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.

Interim Iranian President Mohammad Mokhber said Saturday during a phone call with Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah that Iran's strategic support for Resistance groups, particularly Palestinian factions, will remain unwavering following the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raisi.

Mokhber emphasized that the core policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in backing the Resistance Front, especially Palestinian Resistance groups, would not change, even with the loss of key leaders. 

He highlighted that President Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who passed away in a helicopter crash last week, were deeply committed to supporting the resistance and advocating for the inalienable rights of Palestinians.

"The basic strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in backing the Resistance Front, especially the Palestinian resistance groups, will not be altered by the change of people," Mokhber asserted.

He also identified resistance as the most effective method to counter Israeli crimes and aggression.

Both Raisi and Amir-Abdollahian had been staunch defenders of Palestinian rights on a regional and international level, consistently appreciating the resilience of Palestinians against Israeli occupation.

In response to Mokhber’s assurances, Al-Nakhalah extended condolences to the Iranian government and people, expressing confidence in Iran's ability to overcome the tragedy due to its capable leadership and revolutionary spirit.

"Martyr Raisi and martyr Amir-Abdollahian were always on the frontline in defending the interests of the Iranian nation and supporting the resistance," Nakhaleh remarked.

The city of Tabriz, the capital of Iran's East Azerbaijan Province, bid farewell on Tuesday to President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and their companions.

At the first funeral stop, hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathered to bid farewell to the bodies of the deceased.

Following Tabriz, the bodies will be taken to Qom, then to the capital, Tehran, before reaching their final destination in Mashhad. There, they will be laid to rest next to the shrine of Imam Ali Ibn Mousa al-Rida.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent conveyed the prevailing atmosphere of sorrow in Mashhad and other Iranian cities and provinces. She confirmed that testimonials from the people corroborate the late Iranian president's dedication to the country's youth and prospects, his closeness to the Iranian populace, and notably his visits to engage with them and hear their demands.
