Iranian state television has broadcast footage of underground missile and naval tunnels in southern Iran, presenting a display of military readiness while messages continue to pass between Tehran and Washington, according to Al Araby Television, based in Qatar.

Reporting live from Tehran, correspondent Amir Jaber describes footage of a representative visiting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities. The display accompanies Iranian warnings against further escalation by the United States or Israel, rather than an announcement that diplomatic exchanges have stopped.

Jaber says those exchanges are continuing through Qatari and Pakistani mediators. He cites Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf as saying Iran has delivered a firm, rational response to the American side and that Washington must take the next step to prevent war.

The correspondent also discusses a statement by Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Ali Abdollahi addressing regional security, Gaza, Lebanon and sanctions relief. The report places these issues alongside the military warnings as part of Tehran's stated position.

At sea, an on-screen statement attributed to the Revolutionary Guard says three oil tankers caught fire after striking mines in a prohibited area east of the Strait of Hormuz. That is an Iranian military claim relayed in the broadcast, not an independently established account of the incidents. Jaber also discusses drone-related incidents and presents Tehran's position that it controls passage through the strait and will prevent ships from crossing.

The Arabic report is titled "إيران تتأهب للحرب وتكشف عن أنفاق أسلحة جديدة وتحذر من أي تصعيد", meaning "Iran prepares for war, unveils new weapons tunnels and warns against any escalation." It closes with Jaber relaying a warning that any American strategic error would bring an Iranian response without geographical limits.
