BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi says Trump nearly sealed a “new historic” nuclear deal and accuses the Israeli regime of fabricating threats to Iran’s defense.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that “if US President Donald Trump had read the minutes of the discussions with envoy Steve Witkoff, he would have realized how close we were to celebrating a new and historic nuclear agreement.”

In a post on X, Araghchi affirmed that while “buildings and machines can be destroyed, our will shall never be shaken,” adding that “continuing down this path of miscalculation will solve nothing.”

He explained that with the failure of that “adventure,” “Israel” is now attempting to fabricate a “false threat” about Iran’s defensive capabilities, stressing that “there is no solution other than a negotiated settlement.”

Upon embarking for a 5th round of talks with @SteveWitkoff on May 23, I wrote:

"Zero nuclear weapons = we DO have a deal.
Zero enrichment = we do NOT have a deal."

If POTUS was to glance at the minutes of those talks—recorded by our interlocutor—he would see just how close we…

Araghchi reaffirmed Sunday that Tehran continues to seek a fair and balanced diplomatic resolution to its nuclear file, criticizing Western powers for derailing negotiations through “unreasonable” and “excessive” demands.

Speaking during a meeting with ambassadors and heads of foreign missions in Tehran, Araghchi outlined Iran’s position following recent Western moves at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the activation of the “snapback mechanism,” a move that reimposed international sanctions on Iran.

‘Snapback’ complicates diplomacy

Araghchi stressed that Iran’s approach has always prioritized dialogue over confrontation, adding that both military threats and political pressure have repeatedly failed to resolve the issue.

“Experience has proven that tere is no solution other than a diplomatic and negotiated solution to Iran's nuclear program,” he said.

“In recent years, there have been repeated threats of military attacks, but this approach has failed to resolve any issues. The Europeans also threatened to trigger the snapback mechanism, but like the military option, this measure has proven ineffective and has only made the negotiation process more complicated and difficult,” he emphasized.
