Netanyahu will be drowned in the blood of the people he condemned to starvation, murdered, and had snipers target with daily quotas just for pleasure.

Russian Foreign Ministry:

The meeting of the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Washington, mediated by the United States, deserves a positive assessment.

Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader:

Disarming Hezbollah is a dream that will never come true.

This is not the first time that some in Lebanon have proposed the disarmament of Hezbollah; but just as previous anti-Lebanese plans did not succeed, this time too it will not reach its goal.

Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader:

If Hezbollah lays down its arms, who will defend the lives, property, and honor of the Lebanese? Have the past experiences not been a lesson for some politicians in this country?

This process in Lebanon is only the desire of the United States and Israel. The US and Israel think they can bring another puppet to power in Lebanon; but this dream will never come true, and Lebanon will stand firm as always.

Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader:

The Islamic Republic of Iran opposes the disarmament of Hezbollah; because Iran has always helped the Lebanese people and resistance and will continue to do so.
