00:32A move that could redraw the global energy map.
00:41The United States is considering imposing a naval blockade on Iran.
00:46A step aimed at choking off terrorists.
00:55The proposal, first reported by the Jerusalem Post, would...
01:00...to represent one of the most aggressive actions taken against Iran in decades.
01:05It has already sent shockwaves straight to Beijing.
01:08The goal of a blockade would be simple.
01:13And devastating.
01:14Prevent Iran from exporting oil.
01:16Under...
01:18Under heavy U.S. sanctions, Iran already has few buyers left.
01:22And one country...
01:23...dominates that list.
01:26According to 2025 data...
01:28...from analytics firm Kepler, China buys more than 80% of all Iranian oil.
01:33Shipped last year, averaging about 1.38 million barrels per day.
01:39Cutting off Iran's exports would not just hit Tehran.
01:42It would directly...
01:43...strike China's energy supply.
01:45That's why Beijing...
01:48...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...
01:58...between China and a key supplier.
02:03Analysts warn this could turn a regional crisis into a global confrontation.
02:08Dragging the world's two largest powers into a dangerous standoff at sea.
02:14For China, this is no longer about Iran.
02:17It's about...
02:18...sovereignty, trade and power.
02:22At the same time...
02:23...washington is laying out sweeping conditions for any deal with Tehran.
02:28According to Axios, U.S. demands include the complete removal of enriched...
02:33...uranium, strict limits on long-range missiles, a total ban on domestic enrichment...
02:38...and an end to Iran's support for regional proxy forces.
02:43Taken together, these terms would dismantle the pillars of Iran's strategic...
02:48...power.
02:49Something Tehran has repeatedly said it will never accept.
02:53The pressure is being backed by force.
02:56You know, we have a lot of...
02:58...ships going that direction just in case.
03:01We have a big...
03:02...flotilla.
03:03...going in that direction.
03:04And we'll see what happens.
03:06We'll see what happens.
03:08We'll see what happens.
03:09We'll see what happens.
03:10We'll see what happens.
03:11We have a big force going toward Iran.
03:13I'd rather not see anything happen.
03:14But we're watching them very closely.
03:16I stopped...
