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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Thursday that four more nuclear-powered submarines will be built as part of the country's current weapons program, ensuring the country's security for many years to come.

Putin stressed in a ceremony that the new submarines and ships would be outfitted with high-precision weapons and robotic systems, as well as advanced navigation, communication, and sonar equipment.

"I would like to point out that four more such submarines will be built under the current state armament program. This will ensure Russia’s security for decades to come," Putin assured.

Russian ballistic missile submarines, which are currently being developed and built, have many distinguishing features, while new submarines and surface vessels have modern navigation, communications, and sonar systems, as well as high-precision weapons and robotic systems, Putin detailed.

"We will increase the pace and volume of construction of ships of various projects, equip them with the most modern weapons, and conduct operational and combat training of sailors, taking into account the experience gained, including during a special military operation."

"In short, we will do everything necessary to reliably ensure the security of Russia and to protect our national interests in the oceans," Putin added.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the President revealed that the small rocket ship Grad Sviyazhsk is a new-generation project and that ships of this class have demonstrated outstanding performance in combat missions in Syria, as well as in Ukraine.

In a related context, local media outlets reported that the next Russian nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine "Emperor Alexander III" will begin running tests in June 2023.

The Borei class' seventh submarine was completed earlier in the day, Rossiya 24 broadcaster reported.

“All weapons systems of the submarine will be tested during the trials," the media outlet added.
