00:00The U.S. and Iran just started nuclear talks in Oman.
00:25At the exact same time, China steps in and publicly declares support for Iran.
00:32So here's the question shaking global politics.
00:35If Iran is hit, would China hit back?
00:39Behind closed doors in Muscat, U.S. and Iranian officials are talking nuclear limits, sanctions,
00:45and security.
00:46But thousands of miles away in Beijing, China sends a very clear signal.
00:51Iran's sovereignty is non-negotiable, and Washington is listening.
00:56During a high-level meeting with Iranian officials, China's foreign ministry openly criticized
01:01what it called unilateral bullying.
01:04That phrase is diplomatic code for U.S. sanctions, military threats, and regime pressure.
01:10China says it supports Iran's legitimate rights, including peaceful nuclear development, and
01:16rejects threats or force as a solution.
01:19This wasn't random.
01:20The statement came just one day before U.S.-Iran talks began in Oman.
01:25Iran's message?
01:26We won't negotiate under pressure.
01:29China's message?
01:30You're not alone.
01:32Iran's delegation, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi, insists the talks stay focused
01:37on nuclear issues only.
01:39The U.S. wants more — missiles, regional influence, and militant groups.
01:44Meanwhile, Washington hasn't ruled out military action, and U.S. forces are quietly building
01:50up in the region.
01:51That's the tension.
01:53So would China actually defend Iran if the U.S. strikes?
01:57Most analysts say no direct military response.
02:01China avoids wars far from home.
02:03But that doesn't mean it stays neutral.
02:06Just days ago, China, Russia, and Iran signed a new strategic agreement.
02:11Not a military alliance, but a united front against sanctions, coercion, and Western dominance.
02:18That changes the equation.
02:20China probably won't attack the U.S. over Iran, but its support makes war riskier, diplomacy
02:26harder, and the stakes much higher.
02:29And as talks continue in Oman, one thing is clear.
02:33This isn't just a U.S.-Iran story anymore.
