🇮🇶— Iraq: Political sources revealed that Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, and outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani agreed to nominate Ali al-Zaidi for the premiership as a compromise candidate after a meeting with Faleh al-Fayyad.

Al-Zaidi, a native of Dhi Qar Governorate, is on the US sanctions list. He previously served as chairman of the board of the South Islamic Bank, currently as chairman of the board of the National Holding Company, and chairman of the board of the People's University. He also owns Dijlah TV and maintains extensive relationships with Shia leaders such as Ammar al-Hakim, Muqtada al-Sadr, Qais al-Khazali, and Faiq Zaidan.

－This phenomenon has become more widespread globally, reaching Iraq more clearly and officially, where channels of pressure, oligarchic influence, and pragmatic, self-serving relationships are increasingly used to support overlapping interests.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

And record for history: the Israeli enemy will not remain on a single inch of our occupied land, and our people will return to their lands up to the very last inch of our southern borders with occupied Palestine. And O our people, just as we resisted together, we shall rebuild it together.

Welcome to everyone who helps Lebanon and supports its liberation and reconstruction, and unwelcome is everyone who serves the requirements of the enemy and the disruption of Lebanon’s strength.

We will not squander the blood of the martyrs—a trust upon our necks—foremost among them the Leader of the Nation’s Martyrs, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (may God be pleased with him), Sayyed al-Hashem (may God be pleased with him), and all the martyrs, nor the wounds of the injured, the suffering of the prisoners, and the sacrifices of our people in displacement and all their giving and generosity.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

The sacrifices are great, but they are the price for liberation and a life of dignity, borne by our great Lebanese people alongside their honorable resistance as one of two choices: liberation and pride, or occupation and humiliation—and humiliation is far from us. As for the advocates of surrender, their matter is strange! They are not the targets, they pay from the balance of others, and they accept the crumbs of power and gains at the expense of the extermination of their brothers and kin in the homeland and the occupation of part of Lebanon.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

The approach to a solution begins with recognizing that the problem is the aggression; the resistance is a reaction to the aggression, not the cause. The resistance’s weapon is for repelling aggression; it is a defensive weapon for existence at this stage due to the Israeli occupation and the exposure of the aggression's goals to occupy Lebanon as part of "Greater Israel."

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

The entry point and solution lie in achieving five points before anything else: stopping the aggression by land, sea, and air; Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories; the release of prisoners; the return of the people to all their villages and towns; and reconstruction.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

In this atmosphere of sacrifice, pride, and the enemy's defeat, the authorities rushed into a free and humiliating concession that was unnecessary. Its only justification is submission without any return, not even the equivalent of a "goat's sneeze."

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

The Israeli enemy, with support from the American tyrant, wagered on eliminating Hezbollah, its Islamic resistance, and the public united with resistance, dignity, and honor. It left no means, crime, conspiracy, or path untried, yet it has failed since the beginning of the "People of Valor" battle on September 23, 2024, until now.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Details of the incident in which a soldier was killed and six were wounded this morning in southern Lebanon:

In the morning hours, a tank belonging to an armored company operating under Battalion 12 of the Golani Brigade broke down in the village of Taybeh in Lebanon. After the tank malfunctioned, the armored force deployed a track and had to deal with the tank on site.

At around 9:30 a.m., an explosive-laden drone launched by Hezbollah operatives fell near the disabled Golani tank in the vicinity of the village.

As a result of the explosion of the explosive drone, one soldier was killed and six others were wounded: four seriously, one moderately, and one lightly.

An Air Force helicopter was called in to evacuate the wounded from the scene to a hospital inside Israeli territory. The helicopter landed inside Lebanese territory. During the evacuation operations, Hezbollah launched two additional explosive drones toward the rescue forces.

The forces succeeded in intercepting one of the drones, while the other fell very close to the Air Force evacuation helicopter during the evacuation of the wounded, just a few meters from the helicopter.

🇱🇧❌🇱🇧 — Lebanese President Joseph Aoun:

What we are doing is not treason; rather, treason is committed by those who drag their country into war to serve external interests.

Some claim that we have gone to negotiate in surrender; to them we say: wait for the negotiations to begin and then judge the outcome.

Some say that we decided to negotiate without a national consensus; did those who went to war do so with a national consensus?

How long will the people of the South continue to pay the price for the wars of others on our land, the latest of which are the war to support Gaza and the war to support Iran? If the war were for the sake of Lebanon, we would have supported it, but when the goal of the war is to achieve the interests of others, I reject the war entirely.

Do not ask about our capabilities; they are not measured in months or years. They are built upon a trinity: Faith, Will, and Power—and this trinity never runs dry.

Look at the steadfastness of the Mujahideen, the greatness of our people, and God’s promise to the believers: "Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand" (Ghafir 51); there you will know the extent of our capabilities, for they are without limit.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

Return to national unity, and everyone wins while the enemies lose.

The ceasefire would not have happened if not for the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Pakistan talks, following the legendary steadfastness of the resistance and its people in Lebanon. Thank you, Iran. Why did the authorities become so harsh? If a ceasefire came from any mediator, we should accept it, and no one will negotiate Lebanon's terms for a solution except Lebanon. Then came "Bloody Black Wednesday" with the Israeli aggression on Beirut and all of Lebanon—200 raids in ten minutes, over 300 civilian martyrs, and more than 1,200 wounded. The Israeli enemy justified this by saying the Lebanese authorities were not concerned with a ceasefire! The authorities stepped forward, and Tuesday was a day of shame and disgrace in Washington in a direct meeting with the enemy.

Afterward, the U.S. State Department issued an agreement mentioning the Lebanese government's signature on it without it even meeting—an agreement that included a ceasefire from Lebanon's side, gave Israel a free hand to continue aggression, and stated that "the Lebanese and Israeli governments acknowledge the necessity of curbing the activities of Hezbollah and other rogue groups." We heard no comment from the officials in power! Has the authority decided to work side-by-side with the Israeli enemy against its own people? We still hope the authority will retract its sins.

Let it be known clearly: these direct negotiations and their outcomes are as if they do not exist to us; they do not concern us in the slightest. We are continuing our defensive resistance for Lebanon and its people. We will not return to the pre-March 2 status. We will respond to the Israeli aggression and confront it. No matter how much the enemy threatens, we will not back down, we will not bow, and we will not be defeated. Threaten all you wish; the heads of the Men of God in the field do not bow, and they subdue the tyrants of the earth, the lowliest of men, and the beasts of creation. We will be one hand with all honorable people, with the Amal Movement, national political forces, and figures from various regions and sects.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:

This authority cannot continue while it squanders Lebanon's rights, concedes land, and confronts its resisting people.

This authority must return to its people to unite them, becoming an authority for the whole people rather than just a part, based on the consensus upon which our current constitution, the Taif Agreement, was built. Its responsibility is to retract its dangerous sins that place Lebanon in a cycle of instability.

The enemy’s pivotal bet was on March 2, 2026, but we confronted it with the "Eaten Straw" battle. The Israeli enemy, its sponsors, the defeated, and the whole world were astonished by the steadfastness, courage, and might of the resistance fighters, the diversity and effectiveness of their combat tactics, the skillful management and control of the battle, and the remarkable rallying of the people around the resistance, enduring displacement and great sacrifices. The enemy has reached a dead end, for this resistance is ongoing, strong, and cannot be defeated.
