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.

Yemeni Security Forces uncovered on Sunday extensive revelations regarding the Israeli-American espionage network operating to corrupt the social sector in Yemen. 

According to the confessions, the espionage network, led by the United States, aimed to corrupt Yemen's youth through programs such as Mercy Corps, AMIDEAST, and Building Youth Capacities in Conflict Resolution, implemented by a joint ground network. 

Another project, Leaders Network for Development, is implemented by the Yemeni “Renin” Organization, as well as other hidden projects to attract young leaders, are implemented by the US Agency for Development. 

All of the programs aim at recruiting Yemen's youth to provide information for the CIA. 

One of the spies stated that "the most important thing that the Americans were secretly gaining from this project was the polarization and recruitment of young men and women, the dissemination of Western ideas and values, and ensuring the influence of social figures and determining them at the level of the directorates."

Reportedly, this is done by implementing a common ground organization for the benefit of the US Agency for Development in areas controlled by the aggression in both the south of the country and Taiz.

The espionage network also aimed at promoting programs to establish "equality between women and men" that claimed to empower women in the country, but ultimately aimed at recruiting Yemen's women to gather intel for the US to be used to corrupt the societal and familial structure.

Tribes were also targeted, with several programs established to gather information about their structure, as well as recruit and polarize religious men and clerics. 

The network, moreover, targeted civil society establishments communities, and local councils, as well as minorities and marginalized groups such as the Bohra and Makarim claiming to “defend and support their rights,” to interfere in Yemen’s internal affairs and disrupt societal stability, while also carrying out a global communities project to “attracting social figures to create influence for American intelligence.” 

Yemen foils hostile espionage efforts

This comes after Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that Yemeni security services in Sanaa will broadcast confessions of members from an American-Israeli espionage cell that targeted the cultural aspect of Yemen.

On June 10, the Yemeni Security Forces uncovered a large espionage network operated by American and Israeli intelligence agencies. Officials revealed that the network had been active within various institutions in Yemen since 2015.

A security source told Al Mayadeen that the Cultural Attaché at the US embassy in Yemen targeted all segments of Yemeni society, through which cells were lured and recruited to collect information.

The source pointed out that the spy network's confessions would reveal that the US embassy was nothing more than a den of espionage and a tool for sabotage and that the Cultural Attaché at the US embassy in Yemen was linked to the US intelligence agency, the CIA.

Additionally, the source highlighted that Yemen has, in past phases, become a hub for destructive projects, with the previous regime contributing to this.

According to the source, the confessions will reveal the US efforts to execute hostile projects against Yemen by gathering detailed information and comprehensive surveys, which the US embassy heavily focused on.

Elsewhere, the source told Al Mayadeen that the information the security services will reveal from the confessions of the spy network is only a small part of the American effort to target the cultural aspect in Yemen.
