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.

Tehran supports a unified and strong Iraq, which, in turn, contributes to Iran's strength and security, and urges its neighboring country to expedite the process of prosecuting the perpetrators of the assassination of martyrs Commander General Qassem Soleimani and PMF leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

"Iran supports a unified, independent and strong Iraq, as well as its support for the decision of the Iraqis to self-determination," said Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Wednesday during a joint press conference with his Iraqi counterpart Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein in Baghdad.

Iran's top diplomat also stressed "the need to accelerate the file of following up the crime of assassinating the leaders of victory."

"We discussed with the Iranian Foreign Minister a range of issues of concern to the two countries, and the security and border situation is part of the talks," Hussein said during the press conference, noting that "the Iraqi government has taken a set of measures to protect the border with Iran."
 
"The Iraqi constitution prohibits the use of Iraqi territory to attack neighboring countries," he stressed.

Hussein also added that the discussions addressed "Iranian dues related to the purchase of gas, especially since Iranian dues were part of the talks in Washington."

Regarding the commercial transactions and railway system between the two countries, Iraq's top diplomat said there are further steps that need to be taken, and reaching an agreement between Tehran and Washington is vital for Baghdad, in reference to American sanctions on Iran.

"There are steps in the file of railway link, and regional and international issues and the results of the visit to Washington related to the Iranian side were discussed," noting that "reaching understandings between Iran and America is important for Iraq."
