00:00If a state has sufficient political cover and protection, it may bomb security.
00:30This must remain an international priority despite all other justice. This is how justice becomes order.
00:41Israel's expansionist project requires that neighboring countries be weakened, militarily, technologically, economically and socially, so that the Israeli regime permanently enjoys the upper hand.
00:57Under this project, Israel is free to expand its military arsenal without limits, including weapons of mass destruction that remain outside any inspection regime.
01:09Yet, other countries are demanded to disarm. Others are pressured to reduce defensive capacity. Others are punished for scientific progress. Others are sanctioned for building resilience.
01:25Nobody should be confused. This is not arms control. It is not non-proliferation. It is not security. It is the enforcement of permanent inequality.
01:37Israel must have a military intelligence and a strategic edge, and others must remain vulnerable.
01:44This is a doctrine of domination.
01:47Iran has sent a stark warning to Washington. Strike us and U.S. military bases across the Gulf will pay the price.
02:03This comes just one day after indirect nuclear talks in Oman between the U.S. and Iran concluded. Talks that were described as positive but fragile.
02:25Diplomacy is on the table, but so is the threat of war.
02:30At the Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi delivered a blunt message.
02:37Iran will retaliate against U.S. bases in the region if America launches military action.
02:44We do not attack neighboring countries. We target U.S. bases located in those countries, he said.
02:52Direct attacks on U.S. soil? Not feasible. But U.S. assets across the Gulf? Very much in range.
02:59Araqchi also reinforced Iran's non-negotiable red lines.
03:04Uranium enrichment remains untouchable, ballistic missile program is off-limits, and no enriched uranium will leave Iran.
03:13These are essential to our defense and sovereignty, he stressed, rejecting long-standing U.S. demands.
03:20The warning came shortly after the Muscat negotiations, the first high-level nuclear discussions since the June 2025 12-day war,
03:31which saw U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran's retaliation against Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
03:40The Oman talks were strictly about the nuclear program. Missiles, proxies, and regional influence were off the table.
03:48Araqchi described the talks as taking place in a good atmosphere and a good start.
03:54U.S. President Donald Trump echoed that cautiously optimistic tone, calling the discussions very good,
04:01while warning that failure to reach an agreement could bring very steep consequences.
04:07U.S. President Donald Trump echoed the talks on Iran.
04:11Iran looks like it wants to make a deal very badly. We'll have to see what that deal is.
04:15But I think Iran looks like they'll want to make a deal very badly, as they should.
04:20Last time they decided maybe not to do it, but I think they probably feel differently.
04:25We'll see what the deal is. It'll be different than last time.
04:29And we have a big armada, and we have a big fleet heading in that direction.
04:35Despite diplomatic gestures, the risk of conflict remains high.
04:40The U.S. has increased its military presence in the Gulf, including carrier strike groups and additional assets.
04:47Iran has responded with missile tests and readiness demonstrations, signaling both capability and willingness to respond.
04:56The possibility of war always exists, Araqchi said.
05:00We are prepared both for war and for preventing its outbreak.
05:04Iran insists talks must happen without coercion, with sanctions relief as a core demand.
05:11The U.S. wants broader concessions, including curbs on Iran's missiles and regional proxies, which Tehran has firmly rejected.
05:20Iran says it wants dialogue, but its warning is clear.
05:25If diplomacy fails, the battlefield won't be theoretical.
05:29U.S. bases in the Gulf are within range.
05:32The coming days will test whether this fragile channel leads to progress or if miscalculation pushes the region toward another confrontation.
