00:00 In the Middle East, the concern for a major regional war is growing.
00:04 Israel may threaten a second front.
00:07 Has the entire Middle East policy of the USA failed?
00:11 When the Iranian Foreign Minister invites to a press conference in Lebanon, Hossein Amir
00:18 Abdullah is visibly tense.
00:20 The appointment on Saturday is exactly one week after the beginning of the massacre of
00:26 the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas in Israel, which has been a spiral of violence.
00:34 Since then, the whole world has been looking at the region in the Middle East, where the
00:37 concern for an even greater escalation with inevitable consequences is rising.
00:42 In Beirut, Iran's chief diplomat warns of an earthquake that the pro-Iranian Shiite organization
00:49 Hezbollah could trigger in the event of a war entry from the south of Lebanon.
00:54 Everyone has designed scenarios and everyone has their hand on the trigger, says the minister.
00:59 The bombardments in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli military should stop.
01:05 Here, too, it is to be read between the lines, that Iran wants to speak for the interests
01:12 of the Islamic world as a regional power.
01:13 Amir Abdullah Hian says, "There is still the possibility for diplomatic measures, but
01:20 tomorrow it is too late."
01:21 The USA is also afraid of a fire in the region.
01:25 And so the Iranian Amir Abdullah Hian is not the only one who travels through the region.
01:31 The USA are Israel's most important allies and support the country with billions.
01:38 With peace treaties between Israel and Arab states such as Egypt or Jordan, the US government
01:45 has tried to deepen the potential for conflict in the Middle East.
01:49 And it was calculated, at least for the time being.
01:53 "The region of the Middle East is not as quiet as it has been for two decades today,"
01:59 US Secretary of State Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan, said well over a week before the massacre.
02:05 Here, desire and reality are now going apart.
02:09 Biden sent Foreign Minister Antony Blinken after the attacks on Middle East missions
02:14 in the Middle East, first Israel, then Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates
02:21 and Egypt.
02:22 His task was to support Israel in the fight against Hamas and at the same time to keep
02:27 the allies in the Middle East in check in order to prevent a greater conflict.
02:32 In US media, the speech of a kind of "Mission Impossible" was an impossible task.
02:39 To deter the US, warships were shipped into the eastern Mediterranean.
02:44 Just as the US is now trying to get its partners on the line in the Middle East, so is Iran
02:51 trying to exert its influence.
02:53 The visit of Foreign Minister Amir Abdullahian in the Mediterranean country of Lebanon, which
02:58 borders Israel in the south, is a clear sign.
03:02 The Islamic Republic thus presents its influence, which it has built up for decades.
03:08 Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the Jewish state has been regarded as a netherworld
03:15 enemy in Tehran.
03:16 To understand today's escalation potential, a look at the complicated alliances that Iran
03:23 has forged in recent years is worthwhile .
03:25 One of Iran's most loyal allies is the Hezbollah.
03:30 The God's Party was formed in 1982 with Iranian support as an answer to the Israeli
03:37 invasion of Lebanon.
03:38 Since then, it has been fighting politically, but also violently against Israel, and is
03:44 mainly financed from Tehran.
03:46 Since the last war with Israel in 2006, it has massively expanded its capabilities.
03:52 According to the latest estimates of the Israeli army, the organization has an arsenal of more
03:59 than 100,000 missiles.
04:01 In Iraq and Syria, Tehran also relies on allies in politics and the support of Shiite
04:08 militias.
04:09 Israel is constantly threatened with destruction by the Iranian top.
04:13 A direct interference in the attack on Israel by Hamas sent State Supreme Leader Ayatollah
04:20 Ali Khamenei back, but praised the attack.
04:23 "We kiss the foreheads and arms of the ingenious and intelligent designers and the brave Palestinian
04:30 youth, we are proud of them," said Khamenei.
04:34 Of course, the entire Islamic world is obliged to support the Palestinians.
04:39 The Islamic world is united against Israel?
04:42 The opposite was the concern of Iranian officials in recent months.
04:49 Reports of a normalization of relations between the Jewish state and the Sunni Saudi Arabia
04:55 caused nervousness in Tehran.
04:58 Finally, the hostile regional powers of Iran and Saudi Arabia announced in March that after
05:03 years of diplomatic ice age, they would reopen messages to the respective countries.
05:10 Saudi Arabia, the cradle of Islam, has been considered an important protector of the Palestinians
05:15 for years.
05:16 That is why the look was directed after the Hamas attack and Israel's reaction to the
05:21 Gulf state.
05:22 How does Saudi Arabia react?
05:26 In the meantime, the Kingdom of Iran was putting the talks under US mediation on a normalization
05:31 with Israel on ice, as informed circles report.
05:35 Iran has already failed to explain the possible "historical approach".
05:41 "That's completely off the table," said Amir Abdullahian in Beirut.
05:46 For the USA, this message is a blow, because "approach" is exactly the policy that Washington
05:53 has set in the region.
05:55 And for both, the conflict is also a narrow degree, because a wrong step could have serious
06:00 consequences.
06:02 For the USA, it is a matter of course that Israel must defend itself after such an example-less
06:08 attack.
06:09 The US President has also made this clear over and over again, it is just a duty.
06:16 Nevertheless, the USA is looking with concern at the possible upcoming ground offensive.
06:23 Biden has repeatedly made it sound like Israel is now adhering to popular rights and the number
06:28 of civilian victims must be kept as low as possible.
06:32 At the same time, he described the atrocities of the Hamas with drastic words.
06:37 Therefore, Biden sent his Foreign Minister Blinken to Israel on behalf of the country
06:43 to warn of caution.
06:44 Because the pictures, which come from the Hamas attacks, are incredibly horrible,
06:50 the pictures of killed civilians from Gaza now follow.
06:54 The concern of the US government, the support for Israel could crumble, enemies of Israel
07:01 like the Hezbollah could be encouraged even more to be part of the conflict.
