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.

Following two suicide attacks near Kabul airport claimed by the "ISIS" movement targeting US soldiers,  several American political figures urged the resignation of US President Joe Biden.

According to Fox News, Nikki Haley, former Ambassador to the United Nations, and other Republican Party members called on President Biden to resign following the massacre at Kabul Airport.

Should Biden step down or be removed for his handling of Afghanistan? Yes. But that would leave us with Kamala Harris which would be ten times worse. God help us. #ItDidntHaveToBeThisWay #GodBlessOurTroops #AfghanistanDisaster

On another note, a NATO diplomat has urged the "Taliban" to investigate the "ISIS" network in Kabul after it released thousands of people from prison.

Senator Marsha Blackburn demands a collective resignation

In addition, the member of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, Senator Marsha Blackburn, demanded a collective resignation of senior US officials. In her statement, she mentioned President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's statement

Moreover, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, issued a statement strongly condemning the terrorist incident outside Kabul airport.

As we pray for the lives lost, the many injured and their families, Congress and the Country are grateful to our military, diplomatic and intelligence communities for their courage and patriotism. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/7Z1Xlfin0f

— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) August 26, 2021

"With the assistance of the US military and allied forces, more than 100,000 people have been evacuated from Afghanistan since the end of July," she said.

Pelosi also stated that Congress is profoundly worried about the security and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, adding that while working with Biden's administration to stabilize the situation, Congress must always remain informed. As a result, she requested the Executive Branch to continue to brief its members.

According to CNN, President Joe Biden is preparing for the repercussions, after the horrific threats of a terrorist attack on Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, were materialized.

An explosion was confirmed near Kabul Airport in the Afghan capital by a Pentagon spokesperson. Initial reports indicated that the blast was caused by a suicide bombing, according to Reuters, citing a US official, before a second explosion was reported.
