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.

Majid Takht Ravanchi, Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, blasted the UNSC for its silence over the Israeli attacks on Syria's sovereignty.

During a security council session, Ravanchi stated that the aggression of the Zionist state is condemned by Iran, as well as the regime’s targeting of civilians and civil infrastructure, including Damascus international airport.

Ravanchi highlighted that according to a UN report, 14.6 million people would require humanitarian aid in 2022, and although ensuring emergency humanitarian provisions in Syria is essential, this must be done with "full respect for Syria's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national unity."

He shed light on the Astana talks on Syria and the need to increase humanitarian assistance.

Additionally, the Iranian representative also detailed how Iran supports the Syrian cooperation with the UN and emphasized the importance of cross-border aid delivery and that this must happen in coordination with the Syrian government.

"This will help prevent aid from being diverted to terrorist groups. We emphasize the need for facilitating the safe, dignified, and voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their original place in Syria while respecting their right to return."

Additionally, Ravanchi commended the recent declaration of amnesty for all Syrian nationals convicted of crimes before April 30, 2022.

He also highlighted the "significant role of the Constitutional Committee in facilitating the political settlement of the Syrian conflict."

Regarding the Israeli violation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Ravanchi blasted the UN for its continued silence on the matter.

He stated that "these Israeli malign and terrorist acts violate international law, international humanitarian law, Syria's sovereignty, and jeopardize regional stability and security. We recognize Syria's legitimate right to defend itself in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter."

He also called on the "Security Council to abandon its double standard and condemn the repeated Israeli acts of aggression unequivocally, holding this lawless regime accountable for its aggressions and malicious activities."
