En un acto por el aniversario de la muerte de Nasrallah, el jefe de Hezbollah dijo que el grupo terrorista no depondrá las armas

El líder del grupo terrorista libanés Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, reafirmó este sábado que no depondrán las armas, durante un acto multitudinario para conmemorar el primer aniversario de la muerte de su predecesor, Hassan Nasrallah, que se produce en medio de una iniciativa estatal para desarmar al movimiento.
“He estado siguiendo tu camino desde tu ausencia, seremos los portadores de la verdad (…) No dejaremos el frente de guerra y no abandonaremos las armas”, sentenció Qassem en un discurso emitido en grandes pantallas frente a miles de seguidores congregados a las afuera de Beirut.
“Continuaremos, seremos resilientes y estaremos listos para el martirio”, defendió el actual secretario general de Hezbollah.
Las conmemoraciones por Nasrallah, que lideró la formación durante más de tres décadas hasta su muerte hace este sábado un año, coinciden con una iniciativa del Gobierno libanés para desarmar a Hezbollah, como parte de sus esfuerzos para que solo haya armamento en manos de las fuerzas de seguridad estatales.
Este mes, el Ejército presentó un plan con este objetivo por encargo del Consejo de Ministros, que la institución castrense tiene previsto implementar en fases en función de sus capacidades.
Qassem criticó que los intentos de dejarles sin armamento buscan en verdad “desarmar al Líbano” y llamó al Gobierno a centrarse en defender la “soberanía” del país, poniendo fin a la presencia de las tropas israelíes que aún ocupan cinco puntos de su territorio.
En medio de los esfuerzos para desarmar a Hezbollah, realizados entre fuertes presiones estadounidenses, el líder del movimiento insistió en que se enfrentarán a cualquier programa que sirva a los intereses de Israel “incluso si está disfrazado como un proyecto nacional”.
Sin embargo, destacó la necesidad de mantener la “unidad interna” en el Líbano y de trabajar hacia lograr un país “fuerte”, al considerar que su formación es “la base de esa fuerza”.
“El enemigo esperaba que cayéramos, pero volvimos a tomar la iniciativa, elegimos a un nuevo secretario general y sustituimos con nuevos líderes”, zanjó Qassem.
Por su parte, el secretario del Consejo Supremo de Seguridad Nacional iraní (CSSN), Ali Larijani, llegó este sábado al Líbano para participar en las conmemoraciones por el primer aniversario del asesinato del líder histórico del grupo chií Hezbollah, Hasán Narala.
Larijani aterrizó en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Beirut acompañado por una “delegación oficial de alto nivel” para tomar parte en las ceremonias que se celebrarán esta tarde en los suburbios capitalinos, informó la Embajada iraní en el Líbano en su cuenta de X.
Este sábado tendrán lugar los actos centrales para conmemorar el primer aniversario del fallecimiento de Nasrala, que encabezó a Hezbollah durante más de 30 años y que murió en un bombardeo israelí contra una sede subterránea a las afueras de Beirut el 27 de septiembre de 2024.
El evento principal tendrá lugar en el santuario donde está enterrado el ex secretario general de Hezbollah e incluirá un discurso por parte de su sucesor, Naim Qassem, mientras que a la hora exacta de su muerte -18.21 hora local (15.21 GMT)- se han convocado vigilias por todo el país.
Hezbollah arrancó esta semana una serie de conmemoraciones por Nasrala y otros líderes asesinados el pasado año durante la guerra con Israel, actos que continuarán hasta mediados de octubre.
La fecha coincide con intentos del Gobierno libanés para desarmar al movimiento político y armado chií, que se niega a acatar la decisión mientras continúen los ataques israelíes contra el Líbano y la presencia de su Ejército en cinco áreas del territorio del país.

US judge orders suspect detained for threatening to kill Richard Grenell

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday ordered the detention of a 33-year-old man charged with threatening to kill President Donald Trump ally and Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell, in what Justice Department officials described as a win for the Trump administration – and for Lindsey Halligan, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Grenell, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany, was not in court for the arraignment Tuesday afternoon, and was identified in a press release only as a «federal employee.»
The Justice Department identified Grenell to Fox News Digital as the individual in question.
The suspect, Scott Allen Bolger, was charged with transmitting threats in interstate commerce, and with making false statements to federal officers, who later used phone evidence to trace the threats back to him. He was arraigned in federal court in Alexandria.
Justice Department officials told Fox News Digital that the decision to hold an individual in pretrial detention is somewhat rare, and described the win as a victory for the Justice Department.
According to court documents, Bolger used Google Voice to send threatening messages to Grenell, including allegedly threatening to kill him. Google Voice allows users to make calls and send messages to phone numbers that are not tied to their primary devices.
Bolger is also accused of lying to members of a federal task force who went to his residence in McLean to question him, falsely identifying himself as «Brian Black.»

They also noted that Halligan, who Trump installed as U.S. attorney for EDVA earlier this year, attended the arraignment.
Halligan attended the proceedings, but did not play a formal role, Fox News Digital confirmed.
The Justice Department also shared a victim statement from Grenell with Fox News Digital that was read aloud in court.
«In my current role as a presidential envoy, I have been attacked and harassed by people who don’t know me and who simply want to leave nasty, rude and angry messages because I don’t share their political viewpoint,» Grenell said in the statement.
«But I strongly believe it is their right to be bitter and angry. I understand the passion. And I think the freedom to be rude and angry is a cherished right.»
«But today is much different,» he said. «Today we are dealing with someone who went far beyond sharing his angry opinion. Today we see a man who wants to kill someone because of their political differences.»
«And as we have sadly learned from my friend Charlie Kirk’s death, we must take talk of violence and calls for death seriously. «
«This individual crossed the line from sharing his viewpoint to wanting to shoot someone in the face because he disagrees with them politically. It is very troubling,» he said, adding, «The people doing what he is doing, and there are many, must be given clear instructions from community leaders that their calls for shooting people in the head will have swift and severe consequences. Unstable people are watching what we do today.»

Notably, the determination to hold Bolger in pretrial detention was made by U.S. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick most recently made headlines for issuing scathing broadsides against DOJ for its handling of grand jury materials in the Comey case, which he said, last month, presented «irregularities» that «may rise to the level of government misconduct.»
The suspect’s arrest comes at a time when threats and intimidation aimed at high-profile figures across all three branches of government have appeared to escalate.

Polls have shown that people believe political violence is on the rise in the wake of Kirk’s assassination, the murder of two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers and violence toward immigration enforcement officials.

China launches largest military drills off Taiwan in 8 months with live-fire exercises caught on camera

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
China fired rockets into waters near Taiwan during large-scale live-fire drills Tuesday, staging its biggest military encirclement of the island in eight months while warning «separatist» forces and outside powers.
A video released by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command showed forces firing rockets into waters north of Taiwan and bomber aircraft taking off at night as part of the encirclement.
The footage was released on the second day of the large-scale exercise «Justice Mission 2025.»
China launched the exercise Monday, surrounding Taiwan with warships, aircraft and live-fire drills as tensions rose following a record U.S. arms sale to Taipei.

«Justice Mission 2025» includes coordinated deployments of ground forces, naval vessels, fighter jets, drones and artillery across seven maritime zones encircling Taiwan.
Tuesday’s drills included long-range live-fire exercises in waters north of Taiwan, PLA Eastern Theater Command spokesperson Li Xi said, according to state-run Xinhua News. Li said the drills achieved their intended results.
Other drills included assaults on maritime targets and anti-air and anti-submarine operations. Destroyers, frigates, fighter jets and bombers also carried out simulated strikes on maritime targets.

Rockets fired by Chinese forces landed inside Taiwan’s 24-nautical-mile line, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said.
Taiwanese leader William Lai Ching-te said Tuesday that Beijing «has continued to escalate military tension in the region, which is not the behavior of a responsible world power,» according to Focus Taiwan. He added that «Taiwan will not provoke a confrontation, nor seek conflict with China.»
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said on X that 130 PLA aircraft, 14 naval vessels and eight official ships were operating around the island as of 6 a.m. local time.
«Ninety of the 130 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern, central, southwestern and eastern air defense identification zone,» the statement said. «We monitored the situation and responded.»

The PLA said on X that a Chinese military drone captured aerial footage of Taipei 101, which Taiwan’s Defense Ministry described as a typical example of psychological warfare. «So close, so beautiful, go to Taipei at any time,» the PLA said in the post.
President Donald Trump said Monday that Chinese President Xi Jinping did not inform him of the drills, adding that the exercises did not concern him.
As the drills unfolded, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Chinese military aircraft and naval vessels were operating near the island, with some engaging in close stand-offs near Taiwan’s contiguous zone, about 24 nautical miles from shore.

«Conducting live-fire exercises around the Taiwan Strait would not only constitute military pressure on us, but could also pose broader risks to the international community and neighboring countries,» said Hsieh Jih-sheng, Taiwan’s deputy chief of the general staff for intelligence.
Taiwan placed its military on high alert and said it was prepared to conduct rapid-response exercises if the drills escalated. The ministry released video highlighting its own capabilities, including U.S.-made HIMARS systems, while the coast guard deployed large patrol ships to monitor Chinese vessels near its waters.

China claims Taiwan as its territory and has not ruled out using force to bring the island under its control. Taiwan rejects that claim, maintaining that only its people can decide the island’s future.
