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.

The Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades condemned the Israeli attack on Iran, calling it a "dangerous precedent" and pointing out "several dangerous factors that must be addressed."

In a statement, the Islamic Resistance group cautioned that "the assessment of the Zionist attack on the Islamic Republic [of Iran] must be subjected to several criteria, some of which may be of a technical nature, and this is to be determined by specialists after the dust settles and the events are clarified."

The Brigades pointed to several dangerous factors that must be addressed, the most important of which is "the use of Iraqi airspace to launch strikes on Iranian facilities, which were repeated in waves that lasted for hours."

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq - Hezbollah Brigades considered the assault "a dangerous precedent that Iran has not faced before," adding that "there is evidence indicating the use of Jordanian territory and the deserts of Hijaz as an air corridor," which "could not have happened without a prior agreement and premeditation by the Americans who dominate the Iraqi skies."

Moreover, the Brigades condemned the aggression against Iran carried out by "a rogue entity that is reckless and foreign to the region, which constitutes a blatant violation and a serious transgression that must not go unpunished under any circumstances," warning that if it does go unchallenged, "it will become permissible, and this rabid enemy will repeat it."

The group held the United States responsible for its recklessness in using Iraqi airspace, threatening that "it will pay the price for that," affirming that "this will be, with God's assistance, at its [rightful] timing and place, and the Zionists are not exempt from it."

It emphasized that "after they dared to attack Iran, they will surely dare to attack Iraq if they do not pay a hefty price for their aggression."

International and regional condemnations poured in following the Israeli aggression on Iran, calling it a violation of international law and Iranian sovereignty and slamming the attack as a provocation. 

During the early hours of Saturday, the Israeli occupation launched an aerial aggression against Iran, targeting its military facilities and bases. Preliminary reports and indications coined the attack as "weak", as minimal damage was inflicted. 

Iran has long warned "Israel" against any violation of its sovereignty, but amid the aggression, Iran's defenses were able to not only intercept the attack but also successfully thwart it and fully defend its territory.
