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.

A source close to the Iranian negotiating delegation in Vienna confirms that Tehran has not abandoned its demand for the IRGC to be removed from Washington's "terrorist blacklist".

Iran is so adamant about removing Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) from the US "terrorist blacklist", IRNA said citing a source close to Iran's nuclear-negotiating team.

This statement comes in response to the Wall Street Journal's report which claims that Tehran has dropped its demand that the IRGC be removed from Washington's "terrorist blacklist" in exchange for sanctions relief in order to complete the stalled efforts to restart the nuclear deal.

Iran has “good intentions” and is “serious” about reaching an agreement to revive the nuclear deal, IRNA said.

Iranian top nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani said Wednesday that the goal of the negotiations is to determine the conditions for the US' return to the nuclear agreement.

The US cannot set the conditions for Iran, which is a member of the agreement, he added.

Kani stressed that the round of negotiations in Vienna is a test of the seriousness and realism of Washington to reach an agreement.

The ball is in Washington's court to save Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, Kani tweeted ahead of his trip to Vienna, where Iran and the US will resume indirect talks to try to secure the pact.

"Heading to Vienna to advance the negotiations. The onus is on those who breached the deal & have failed to distance from ominous legacy," Bagheri Kani tweeted.

The United States and Iran resumed indirect talks regarding the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal in Vienna on Thursday. 

US officials are concerned that the nuclear deal is on the verge of becoming obsolete, as Iran has taken efforts to advance its nuclear program following the adoption of a politically-motivated anti-Iran resolution by the UN.
