Hezbollah leader Qassem says despite all the difficulties facing the Iranian revolution, Iran has advanced at all levels and supported the liberation movements, Al Mayadeen reports; As long as Israel is in Lebanon, resistance will continue
- "The revolution in Iran was launched from an Islamic background on the principles of resisting injustice and occupation, and it announced that it is neither Eastern nor Western"
- "The West and America will not accept Iran as a model of righteousness and justice; rather, they want it to be subordinate to their interests and their tyranny."
- "Thanks to Iran for helping us to regain our land and our right to confront the Israeli-American aggression despite its major confrontations"
- describes direct negotiations as "absurd and humiliating" for Lebanon.
- As long as Israel is in Lebanon, resistance will continue.
- Northern Israel will remain at risk as long as Lebanese villages are being bombed.
- "We are only concerned with ending the comprehensive aggression—with a ceasefire and the withdrawal of “Israel”"
- As long as the occupation exists, the resistance will continue.
- "We have not given any commitment to anyone not to resist the aggression and respond to it. And as long as the aggression continues, we will confront it with all the power we have."
- The primary objective must be the sovereignty of Lebanon, which is achieved through an exclusive solution—stopping Israeli aggression on Lebanon"
- "The main objective must be the withdrawal from Lebanese territories so that the army spreads in the south of the Litani River and the liberation of the detainees"
- "We do not accept any link between the existence of the resistance, the cessation of aggression and the withdrawal of "Israel"
- "First, people of the country should understand one another in facing the aggression, and then we will address our issues afterwards under the umbrella of the constitution, Taif, and co-existence"
- "We call on officials to stop this farce and humiliation called direct negotiations"
- "To have the security track under the slogan of a supposed ceasefire is surrender and defeat, and achieving the enemy’s objectives."
- "We are only concerned with a comprehensive halt to the war and Israel's withdrawal".
