00:15Iran releases a video showing a simulated strike
00:20on a U.S. aircraft carrier.
00:22And it comes at a moment when tensions between
00:25.
00:25Washington and Tehran are already at a boiling point.
00:29So .
00:30What is Iran signaling?
00:32And how real is this threat?
00:34Let's break it down.
00:35On January 25th, Iran unveiled two powerful
00:40visual messages, both aimed directly at the United States.
00:44First,
00:45a massive anti-U.S. mural appeared in Tehran's Engelab Square.
00:50.
00:50The image shows a U.S. aircraft carrier from above,
00:54damaged.
00:55on fire,
00:56with exploding fighter jets and bodies scattered across the deck.
01:00.
01:00The blood trails formed the stripes of the American flag
01:04and stamped across .

01:21Abraham Lincoln had just moved closer to the region, but the mural
01:26was only half the message. The same day, Iran released a state's
01:31sponsored video simulating a hypersonic missile strike on that very carrier.
01:36The video shows a Sata missile, Iran's claimed hypersonic missile.
01:41Iran's missile strike weapon launching, evading defense systems, and slamming into the U.S.
01:46ship. Massive explosions. Total destruction.
01:51Iran claims this missile can travel at Mach 13 to 15 and is
01:56undetectable. U.S. military experts strongly dispute that.
02:01But the message isn't about technical details. It's about deterrence.
02:06So, why now? The answer lies inside Iran.
02:11Since late December 2025, Iran has been rocked by nations
02:16hin-wide protests. What started as anger over economic collapse included
02:21the
02:21including a free falling currency quickly turned into political demands for
02:26regime change the government responded with a severe crackdown a two
02:31week internet blackout mass arrests and a death toll that remains hotly
02:36disputed activist groups claim more than five thousand eight hundred people killed
02:41the government admits to around 3,000 the UN has called the response
02:46unprecedented the United States responded with new sanctions
02:51targeting Iran's oil shipping network and then a warning from President Donald
02:56Trump on January 22nd he said any further executions or
03:01escalation would trigger military action actions he said would
03:06wharf previous U.S. strikes in response the U.S. deployed more force
03:11forces the USS Abraham Lincoln F-15 fighters and British
03:16typhoon jets to the region Iran's response visual threats and
03:21words like all-out war but here's the reality check
03:26when it comes to naval power the United States dominates 11 air
03:31aircraft carriers hundreds of warships advanced missile defense systems
03:36Iran has zero carriers and a much smaller fleet
03:41Iran's strategy is not to match the U.S. ship for ship it's to make the cost
03:46of conflicts painful using missiles fast attack boats mines
03:51drones especially in tight waters like the Persian Gulf that's
03:56why the street of Hormuz matters 20 percent of the world's oil passes
04:01through it Iran has threatened to block it if attacked mines missile
04:06missiles swarm boat attacks any closure even temporary could send
04:11oil prices skyrocketing and shake the global economy but a full-block
04:16blockade would also hurt Iran and would likely trigger a major U.S. and
04:21allied response so what does this all mean the video
04:26and the mural are not a declaration of war they are a warning a signal
04:31and a dangerous game of psychological pressure no missiles have been launched
04:36no ships have been hit but in a region this tense misunderstanding
04:41no ships can turn deadly fast and right now both sides are playing chicken
04:46no ships with very real consequences
04:51no ships have been hit'!
04:52no ships are in place
04:53no ships can be ignored
04:56no ships can be món
05:08no ships can be infections
05:10no ships can be drifting
05:13no ships can be found
05:17no ships can be found
