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.

“Valuable and strategic” information has been taken from the French spies and individuals who were arrested for spying and aiding Western-fueled riots in the country, Masoud Setayeshi, the spokesperson for the Iranian Judiciary said at a press conference on Tuesday.

Setayeshi said the case of the French spies is significant and noted that the French nationals and the people connected to them are facing charges of espionage, assembly, and collusion with the intention to act against national security.

Accurate and swift investigations are being carried out into the case, he added.

According to the Iranian Intelligence Ministry, the duo attempted to foment instability and social disorder earlier in June when some teachers took to the streets in peaceful protests to demand fair wages and better working conditions.

Two French spies are shown entering Iran and participating in riots in a video released by local media.

Cécile Kohler, 37, and Jacques Paris, 69, entered Iran on April 28 as tourists but turned out to be spies for Western intelligence agencies.

In a video aired on Iran’s Arabic-language television news network Al-Alam TV on October 6, Kohler admitted being an “intelligence and operation agent of French foreign security service," and Paris admitted to DGSE's goal of exerting pressure on the Iranian government.

In the recording, Kohler and Paris were in Iran "to prepare the conditions for the revolution and the overthrow of the Iranian Islamist regime," as per their confessions.

Kohler could be heard saying that they intended to finance strikes and rallies, as well as employ guns "to fight the police," adding that they had large amounts of money in order to fund riots and strikes and purchase arms in an attempt to stir up chaos.
