00:27Amid ongoing war,
00:29between the U.S. and Iran, a blunt warning has issued from Tehran.
00:35Touch our islands and face relentless strikes.
00:38Iran is now signaling a new red line in this war,
00:42and this time the stakes are territorial.
00:45Iran's parliament speaker, Mohamed Ghalibov,
00:48has issued a stark warning to what he calls enemy forces in the region.
00:54According to Ghalibov, intelligence suggests that adversaries,
00:58backed by a regional player, may be planning to occupy one of Iran's islands,
01:03a move that could trigger a dangerous escalation.
01:07Ghalibov made it clear Iran is watching.
01:11All enemy movements are under full surveillance, he said,
01:14and if any line is crossed, the response will not be limited.
01:18He warned that vital infrastructure of the involved country
01:22would become targets of relentless attacks.
01:26This is not just rhetoric, it's a signal,
01:29a warning that Iran is prepared to defend its territory
01:32and escalate if necessary.
01:35At the same time, Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi,
01:39is sending a message beyond the battlefield.
01:42He's urging Middle Eastern nations to distance themselves from the United States.
01:46Araqchi claims Washington has failed in its war objectives.
01:51From regime change to a quick victory, none have materialized, he says.
01:56But the United States is pushing back.
01:59The White House says its campaign is working.
02:02According to officials,
02:03U.S. forces have destroyed 140 Iranian naval vessels in just three weeks,
02:09a scale of damage described as unprecedented in modern warfare.
02:14Washington insists these actions have forced Iran toward the negotiating table.
02:19Under what it calls Operation Epic Fury, the pressure is being maintained.
02:25And the message from the U.S. is equally blunt.
02:28Cooperate or face even stronger strikes.
02:31Meanwhile, talks are ongoing.
02:34The White House describes them as productive,
02:36but warns against relying on unverified reports.
02:40So now, two narratives collide.
02:43Iran warning of territorial defense and retaliation,
02:46the U.S. claiming military dominance and diplomatic progress.
02:51And at the center of it all,
02:52a single flashpoint, an island.
02:55Because if that line is crossed,
02:57this conflict could shift from strikes and signals
03:00to something far more direct and far more dangerous.
