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.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Thursday that "part of the recent events in Iran were peaceful protests, and we support them."

In a telephone conversation with his Irish counterpart Simon Coveney, Amir-Abdollahian added, "According to the Iranian constitution, we consider the peaceful protests in support of demands as a legal right of the people, but there are rioters who, instigated from abroad and foreign TV channels, damaged public property and attacked people and police forces," noting that "these people will be referred to the courts."

"The scientific, technical, and accurate forensic report on the causes of Mahsa Amini's death will be published soon," he noted.

"You should not forget that the Internet was cut off during internal events in the United States, and the former US president's personal social media accounts were suspended under the pretext of preserving national security," he added.

The Iranian Foreign Minister also pointed to the West's double standards on human rights and women's rights, stressing that "women's rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran are given much importance," stressing that "women play an important role in various fields, such as science, medicine, education, and technology."

Commenting on the recent riots in Iran, Coveney said, "Iran's interest in the people's peaceful demands is given importance."
