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.

    Rasoul Mousavi, the director general of the West Asia department at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, confirmed he held talks with the caretaker of Afghanistan’s embassy in Tehran, Abdul Qayyum Soleimani, about the recent Taliban announcement.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry official expressed Iran’s readiness to provide university education for Afghan women after the Taliban authorities implemented a nationwide ban on university education.

On Tuesday, Taliban authorities implemented a nationwide ban on university education for women, a move that comes just three months after thousands of women sat for entrance examinations for higher education across the country.

On Twitter, Rasoul Mousavi, the director general of the West Asia department at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, confirmed he held talks with the caretaker of Afghanistan’s embassy in Tehran, Abdul Qayyum Soleimani, about the recent Taliban announcement.

Iran condemns Taliban's decision to deprive women of university education

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani expressed on Thursday disapproval of the Taliban's decision to suspend university education for women students in Afghanistan. 

"The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a neighbor of Afghanistan that favors peace, stability, and development in that country, is sorry to hear about the obstacles being put in the way of university education for girls and women in Afghanistan," Kanaani said in a statement.

The Iranian Spokesperson said Tehran hopes that those in charge would immediately lift the ban and allow Afghan women to access education at schools and universities, so that female students would enjoy the right to education and assume a more active role in Afghanistan's development and prosperity.

Right after the Taliban took over power in Afghanistan, universities were ordered to implement new regulations that prohibited gender mixing in classrooms and entrances.

Prior to this announcement, there was already a ban set in place on girls' secondary education, which had already caused severely limited access to higher education.

Some officials said the ban was only temporary - that time was further needed to reform the syllabus according to Islamic principles.

Others have cited the lack of funds as another reason for the school closures.
