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 eighth round of talks reportedly will resume again this week

A senior State Department official stated that the US is prepared to meet directly with Iran “if they are prepared to meet with us”, stressing that the US thinks that it would be very much in the interest of the JCPOA.

“On the issue of direct talks, we’re not – this is not a matter of seeking – asking Iran to do us a favor with direct talks.  If Iran doesn’t want to talk to us, that is, of course, their decision”, he added.

“We’re not begging for a meeting. That’s – if there’s no meeting, there’s no meeting.  We just think that it would be the logical step to take if in fact we are determined to do everything possible to get back into deal.”

An eighth round of talks regarding the restoration of the 2015 nuclear deal will reportedly resume again this week, after the diplomatic talks in Vienna paused for a few days to give delegations time to consult with their capitals.

Earlier, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian pointed out that the "negotiation process is on a positive track and Iran has the serious will to reach a good agreement as soon as possible."

He affirmed the need for "practical, tangible and verifiable measures" by the West and the US to prove a lasting and reliable agreement.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said that Iran has displayed its will and seriousness in reaching an agreement in the Vienna Talks, noting that the opposite party should make efforts, in this context, in ending the embargo, ensuring it, and securing guarantees in this regard."
