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.

The United Arab Emirates will be supporting the United States' efforts to persuade OPEC+ member states to increase their oil production, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday, amid surging energy cuts after the US sanctioned Russia and cut off its energy imports into the US, heavily impacting oil prices worldwide.

"I think there was just an announcement a short while ago - I'm not sure if it's been made publicly yet - about Emirati support for increased production when it comes to OPEC plus," Blinken added.

Ambassador Al Otaiba: “The #UAE has been a reliable and responsible supplier of energy to global markets for more than 50 years and believes that stability in energy markets is critical to the global economy.” #OPEC

The top diplomat asserted that he thought it was important to stabilize energy markets to make sure there remained an abundant supply of energy around the world.

Washington has "a set of interests" with regard to Venezuela, which so happen to include the country's oil supplies and the "democratic aspirations" of the Venezuelan people.

"We have a set of interests with Venezuela. They include, of course, supporting the democratic aspirations of the Venezuelan people. They include securing the release of Americans who were unjustly detained there," Blinken said during a joint press conference with UK Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss.

"It's also true that we have an interest globally in maintaining a steady supply of energy, including through our diplomatic efforts," Blinken added in light of the US economy taking a blow due to its actions against Russia.

Polish proposal on fighter jets is complex

According to Blinken, Poland's proposal to send MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine was associated with certain complexities.

Warsaw had said it was ready to send its MiG-29 fighters to the US and deliver them to Ramstein.

Russia will suffer strategic defeat in Ukraine

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed he was sure Russia would suffer a strategic defeat in Ukraine despite making possible tactical gains, in a reiteration of President Joe Biden's words about the same topic.

"When the history of this war is written, Putin's war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger," Biden vowed Tuesday.

"Ultimately, I'm absolutely convinced that Putin will fail and Russia will suffer a strategic defeat no matter what short-term tactical gains it may make in Ukraine," Blinken claimed.
