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.

A flashback

Alexander Lukashenko has secured a seventh five-year term as the president of Belarus following a decisive victory in January's election.

Lukashenko received 86.8% of the vote, according to the official results released by the country's electoral commission.

“You can congratulate the Republic of Belarus, we have elected a president,” said Igor Karpenko, the commission’s head, during a press conference.

The electoral commission reported a voter turnout of 85.7%, with 6.9 million eligible voters. An earlier exit poll aired on state television had projected Lukashenko would win 87.6% of the vote.
