BREAKING
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.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has stated that the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip during the holy month of Ramadan raises concerns about what he described as the "most unprecedented disaster of the century."

He made the remarks in a letter addressed to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the head of the UN Security Council, the secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the foreign ministers of Islamic countries and other states.

Highlighting the prolonged Israeli war on Gaza, the top Iranian diplomat criticized the UN Security Council's failure to end the brutal aggression on the Palestinian territories. He called for "serious measures" to assist the people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Amir-Abdollahian condemned the UNSC's inability to halt the war against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, attributing it to the US' obstruction of the council's effective actions through frequent use of the "right of veto."

He asserted, “With the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, it is necessary for the international community to find practical ways and take serious measures to support the Palestinian people, immediately stop the military attacks against the Gaza Strip, and find a way out of the current dire situation.”

'Israeli policy of destruction in Gaza' 

He further emphasized that the Israeli occupation deliberately pursued a policy of destruction in Gaza by imposing a total siege on the Palestinian territory. The occupation has enforced a complete siege on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the Palestinians living there.

He added, “The persistence of genocide in the Gaza Strip and Rafah and war crimes in the West Bank, in addition to the Israeli occupation's prevention of the delivery of aid and food to the Gaza Strip and the regime's use of starvation against the residents of Gaza with the aim of prolonging the genocide and the massacre of women and children, has sounded the alarm of the most unprecedented human tragedy of the century."

Amir-Abdollahian stressed that one of the dangerous goals implemented by the Israeli occupation is the blocking of humanitarian aid to prepare the ground for a social and civil collapse, destroying all signs of Palestinian life and identity, forcing a large number of residents out of the Strip and West Bank to neighboring countries. 

He also reiterated Iran's strong condemnation of the Israeli crimes committed in Gaza and the West Bank, emphasizing that the international community and world bodies, particularly the United Nations, hold a responsibility to prevent such a crisis caused by the occupation.
