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 Islamic Resistance in Iraq extended what it deemed a final opportunity for occupying forces to exit "sacred lands", emphasizing that similar chances were not granted in the past despite pleas and mediations before their defeat in 2011.

During that period, the Resistance's forces led the occupiers to the brink, subjecting them to paramount bombings and attacks, reducing their bases to ruins and rubble, a statement issued by the Iraqi Resistance read.

Recent events have unveiled a stark reality to the Iraqi people, allies, and other parties, the statement read, adding that the United States was showing no signs of weariness or deceit.

According to the statement, the US understands only the language of weapons, evident in its recent attacks targeting the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in al-Qaim, Akashat, and other locations.

The assassination of the prominent leader Abu Baqir al-Saadi in Baghdad further intensified the gravity of their crimes, violating all rules of engagement, the Resistance said.

The Islamic Resistance, represented by its declared factions, reaffirmed once again its commitment to its responsibilities towards its people, country, and the entire Muslim and Arab worlds under any circumstances.

In a call to arms, the statement urged its trusted allies to "acknowledge the faction's profound understanding of the cunning nature of the enemy, the battlegrounds they navigate, and the tactics required to humble the adversary."

The Resistance called on Resistance fighters to join the ranks of the resistance, preparing themselves for active participation in expelling the occupation during this historical phase for Iraq and the region.

Iraqi Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier Yahya Rasool stated Thursday that US forces "threaten civil peace and violate Iraq's sovereignty," following a "clearly identifiable assassination operation," via an airstrike in a residential neighborhood inside Baghdad.

Rasool's statement emphasized that the US forces' irresponsible, repeated actions are undermining agreements and risking Iraqi lives.

The statement further emphasized that this trajectory compels the Iraqi government more than ever to end the mission of the international coalition, which has become a destabilizing factor for Iraq, threatening to drag it into conflict.

"Our armed forces have no choice but to fulfill their constitutional duties to safeguard the security of Iraqis and Iraqi territory from all threats," Rasool stressed.

Several Resistance factions commented on the American assassination of a prominent leader of Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah, martyr Hajj Wisam Mohammed Saber (Abu Baqer Al-Saadi), on Wednesday night.

The US claimed responsibility for the attack, saying its forces conducted a unilateral strike in Iraq in response to the attacks on US service members, killing a Kataib Hezbollah commander.

Angered by the US aggression, Iraqis gathered at the scene of the attack furiously chanting against the US presence in the region, specifically in Iraq.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed that the targeted commander was "responsible for directly planning and participating in attacks on U.S. forces in the region." 

The Secretary-General of Kataib Hezbollah, Ahmad al-Hamidawi, saluted martyr Abu Baqer al-Saedi and conveyed his condolences to his family.

The Iraqi al-Nujaba movement underlined that its response to the "American treacherous crime" will be focused, affirming that such crimes shall not go unanswered.

"Await the response; we will choose the appropriate time and place," al-Nujaba vowed, addressing the US.
