00:06The talks are over. Iran has officially walked away from the negotiating table with the United
00:13States. And this time, it is not a pause. It is not a delay. It is a suspension tied to
00:20conditions
00:20so severe that a return looks almost impossible right now. Here is what happened. On Monday,
00:28Iranian semi-official media reported that Tehran's negotiating team has suspended all
00:34talks and exchanges of texts through mediators. The reason stated, Israel's ongoing attacks in
00:42Lebanon. Iran had made Lebanon a precondition for any ceasefire agreement. And according to Tehran,
00:49that condition has now been violated on every single front. So they got up and they walked out.
00:56But the statement that came with that walkout is where things get truly alarming. Iran and its
01:03allied groups have now placed on their agenda the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the
01:09activation of other fronts, including the Bab el-Mandev Strait in the Red Sea, where Houthi
01:16rebels have already shown the world exactly what disruption of global shipping looks like.
01:22Let that sink in. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of the world's entire oil supply.
01:30Closing it, even partially, would send shockwaves through every economy on the planet overnight.
01:36This is not a military threat. This is an economic weapon of mass destruction.
01:42Now here is what triggered it all. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered strikes on
01:49Beirut's Dahia district, the southern suburb that serves as Hezbollah's heartland. And here is the
01:56detail that matters most. Those strikes on Beirut were coordinated with the United States. That is not
02:02Israel acting alone. That is Washington and Tel Aviv moving together on Lebanese soil at the exact
02:10moment Iran and the U.S. were still technically at the negotiating table. Tehran noticed, and Tehran
02:18responded. But it does not stop there. Over the weekend, the U.S. directly attacked Iran, targeting radar
02:26installations and command and control sites. U.S. Central Command called it a response to aggressive
02:32Iranian actions. Iran's Revolutionary Guard hit back, claiming it struck a U.S. airbase that had been
02:39used to attack an Iranian telecommunications tower. Kuwait separately confirmed it repelled strikes in
02:47its own territory. Both sides are now exchanging direct blows while simultaneously negotiating, or rather,
02:55while they were negotiating, because that window has now closed. Trump had reportedly sent back tougher
03:03language on Iran's nuclear commitments and demanded Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of any deal.
03:10Iran found those terms unacceptable. And then Israel struck Beirut with American coordination. And that was
03:20the final straw. Iran's message tonight is brutally clear. No negotiations until Israel fully withdraws
03:28from Lebanon and Gaza. No talks until the resistance is satisfied. And if those conditions are not met,
03:37the Strait of Hormuz goes dark. The world just moved from a failing diplomatic process to the very real
03:44possibility of a multi-front war with global economic consequences attached. The question is no longer
03:52whether the deal is dead. The question is what comes next. And right now, nobody has a good answer.
