00:00First of all, the new game is a game of the game.
00:07This game is just a game of the game.
00:14It's a game of the game.
00:19It's a game of the game.
00:24A move that could redraw the global energy map and ignite a superpower confrontation.
00:41The United States is considering imposing a naval blockade on Iran, a step aimed at
00:50choking off Tehran's oil exports and cutting the regime's financial lifeline.
00:56The proposal, first reported by the Jerusalem Post, would represent one of the most aggressive
01:01actions taken against Iran in decades, and it has already sent shockwaves straight to
01:07Beijing.
01:10The goal of a blockade would be simple and devastating — prevent Iran from exporting oil.
01:17Under heavy U.S. sanctions, Iran already has few buyers left — and one country dominates
01:23that list.
01:26According to 2025 data from analytics firm Kepler, China buys more than 80 percent of all Iranian
01:32oil shipped last year, averaging about 1.38 million barrels per day.
01:39Cutting off Iran's exports would not just hit Tehran — it would directly strike China's
01:44energy supply.
01:47That's why Beijing is furious.
01:49Iranian oil plays a critical role in China's energy security.
01:53And a U.S. naval blockade would effectively place American warships between China and a
01:59key supplier.
02:03Analysts warn this could turn a regional crisis into a global confrontation, dragging the world's
02:08two largest powers into a dangerous standoff at sea.
02:14For China, this is no longer about Iran — it's about sovereignty, trade, and power.
02:21At the same time, Washington is laying out sweeping conditions for any deal with Tehran.
02:28According to Axios, U.S. demands include the complete removal of enriched uranium, strict limits
02:34on long-range missiles, a total ban on domestic enrichment, and an end to Iran's support for
02:40regional proxy forces.
02:43Taken together, these terms would dismantle the pillars of Iran's strategic power — something
02:48Tehran has repeatedly said it will never accept.
02:53The pressure is being backed by force.
02:56You know, we have a lot of ships going that direction, just in case.
03:01We have a big flotilla going in that direction, and we'll see what happens.
03:07We have a big force going toward Iran.
03:12I'd rather not see anything happen, but we're watching them very closely.
03:16I saw 837 hangings on Thursday.
03:22They would have been dead — every one of them would have been hung.
03:25The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is expected to reach the Arabian Sea within
03:31hours, accompanied by guided missile destroyers and advanced combat aircraft.
03:36U.S. and regional officials say this is one of the most significant American force surges
03:42since last year's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
03:47Airlines are canceling flights, militaries are coordinating, and the region is bracing for
03:52what comes next.
03:56Israeli officials say preparations are complete for a potential U.S. operation, with full coordination
04:02between Washington and Tel Aviv.
04:05F-15E strike eagles, refueling tankers, and surveillance aircraft are already positioned
04:11across West Asia.
04:13Meanwhile, the U.S. is reinforcing missile defenses, deploying THAAD and Patriot systems
04:18in Israel, Qatar, and Jordan.
04:20Officials insist these moves are defensive, but the scale tells a different story.
04:28Iran, meanwhile, is issuing stark warnings of its own.
04:31A senior Iranian official says any U.S. attack or blockade would be treated as an all-out
04:37war.
04:38Tehran claims its forces are on maximum alert, even as it faces severe internal unrest, fueled
04:44by economic collapse and mass protests.
04:51Now, with a naval blockade under consideration, the stakes extend far beyond Iran, reaching
04:57into global markets, superpower relations, and the stability of the world's energy supply.
05:04A naval blockade would not just isolate Iran.
05:08It would challenge China, test global trade, and push the Middle East to the edge of a wider
05:13conflict.
05:14As U.S. warships close in and Beijing watches closely, the world is left waiting on one question.
05:21Is this the final act of deterrence, or the opening move of a much bigger war?
05:48Thanks for joining the war.
05:52Thanks so much for joining us.
05:54Thanks.
05:55Happy New Year.
