The new Iranian operational plan will not follow the rules they are used to.

The Iranian armed forces have prepared a response to any new adventure, which will be far more destructive than the 12-day and 40-day wars.

The reckless rhetoric and repeated threats currently coming from American and Zionist officials change nothing on the ground.

Things in Lebanon will not remain as they are; the equation in Lebanon will change, and this authority will not remain as it is.

Give us a state, and prove that you are a state, before you talk about the rights of the state.
حسن فضل اللهعضو كتلة الوفاء للمقاومة42 minutes ago · Lebanon Debate
We are in a defensive position, we are targeted, and our fate is threatened by this Israeli enemy. Because we have not so far found in Lebanon a state that bears its responsibility, we bear this responsibility and make these sacrifices.

We have crushed them, and we will eliminate what remains of Hamas and Hezbollah, but before everything the regime in Tehran must be toppled.

We also make clear that we act against Hezbollah whenever necessary, and in the end we will eliminate Hezbollah.
بنيامين نتنياهورئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي42 minutes ago · Lebanon Debate
No, I do not trust that they will disarm Hezbollah. That is why we said that as long as the group is not disarmed, we will remain in this zone that changed the reality of the north.

Mansour Abbas was a great partner compared to Qatar in the Prime Minister's Office. Why isn't he part of the government? Because he would only form a government based on Zionist parties.

Because Lebanon is a memory of crises liable to explode at any moment, and the fire that can burn Lebanon exists only in the hands of the executive authority that acts on behalf of the Washington-Tel Aviv security deal. It is a cheap, dangerous and highly sectarian game, so beware of it lest we lose Lebanon.
الشيخ أحمد قبلانالمفتي الجعفري الممتاز2 hours ago · Lebanon Debate
What the executive authority is doing is extremely dangerous; it is a war fuse directed at an entire sect, without distinction among its members. This requires us to be at the heart of defending our existence, our rights and our national partnership.
الشيخ أحمد قبلانالمفتي الجعفري الممتاز2 hours ago · Lebanon Debate
To whom it may concern, I say: the existence of an effective state is an urgent necessity, but this necessary existence is on the borders, the war fronts, and national, social and economic relief. A state that practices a policy of starvation, impoverishment, abandonment and strangulation against its own people is the last to have the right to speak of national justice, security presence and striking with an iron fist.
