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.

    US intelligence plans to use extremists in Latakia and Damascus against Syrian, Russian, and Iranian troops.

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) revealed Tuesday that the United States intends to launch a media campaign to trigger actions in Syria.

"The information received by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service proves that the US administration aims to maintain the American presence in Syria, preventing the stabilization of the situation in this country," the Russian Intelligence pointed out in a statement.

According to the SVR, the US intelligence plans to use extremists in Latakia and Damascus to organize targeted actions against Syrian, Russian, and Iranian troops.

"To achieve their goals in Syria, the Americans are actively using their close contacts with the so-called armed opposition, and in fact with radical Islamist groups," the statement read.

The statement also explained that the "US intelligence agencies plan to direct the ‘sleeper cells’ of extremists in the city of Damascus, the adjacent region, and the province of Latakia to carry out targeted actions against members of the Syrian law enforcement agencies, as well as the military personnel of Russia and Iran."

US takes part in illegal oil trade

As part of its illegitimate presence in Syria, Washington actively participates in the illegal shadow trade of Syria's oil, as US troops accompany oil trucks from occupied territories of northeastern Syria to Iraq's Kurdistan, then about a third of the stolen oil is sold for $35-40 per barrel, the SVR statement revealed.

According to the statement, "up to 3 million barrels of raw materials are extracted from fields in the provinces of Al-Hasakah, Al-Raqqa, and Deir Ezzor every month."
