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.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the nation’s defensive capabilities and deterrent strength have evolved to such a level that no entity would dare contemplate an attack on its territory.

He asserted, "Our land, air, naval, and army forces, along with all those committed to defending this country, have mobilized to ensure that not a single inch of our territory falls into the hands of the enemy."

During his speech on Saturday at the military parade marking the anniversary of Sacred Defense Week, President Pezeshkian stated, "With the presence of our combat forces and the strength of our army, no power in the world could hinder the continuation of our revolutionary path."

He noted that Iran can stand proud due to the presence of its leaders, as well as the strength and dedication of its military, army, and navy.

Pezeshkian highlighted that the greatest sacrifices were made across the country during the years of the Iran-Iraq war, known in Iran as the Sacred Defense, emphasizing that "the enemy was driven to despair."
