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.

    This is Muttaqi's first visit of its kind to Iran since the Taliban came to power, following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Foreign Minister of the Taliban government, Amir Khan Muttaqi, announced Tuesday that he met in Tehran with Ahmad Masoud, leader of the National Resistance Front opposition movement, and Ismail Khan, a former Afghan Minister.

In a statement reported by the Afghan state television, Muttaqi said that anyone can come to Afghanistan and live without fears.

The statement comes at a time when Muttaqi led a delegation from the Taliban movement to Iran on Saturday and Sunday in his first visit to Tehran.

Muttaqi confirmed that he met with Ismail Khan and Ahmad Masoud and "assured all of them that they can come back to live freely and safely in Afghanistan."
