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.

    Iran summons British Ambassador

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the British Ambassador to Tehran on Sunday in response to a violent group's attack on the Iranian Embassy in London, which resulted in disrespect for the Iranian national flag.

The British Ambassador was reminded of the country's obligations under the Vienna Conventions of 1961 and 1963.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry also strongly condemned the UK's failure to prevent this heinous attack.

For his part, the British Ambassador expressed regret over the incident and promised to convey Iran's protest to his respective government.

This is the fourth summoning of the UK ambassador to Tehran in the last two months.

Earlier, in a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced sanctions against British entities "due to their intentional actions in supporting terrorism and terrorist groups, promoting and inciting terrorism, violence, and hatred, and violating human rights."

The sanctioned entities' measures have led to "riots, violence and terrorist acts" against the Iranian nation, according to the Ministry, which also reminded the British government of its international commitments to confront terrorism, hatred, and human rights abuse.

London, instead of sticking to its claimed commitments, rather facilitated the entities' measures, amounting to a gross violation of the UK's commitments.

The statement pointed to 3 entities and 9 individuals, now blacklisted in Iran. The entities in question are the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), as well as Volant Media, Global Media, and DMA Media and anti-Iranian TV channels that they support namely, BBC Persian and Iran International.

Earlier this year, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the UK Ambassador on September 25 to protest London's hosting of anti-Iran media in Persian.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the UK Ambassador to Iran in response to hostile reporting by Persian-language media located in London against Iran.
