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.

On Sunday, Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah stated that the US embassy compound in the Green Zone in Baghdad has been serving as a military command center working against Iraq. 

The senior security official of Kataib Hezbollah (Hezbollah Brigades), Abu Ali al-Askari, emphasized on Sunday that the embassy is acting as a den of espionage, but some Iraqi politicians are brushing off the matter to keep their positions. 

He added that these politicians argue that it is merely a diplomatic installation that must be protected under international conventions.

“Shame on such politicians and their personal interests, which are seriously detrimental to the country...The fact of the matter is that these positions will disappear once invaders are driven out,” he expressed.

'Until the last soldier'

This comes as just two days ago, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that several rockets were launched at Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone during the early hours of Friday.

"A multi-rocket attack was launched at US and Coalition forces in the vicinity of Union III and the Baghdad embassy complex" without causing any reported casualties or damage, a US official said.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced it carried out 11 operations against US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria two days ago as well, in response to the Israeli occupation's crimes against the people of Gaza.

The Iraqi Islamic Resistance revealed in a statement that it targeted American bases using dozens of rockets and drones, directly hitting the intended target.

In a statement on Telegram, Abou Ali Al-Askari, confirmed that the Resistance operations against the US occupation will continue until the last soldier is expelled from Iraq.
