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.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has voiced his kingdom's keenness for the reconciliation talks to enter the political stage.

During a weekly press conference on Monday, Kanaani stated that Iraq's foreign minister Fuad Hussein had contacted his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian following the recent summit between Arab leaders and US President Joe Biden in Jeddah in mid-July.

Commenting on the “good and promising results" of five rounds of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia hosted by Iraq, Kanaani said that the top Iraqi diplomat told his Iranian counterpart that bin Salman announced on the sidelines of the Jeddah summit that Riyadh is ready for official political negotiations with Iran to start in Iraq.
