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.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi said that his country is going through a "political crisis that may be the most difficult after 2003," according to the Iraqi News Agency.

"Iraqis and their honorable guests commemorated the fortieth anniversary of Imam Hussein, his family, and his companions, and the Iraqis conveyed a message about the meanings of patience, redemption, and sacrifice in their most wonderful forms, and they gave the world lessons in hospitality and courage," al-Kadhimi said in a statement on Saturday.

Al-Kadhimi also thanked Iraq's security forces who are "still deployed throughout Iraq to pursue terrorists, and while providing at the same time protection for visitors."

He went on to say that Iraq has received millions of visitors in these exceptional circumstances, but "we were able to responsibly offer the best that can be. We do not hide from our patient and capable people that Iraq is going through a political crisis that may be one of the most difficult crises after 2003, but we have hope and determination to find solutions to overcome this crisis, in order to cross and move towards a secure and stable Iraq."

Al-Kadhimi called on all political forces in Iraq to "be inspired by the occasion of the Arbaeen of Imam Hussein."

Millions of Muslims around the world have commemorated the Arbaeen, the event commemorating the 40th day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad, in Karbala. Iraqis and visitors from various Arab and non-Arab nationalities revive the narrative in the city where he was martyred around 1,400 years ago.

Over the past two weeks, to ensure the safety of visitors, Iraqi authorities deployed tens of thousands of army, police, and security forces, in addition to army helicopters, under the supervision of ministers of interior, defense, and national security, and other leaders in the military. 

Iraq has been suffering from a political crisis that has recently escalated with the resignation of the Sadrist bloc's deputies from Parliament. Later, the Iraqi government announced the start of the national dialogue between the political forces to resolve the crisis.

The first national meeting was held at the Government Palace in Baghdad, on August 17, in the presence of the three presidencies and leaders of political forces with the exception of the Sadrist movement.

It is worth noting that calm returned to Iraq after the Sadrist movement's supporters withdrew from the Green Zone and the Coordination Framework ended the sit-in of its supporters in the capital, Baghdad.
