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.

According to two European intelligence sources who spoke to Reuters, Iran is expected to deliver hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia in the near future.

The sources claimed that dozens of Russian military personnel are currently undergoing training in Iran on how to operate a short-range ballistic missile system. The sources further indicated that these satellite-guided weapons are likely to be used by Russia in its ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The Iranian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York responded to these claims in a statement, acknowledging the long-standing strategic partnership between Iran and Russia across various sectors, including military cooperation.

However, the UN mission emphasized that Iran, on ethical grounds, refrains from transferring any weapons, including missiles, that could be used in the Ukraine conflict until it concludes.

Iran dismissed such claims before

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani condemned in mid-July NATO's allegation during a summit in the US about Iranian military assistance to Russia as completely "unfounded" and "politically motivated". 

"Unfortunately, what we are witnessing in Ukraine is the outcome of NATO's provocative policies and moves with the centrality of the United States, and it is still ongoing," he said.

The Iranian envoy made note of the fact that Iran has always sought to stabilize and contribute to the process of establishing long-term security in both the region and the world.

He emphasized that Iran has never given Russia drones during the war in Ukraine and that it believes a political resolution of the issue is necessary to bring about permanent peace.

"As we have announced time and again, any attempt to link the war in Ukraine to the bilateral cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia is an act with only biased political motivations, aimed at legitimizing the interference and continuing the Western arms supply to Ukraine," he stressed.

During their summit at the time in Washington D.C., NATO leaders claimed that the DPRK and Iran were aiding Russia’s operations in Ukraine by providing direct military support to Moscow, such as munitions and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).
