against Iraq, Syria, and Yemen only ensure the achievement of the Israeli regime's goals," adding that "such attacks involve the US government in the regional [conflict] more than earlier and overshadow the crimes of the Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip."
