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.

Military drills conducted this week by Iran were intended to send a warning to “Israel”, Israeli media said on Saturday.

    Iran’s war games included firing ballistic and cruise missiles.

“Iran’s war games, which included firing ballistic and cruise missiles and a simulation of the Dimona atomic facilities, are part of a psychological warfare and a clear warning to "Israel"," says Israeli media.

Hezi Simantov [from the Israeli Channel 13 News] said that Iran has reported that it successfully practiced attacking the critical center of "Israel" in its missile exercise, adding that "these threats and reports must be viewed not only as part of the psychological warfare, but also as a warning, and a declaration of Iran’s readiness to confront a possible Israeli attack, which is still far away."

"A good deal means a bad deal for Israel "

The Israeli channel noted that “Iran flew various combat and suicide drones over the drill zone in the final stage of The Great Prophet exercise, stressing that Iran wants sanctions inconsistent with the 2015 nuclear deal to be lifted, which ensures a good deal for Iran and a bad deal for "Israel".”

Military exercises conducted this week by Iran were intended to send a warning to “Israel”, and to everyone who dares to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.

Earlier, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stressed that all hostile moves against Iran will be met with a comprehensive, decisive response from the Iranian armed forces, which will change the strategic equations remarkably.

It is noteworthy that the IRGC launched the first operation of accurate and medium-range Cruise missiles from a warship during the Great Prophet 17 maneuvers and carried out aerial operations of multiple purposes using drones.

Footage showed that the missiles, with a range of about 180 kilometers, accurately hit their targets.

Iran repeatedly stresses it only wants to develop a civil, peaceful nuclear program, but Western powers claim its stocks of enriched uranium could be used to develop a nuclear weapon, a claim repeatedly refuted by Iranian officials.
