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 United States is attempting to impose conditions on countries to drag them into hostility with China, indicated Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, adding that "Washington acted poorly when it attacked the world."

Speaking during his weekly program, Maduro emphasized that the US has inflicted severe blows on global supply and logistics chains, impacting its own domestic economy. He warned that further side effects may emerge in the future.

Earlier this month, Washington imposed a 25% tariff on imports of Venezuelan oil and gas—a move analysts say could most severely affect China, Venezuela’s largest oil buyer.

The Venezuelan leader underscored that Washington must correct its course and abandon attempts to dominate and colonize the world, asserting that the 21st century has no place for imperialism or threats against nations.

He also praised the American people’s awareness, saying they understand the importance of building positive relations with China and the world and are demanding an end to hegemonic policies, as well as rejecting the stigmatization and discrimination of migrants.

Separately, Maduro announced the strengthening of the strategic partnership between Venezuela and the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), highlighting that bilateral ties have reached the highest levels of trust and mutual reliance.

He noted that Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez made a successful working visit to China to focus on the details of economic coordination between the two countries.

Maduro also confirmed that Venezuela has recorded 16 consecutive quarters of economic growth, highlighting a notable surge in commercial activity and harmonized growth across all economic drivers, with oil no longer being the sole engine of expansion.

The Venezuelan president added that entrepreneurship grew by 59% in 2024 and affirmed that his country has severed all ties with the International Monetary Fund and its affiliated institutions.
