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.

The South Korean foreign minister Park Jin on Monday announced that his country will be discussing with Iran and the US the issue of frozen funds which have been affecting economic ties between Tehran and Seoul, in congruency with hopes that the nuclear agreement issue will be resolved soon.

"With regard to Iran, we want to have a mutually beneficial relationship, although we have some obstacles [with regard to] frozen funds. [South] Korea will discuss it with Iran and also with the United States," Park said during a press event alongside US counterpart Antony Blinken. "And in terms of JCPOA negotiations, we hope that this issue can be resolved as soon as possible." 

He added that there should be more dialogue and diplomacy in order to obtain a positive result from nuclear negotiations.

Within the same context of the conference, Blinken uttered his worries about the possibility of a nuclear test by North Korea, in addition to an increased frequency of testing weapons since the start of 2022. Blinken said that the US is willing to make military adjustments in response.

"We remain concerned about the prospects for what would be a seventh nuclear test over multiple administrations. We know that the North Koreans have done preparations for such a test. We are being extremely vigilant about that. We are in very close touch with our close allies and partners, starting with the Republic of Korea, also with Japan and others, to be able to respond quickly should the North Koreans proceed with such a test," Blinken said.

South Korea says North Korea launched unspecified projectiles

Yesterday, Sunday, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) has stated that they detected evidence suggesting that several projectile launches took place on the morning of June 12. 

Details about the revelation are unclear, including the location and where the launches were directed, in addition to the number of projectiles. There haven't been any reports of injuries, damage, or disruption.

The projectile launch, according to North Korea, is by the least intended to demonstrate the government's defense policy to counter US aggression, looking to gain more leverage against the background of future nuclear negotiations. 

This comes after a joint US-South Korea military exercise off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. It is thought that the newly elected South president Yoon Seok-youl will be taking a tougher stance against North Korea.
