Shamkhani: Iran is going [to Rome] to achieve a balanced agreement; not surrender.

Sheikh Qassem: Reconstruction is not a favor from anyone, and we will not accept blackmail under this pretext.
Qassem: Lebanon cannot move forward under US guardianship, and the US must respect the Lebanese people’s will for independence and non-interference in its affairs.
Sheikh Qassem: They say they are linking reconstruction to disarmament, we say we are the ones linking weapons to reconstruction.
Sheikh Qassem: Moving to the second phase requires implementing the first phase, which includes the withdrawal of “Israel,” an end to its aggression, and the actual start of reconstruction.
Sheikh Qassem: Hezbollah has fulfilled its responsibilities; let “Israel” fulfill its own, and let the Lebanese state fulfill its own.
Qassem: We will not discuss the details of the defensive strategy in the media, nor will we preempt the principles that will be agreed upon once we sit at the dialogue table.
Figures in history: Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
As tens of thousands from Lebanon and outside flood the streets of Beirut for Sayyed Hassan’s final farewell, his legacy stands unshaken; an unwavering symbol of defiance against tyranny. From the Resistance’s victories over Israeli occupation in 2000, 2006, and 2024 to his steadfast commitment to Lebanon’s sovereignty and Palestine’s cause, Sayyed Hassan's voice became the heartbeat of a movement that refuses to kneel. Today, Lebanon and the region do not just mourn a leader; they honor a martyr whose presence transcends time, whose final breath was a vow of resistance, and whose path to al-Quds remains etched in a cause he defended until his last breath.
