The formation of the Supreme Defense Council indicates that Iran is preparing for a broader, possibly imminent war scenario that may be far more expansive than previous skirmishes. The stated goal is to accelerate defense decision-making and to create a wartime governance structure capable of acting quickly and cohesively. What remains to be seen is how much authority Pezeshkian truly holds within this redesigned system and whether this restructuring signals strategic confidence or a reaction to deeper internal crises.

🇮🇷 | The Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology, Sattar Hashemi, has announced that a fiber-optic factory built recently in Venezuela has begun operations. This follows a November 2024 agreement between Iran and Venezuela to build the plant in the La Guaira region, backed by a $10 million investment from an Iranian knowledge-based company. The factory is intended to reduce Venezuela’s reliance on imported fiber-optic equipment and serve as a regional supplier, reflecting the deepening technological and industrial cooperation between the two countries amid broader efforts to strengthen their bilateral ties.

The statement by the Secretary-General of Hezbollah shows that the party will stand firm against the disarmament plan. The position of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah was firm, and the Amal Movement along with Nabih Berri supported the party’s stance. Those seeking to disarm Hezbollah believe they can continue down this path after the blows the party has endured.

🇮🇶 | 🇮🇶 Secretary-General of Iraqi Resistance: Kataib Hezbollah, Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi:

• “Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani’s decisions have become unbalanced and contrary to foundational principles. I call on the leaders of the Coordination Framework to impose restraints on him.”

• “It is vital to confront these decisions and protect Iraq and its sacred sites until the end of Sudani’s term on November 11.”

• “I recommend the formation of a specialized committee within the Coordination Framework to investigate the incident involving the Ministry of Agriculture and uncover the full truth.”

• “Surveillance footage and testimonies from the officers responsible for securing the building must be utilized in this investigation.”

• “We reject any form of settlement. The law must take its full course, and all perpetrators regardless of who they are must face justice.”

• “We must investigate the reasons and motivations behind the arrest and severe torture of civilians at the al-Saqr military base.”

🇱🇧 | Key statements by Hezbollah MP Dr. Hussein al-Hajj Hassan:

• The Lebanese government has shown it is not a government for all Lebanese by deciding to task the army with developing a plan to confine weapons to state control.

• Since its formation, the government has not convened even once to discuss israeli attacks on Lebanon.

• Given the ongoing israeli occupation, the government should have focused on confronting the attacks instead of planning to confine weapons.

• Do officials ask themselves whether they are capable of defending Lebanon or simply responding to American and israeli demands?

• The government should resist external pressures, as national unity is the true way to confront them.

• By its decision, the government is shifting the conflict from israel-Lebanon to Lebanese against Lebanese.

• American envoy Tom Barrack explicitly stated “no guarantees.”

• The recent war caused significant damage, but the resistance has not and will not end.

• israel’s actions after the ceasefire, amidst international silence, have far exceeded what it achieved during the war.

• We are currently awaiting the army commander’s opinion on preparing an implementation plan for weapons confinement.

• Consultations are ongoing to decide our position on participating in the government’s next session.

• The government’s decision has led the country into a tunnel with unknown outcomes.

• This unprecedented, irresponsible decision has plunged Lebanon into an internal crisis without justification.

• Hezbollah does not wish to escalate tensions in Lebanon.

• How can sovereignty be discussed when a foreign envoy’s document sits on the cabinet table for deliberation?

• We do not seek guarantees for Hezbollah, but guarantees for Lebanon and its people.

• We requested from the Prime Minister $40 million to renovate some buildings in the southern suburbs; so far, there has been no response.

❎ | At 3 PM Beirut time today, the Lebanese government will convene one of its most critical meetings yet, to discuss Terrorist Tom Barrack’s proposal; a document which is a blueprint for dismantling the Resistance and compromising national sovereignty.

Resistance has firmly rejected all calls to disarm or surrender. Meanwhile, factions aligned with israel, U.S., and Saudi Arabia — who now invoke the threat of Julani — must be asked: Who is Julani? What was he created for?

These same factions, still trying to conceal Erdogan’s crimes, whom they idolize, must come clean. Will they including certain factions within Hamas that once celebrated the so-called Syrian revolution publicly condemn this farce? Or will they maintain their Qatari-style duplicity?

Everything must be exposed not in the name of sectarianism, but to reveal the horrific reality of how a sect has been weaponized as a malicious tool of Zionism.

The outcome of today’s meeting may well determine the future of Lebanon.

🇱🇧 | Deputy Coordinator of IRGC Quds Force, Brigadier General Iraj Masjedi:

They will take the wish to disarm Lebanon's resistance to the grave with themselves

The scenario of disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon is a failed plan by the US and the Zionist regime.

The resistance's weapon is the weapon of the Lebanese people to defend their land, and this plan will not succeed either in the Lebanese Defense Council or in any other arena.

The resistance forces are ready and equipped, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is fully prepared for any possible scenario.

🗞️ | Khaleel Nasrallah:

1) Israeli Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi says:

“Israel today has the capability to establish new security boundaries on all fronts through the continuous targeting of our enemies.”

Part of what he said clearly pertains to Lebanon and Syria, referring to these so-called “security boundaries.”

This does not necessarily mean expanding territorial occupation into Lebanon. Rather, it likely refers to preventing the return of normal life to those areas, along with continuing to carry out strikes deep inside Lebanese territory, as is already happening.

2) What Zamir said is unlikely to resonate with the President, Prime Minister, or the vast majority of the Lebanese Cabinet. They will act according to the agendas of Washington and Riyadh, not based on the real threats facing Lebanon. Unfortunately, the Israeli side is clear and transparent and acts in the interest of its settlers, unlike our own state.


3) There are now efforts underway to exclude the Shi’a community in Lebanon. The first and third presidencies (President and Prime Minister) are pursuing one of the most dangerous policies in Lebanon’s modern history. Today, they are carrying out what they previously denied when they claimed they would not sideline any sectarian component.

4) There is no need to object to what the Iranian Foreign Minister said. The Lebanese government has already submitted to the internationalization and regionalization of the Lebanese issue. It has given in to Bin Farhan and Barak, and stayed silent in front of Smotrich.

5i) We warned you. You entered a game whose depth you do not understand, or whose consequences you are unaware of, for the sake of short-sighted political gains. There are also those who have manipulated you for regional objectives that serve both their own interests and Israel’s.

As a result, the Lebanese issue, now under your stewardship, has shifted into a regional matter.
