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 said on Thursday that Iran is still working on a good, strong, and sustainable agreement, but stressed that America should avoid using vague language in the agreement's final draft.

According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, he discussed bilateral cooperation as well as the situation surrounding negotiations on the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.

"Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi exchanged views on bilateral, regional, and international issues, as well as negotiations on the restoration of the nuclear deal [JCPOA] and the lifting of sanctions against Tehran," the Ministry said on Telegram.

The US should avoid ambiguities in the draft agreement in order to restart the nuclear deal as soon as possible, according to Amir-Abdollahian.

The ministers also discussed the implementation of a comprehensive program of strategic cooperation between Iran and China, according to the statement.

Iran signed the JCPOA in 2015,  with the P5+1 group of countries (the United States, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom - plus Germany) and the European Union.

It required Iran to reduce its nuclear program and significantly reduce its uranium reserves in exchange for sanctions relief, including the lifting of the arms embargo five years after the agreement was signed.

The United States abandoned its conciliatory stance toward Iran in 2018, withdrawing from the JCPOA and implementing draconian sanctions against Tehran, prompting Iran to largely abandon its obligations under the agreement.

Last year, JCPOA parties agreed on two drafts of a new agreement, but no final agreement has been reached. Since then, the parties have held several rounds of talks in an attempt to resurrect the agreement.
