00:21China and Russia step into the Iran-U.S. talks in Islamabad,
00:27changing the balance of power at the negotiating table.
00:31This is not just diplomacy anymore. This is a global power play.
00:38Because for the first time in this conflict, Iran is not negotiating alone.
00:45Following a fragile two-week ceasefire between the U.S.-Israel bloc and Iran,
00:52high-level talks are now underway in Islamabad.
00:55On one side, the United States. On the other, Iran.
01:01But standing quietly behind Tehran are two global heavyweights, China and Russia.
01:09Their role may be labeled as observers, but the message is much bigger.
01:15This signals a united front, challenging U.S. dominance and pushing a multipolar world order.
01:23For Iran, this changes everything.
01:28No longer isolated, Tehran now walks into negotiations with diplomatic cover, economic backing and even UN Security Council veto power.
01:40China brings economic strength.
01:43It is a major buyer of Iranian oil, a key investor and a silent force behind the ceasefire itself.
01:52In simple terms, China helps Iran survive sanctions.
01:57Russia brings strategic muscle, military ties, regional coordination and the power to block global action against Iran.
02:08Together, they turn these talks from a U.S.-Iran face-off into a global negotiation arena.
02:16And that gives Iran leverage.
02:19In fact, Iran has already set the tone.
02:23Its 10-point proposal has become the working basis for these talks.
02:28The demands are sweeping.
02:32Full sanctions relief, recognition of nuclear rights, control over the strake of Hormuz, and even U.S. military withdrawal from
02:41the region.
02:42This is not a defensive stance.
02:45This is agenda setting.
02:48But the U.S. is not stepping back.
02:51Washington has brought in Saudi Arabia and Qatar to counterbalance Iran's influence.
02:57This creates two clear blocks.
03:00On one side, Iran backed by China and Russia.
03:04On the other, the U.S. with its Gulf allies.
03:07A new geopolitical alignment playing out in real time.
03:12The stakes are massive.
03:15The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route, remains a key pressure point.
03:21And deep mistrust still clouds the talks.
03:25But one thing is clear.
03:27These negotiations are no longer just about peace.
03:31They are about power, influence and the future global order.
03:36So the question now is, will this lead to lasting peace or a deeper global divide?
