00:00I have a message for you, the people of Lebanon.
00:03Israel is not at war with you.
00:05We're at war with Hezbollah, that has taken your country hostage,
00:09that does Iran's bidding, that uses your territory to launch terrorist attacks against Israel.
00:15Do you remember what Lebanon was like before Iran and Hezbollah turned it into a nightmare?
00:20Remember the cafes? Remember the culture? Remember the calm?
00:25All that's gone because Hezbollah and Iran want to drag us into war over and over and over again.
00:33You deserve better. Your children deserve better.
00:36You know by now that Israel will do whatever it takes to protect our families, our communities.
00:41Hezbollah is weaker than ever. Israel is stronger than ever.
00:44We've taken out nearly 10,000 Hezbollah terrorists so far.
00:48We're systematically carrying out South Lebanon of these fanatics.
00:52No matter where they are, we'll find them.
00:54You also know we yearn for peace with you, with Lebanon.
00:58A peace where our two peoples can invest together, build together, thrive together.
01:03The only impediment, the only obstacle to this beautiful vision is Hezbollah.
01:08They want war, not peace. They want death, not life.
01:12They will sacrifice as many of you as possible to achieve their sick aims.
01:17Don't let your future be dictated by medieval theocrats,
01:21held bent on destroying our common civilization.
01:24Israel wants peace with you. Seize your future.
01:27Join Israel. Build safety and prosperity for all of our children.
01:32And once Hezbollah is dismantled, the possibilities are endless.
01:37And they are sky high.
02:05Tensions between the United States and Iran have shown
02:09sharply escalated once again, following fresh strikes on Iranian targets in southern Iran.
02:16Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, has issued a strong warning to Washington,
02:22stating that Iran's armed forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered
02:27after recent U.S. military actions.
02:30His remarks come in the wake of reported U.S. self-defense strikes,
02:35targeting radar and air defense sites in Iran's Hormuzgon province,
02:40including areas near Keshe Island, Jask, and Bandar Abbas.
02:44The strikes were carried out after a U.S. Apache helicopter incident near the Strait of Hormuz,
02:51which Washington has blamed on Iranian involvement.
02:54The helicopter reportedly went down during a patrol mission near the critical waterway,
03:00with the crew later rescued. While the U.S. described the incident as hostile action,
03:06Iran has denied responsibility, suggesting it may have been an accident or unrelated event.
03:12In response to the escalating situation, the United States launched limited retaliatory strikes on
03:19Iranian military infrastructure, which it described as defensive in nature.
03:24Iran's foreign minister rejected what he called American aggression, warning that foreign forces
03:30in the region are at constant risk as long as tensions continue. He also urged external militaries to
03:38leave the region, saying their presence could lead to further instability and unintended escalation.
03:44The latest exchange marks another dangerous cycle in the ongoing 2026 Iran conflict,
03:51which has already seen months of missile, drone, and airstrike operations across the Middle East.
03:57From the Strait of Hormuz to southern Iran, the region remains on high alert as both sides
04:04continue to trade warnings and military actions. With diplomatic tensions rising and military activity
04:11increasing, fears are growing that the conflict could expand further, threatening regional stability and
04:18global energy routes. For now, both Washington and Tehran remain locked in a high-stakes confrontation,
04:24with no clear de-escalation in sight.
