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.

Masses gathered in front of the French embassy in Tehran and denounced Charlie Hebdo's "sacrilegious caricature" which insulted Iranian figures as well as the sanctities of Muslims on several occasions. 

According to one of the demonstrators, the protest was arranged at the request of Senior Iranian Cleric Hossein Nuri Hamedani in Tehran and Qom in order to voice their refusal of discriminatory messages by the French magazine.

Furthermore, protestors chanted slogans in support of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

French papers accused of 'unethical coverage' of Morocco earthquake

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, on January 4th, slammed French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo over caricatures intended to offend religious and political Iranian authorities.

The cartoon which was widely circulated intentionally demonizes Iran in light of the Mahsa Amini riots that have been manipulated to fit the West's agenda and its aspirations to fulfill regime change in Iran. 

"The insulting and disgraceful act of a French magazine in publishing cartoons against religious and political authorities will receive a decisive and effective response," Amir-Abdollahian said in a post on his Twitter account on Wednesday.

He further warned French authorities to "cut their coats according to the cloth available," meaning that he is calling them to make plans and decisions based on what they have and not what they would like.

"They have definitely stepped on the wrong path. We have already put this magazine on the sanctions list," the top diplomat further added.
