President Trump initiated a 28-minute phone call with the New York Times from the White House residence. He stated that the Iranian regime will receive no sanctions relief and no access to $25 billion in frozen funds if it kills protesters. Trump confirmed he had urged Iranians to rise up after American and Israeli strikes but noted they lacked arms and would be slaughtered. He warned he is prepared to restart military attacks on Tehran without a final nuclear accord. Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for not sending tankers and destroyers to break the blockade. Most notably he proposed that the United States become the paid guardian of the Middle East in exchange for 20 percent of regional revenues, turning American protection and the nuclear umbrella into a profit-driven service. The comments directly address Arab states funding proxies to keep Iran weak while expecting free US security.
