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.

    Russia on Zaporozhye NPP: Western media must end Russophobia.

The Russian Embassy in the United States has urged American journalists to abandon their "Russophobic" speculation about the attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power station (NPP).

"We call on the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] to condemn Kiev’s criminal acts and take urgent measures to prevent provocations at radiation hazardous facilities in Ukraine. As for American journalists - stop bawling Russophobic fabrications," the Embassy said on Sunday.

The head of the administration of the Zaporozhye Region, Yevgeny Balitsky, stated on Sunday that the IAEA is aware of the risks involved with the Ukrainian military shelling the Zaporozhye NPP but is not taking any practical action to prevent the attacks.

Earlier in the day, Enerhodar authorities stated that Ukrainian troops launched a nighttime attack on Zaporozhye NPP using an Uragan multiple rocket launcher, with shrapnel and a rocket engine falling 400 meters (1,312 feet) from the station's operating power unit.

According to Enerhodar's administration, if the unit is damaged, the lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens throughout Ukraine, Europe, and Asia will be jeopardized.

Zaporozhye NPP is located near Enerhodar on the left side of the Dnieper River. In terms of the number of units and overall installed capacity, it is the largest NPP in the European region.

The Russian military has been protecting the Zaporozhye NPP since March. The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the Russian military guarded the NPP to prevent nuclear and radioactive material escape. The NPP is currently managed by a Ukrainian operator, according to the ministry.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers have attempted to strike the plant many times, most recently on Friday.

According to the Russian Embassy in Washington, western media are spreading misinformation about the situation at the Zaporozhye NPP.

Russia rejects claims it uses Zaporozhye NPP as military base

Earlier this week, Russia refuted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's claim that Russian forces are using the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) as a military base, according to a statement issued by the Russian Mission to the United Nations on Monday.

“We strongly reject such allegations. We repeatedly stated that actions of our Armed Forces in no way undermine Ukraine’s nuclear security or impede the routine operation of the NPP,” it said in response to Blinken’s speech made during the 10th Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in the United Nations Headquarters.
