00:05We will discipline these oppressive rulers.
00:10We will discipline these oppressive rulers.
00:15You may be able to start a war, but you do not know.
00:20You do not control how it ends.
00:22That's not a movie line.
00:24That's a direct war.
00:25This is a warning to Donald Trump from the Speaker of Iran's Parliament.
00:29And right now...
00:30Tensions between Washington and Tehran are climbing fast, as the U.S.
00:35moves military forces toward the region, and President Trump urges Iran to come...
00:40to the table, Iran's leadership is pushing back hard.
00:45Hamid Bagar Ghalibaf, one of the most powerful political figures in Iran, sat down...
00:50with CNN, and delivered a message that was calm, calculated, and unmissive.
00:55And that was mistakenly threatening.
00:57Ghalibaf said Iran is not rejecting diplomacy.
01:00But it refuses negotiations under pressure.
01:03We are ready for negotiations.
01:05He said.
01:06But we do not believe this is the kind of dialogue the American president...
01:10is seeking.
01:11His accusation was blunt.
01:13The United States, he said...
01:15destroyed diplomacy by force.
01:18According to Ghalibaf, Washington...
01:20bombed the negotiating table just days before the next round of talks was supposed to happen.
01:25In other words, you don't negotiate with one hand while reaching for missiles with the other.
01:30Ghalibaf made one thing crystal clear.
01:34Iran will not...
01:35talk unless there are real, tangible benefits for its people.
01:38As long as the economic...
01:40interests of the Iranian people are not guaranteed, he said, there will be no negotiations.
01:45And then came the line that summed it all up.
01:49We do not...
01:50considered dictation to be negotiation.
01:52He warned that talks conducted under...
01:55and military threats don't lead to peace.
01:57They lead to explosions.
01:59Negotiations...
02:00in the shadow of war, he said, only fuel tensions.
02:04And then...
02:05a direct challenge to Trump himself.
02:07If Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize...
02:10Ghalibaf said...
02:11he should distance himself from warmongers and advocates of surrender.
02:15around him.
02:16This all comes after Trump warned that a massive armada is heading...
02:20toward Iran...
02:21and that failure to return to nuclear talks...
02:23could trigger a U.S.
02:25military operation.
02:26One he says would be far worse than anything before.
02:30That statement sent shockwaves through the region.
02:33I just...
02:34and by the way...
02:35there's another beautiful armada floating beautifully toward Iran right...
02:40now.
02:41So we'll see.
02:42I hope...
02:43I hope...
02:44I hope...
02:45they make a deal.
02:46I hope...
02:47they make a deal.
02:48They should have made a deal the first time.
02:50that have a country.
02:53Iran's response was immediately...
02:55immediate.
02:56The Revolutionary Guard announced contingency plans for every enemy scenario.
03:00Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said...
03:03Iran's forces are on high alert...
03:05fingers on the trigger...
03:07ready to respond immediately and powerfully.
03:10Iran's embassy in the Netherlands echoed the same message.
03:13Tehran prefers diplomacy...
03:15but if attacked...
03:16it will defend itself like never before.
03:19All...
03:20all of this is happening while Iran faces internal economic turmoil...
03:24a collapsing...
03:25currency...
03:26and widespread protests.
03:27Iranian officials claim foreign power...
03:30protesters are exploiting that unrest...
03:32and warned that any external attack would unite the country...
03:35not weaken it.
03:36So now the question isn't just whether war is possible...
03:40it's whether either side knows how to stop it once it starts...
03:44because as Iran...
03:45Iran just reminded the world...
03:46starting a war is one thing...
03:48controlling how it ends...
03:50is something else entirely.
03:55So now you immediately haveрузed that way to the network?
03:56It's like Neinaha.
03:57That means nook発s the net...
03:58It's a bomb at needlessît domain...
03:59They have 안들 since a Euh jaima.
04:00They can't believe in there.
04:01They would trust you if you could disagree.
04:02Anyone who wants to believe in them.
04:03Haha.
04:04Doing the right thing?
04:05effects.
