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.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) made an achievement on Saturday, firing an anti-tank guided missile during a successful test-firing, Iranian media reported Saturday.

The anti-tank missile, Sadid-365, has a whopping range of 8 km, and it is capable of destroying all kinds of armored equipment, said General Ali Kouhestani, the chair of the Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization of the IRGC Ground Force.

The missile, optically guided, is highly accurate, with a top attack system that enables it to strike its targets from above, Kouhestani explained.

The missile can pass through the barrier of active defense systems of tanks before swiftly destroying them, the Iranian official underlined.

The latest advancement made by Tehran comes after the IRGC on Sunday announced that it developed a new kamikaze drone capable of detonating targets within a range of 450 kilometers.

The new unmanned aerial vehicle, dubbed Me'raj-532, has been tested successfully, Kouhestani told Tasnim news agency.

Reportedly, the Iranian UAV has a piston engine and can travel as far as 450 kilometers in a one-way mission.

As for the launching mechanism, the drone can take off from a vehicle, and it can go as high as 12,000 feet with a flight time of three hours, the general explained, highlighting that the explosive-laden drone is highly accurate, with a payload of 50 kg.

According to Kouhestani, the drone is very easy to assemble and gear up for flight, making it a suitable option for rapid-response missions.

The UK's Defense Intelligence Agency claimed in February that Iran was emerging as a global leader in the production of cheap and lethal drones.

During a briefing in London, analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency claimed that Iran had turned from being a regional drone player in the Middle East to Russia's most significant military backer in the war.

In late December 2022, the Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Major General Ali Bagheri, underlined that Iran stands among the world's five leading countries in terms of drone capabilities.
