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.

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh confirmed that the Vienna Talks are continuing as before and that "there is no deadlock in the Vienna Talks."

During his weekly press conference, Khatibzadeh stressed that Iran has made its political decisions for years and has decided to remain in the nuclear agreement, adding that Tehran is waiting to receive the Western parties' decision over its initiatives.

"The stronger the will of the United States and the three European countries, the shorter the distance to reach an agreement," he pointed out.

All sanctions must be lifted at once

Khatibzadeh explained that despite reaching some progress, there are still some pending files concerned with verifying lifting the US sanctions and the proposed guarantees of the nuclear deal.

He also noted that an agreement cannot be reached if an understanding of all the issues on the table is established, affirming that the Iranian government is seriously seeking to thwart sanctions by strengthening its independent and strong foreign relations with countries inside and outside the region.

The Iranian diplomat underlined that all sanctions that violate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and UN Resolution 2231 must be completely lifted, highlighting that the US must guarantee that it will not violate international laws again.

Regarding the US demands in the negotiations, Khatibzadeh described Washington as "not trustworthy".

It is noteworthy that an informed source told Iranian news agency IRNA that the Islamic Republic presented a new set of proposals in the Vienna talks and encouraged the other parties to do the same.

Iran concerned about developments in Yemen & Ukraine

As for the Ukrainian crisis, Khatibzadeh expressed his country's concern about the latest developments in Kyiv, inviting both sides to resolve their differences peacefully.

He indicated that Eurasia cannot tolerate any new crises, accusing the US policies in the region to have caused many wars and crises.

The Spokesperson also touched on the war on Yemen, considering the sides who supplied and sold weapons to the seven-year aggression on Yemen while shedding crocodile tears as actors in a theatrical play.

Read Iran's ancient history

In response to the statements of the Saudi Minister of Islamic Affairs, Abdullatif Al-Sheikh, who alleged that Yemen is suffering from an "Iran-supported kidnapping," Khatibzadeh said such statements cannot cover years of massacres against the Yemeni people, advising politicians to read the ancient history of Iran before making similar statements.

He also confirmed the absence of any new development in the negotiations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, reiterating Tehran's readiness to hold dialogue with Riyadh.

The top Iranian diplomat added that any party that makes miscalculations must bear the responsibility.
