BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

According to Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, the victories of the axis of resistance have proved and revealed that the supposed image of deterrence shown by Zionists is actually false.

The chief of Hamas's Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, arrived in Tehran on Monday with a delegation from Palestine.

Raisi held a meeting with the delegation on Tuesday where he expressed that the axis of resistance is not only changing the balance of power in Palestine and in the region but also in the international arena.

"Today, the signs prove that the resistance is stronger than ever and its enemies are in a weaker position than ever before," he noted.

The Iranian president further said that even nations that once sought normalization with "Israel" have now realized the futility of doing so, and that resistance is the only way forward.

"Nobody has the slightest trust in the Zionist regime." 

The Iranian President asserted that any normalization with "Israel" is a betrayal of the Palestinian cause and resistance, detailing that the liberation of Palestine is at the core of Islamic issues.

He went on to say that the Resistance Front is spreading not just in Gaza and the West Bank, but also throughout the '48 occupied territories and among Palestinians living outside of Palestine.

Yesterday the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Ali Akbar Ahmadian met with Haniyeh in Tehran.

During the meeting, Ahmadian said that recent developments in occupied Palestine have terrified the leaders of the Israeli occupation. He also highlighted the role of resistance, labeling it as the "most effective strategy" to limit the occupation of Palestine in comparison to other approaches utilized in the past 75 years. The official also pointed to the battle of Seif Al-Quds, which resulted in strategic achievements for the Resistance. 

Ahmadian reaffirmed that "Palestine is the leading cause in the Islamic world," as he emphasized that "strengthening the unity of Muslims, especially that of regional players involved in resistance, will constitute the biggest blow to the Israeli occupation and its supporters."
