Trump declared his ability to make the United States the "guardian of the Middle East"

The United States could become the "guardian of the Middle East" for providing them with 20% of the region's revenue if a final nuclear agreement is not reached. This was announced on June 14 by US President Donald Trump in an interview with The New York Times (NYT).

"If Iran does not reach a final nuclear agreement with the United States, <...> he (Trump. — Ed.) will resume military strikes on Tehran or make the United States the "guardian of the Middle East" in exchange for 20% of the region's revenues," the text says.

It is explained that the head of the White House spoke about the transformation of American military personnel into "paid police" who will be responsible for security in the Persian Gulf. At the same time, as emphasized, Trump did not respond to a clarifying question about a similar agreement from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.

"He (Trump. — Ed.) did not give a direct answer, but hinted that he had just started discussing this issue. He suggested that this would happen only if Iran remained opposed to the agreement," the newspaper said.

Pause: Why the US-Iran deal does not guarantee peace

The agreed memorandum will unblock the Strait of Hormuz, but will not solve the problems of the nuclear program and sanctions.

It is expected that the procedure for concluding the Iranian-American agreement will take place on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland. American Vice President J. D. Vance announced that this treaty would supposedly change the entire Middle East for the next half century.

Program Manager of the Russian Council on International Affairs (RIAC) Ivan Bocharov said on June 15 that the deal between Washington and Tehran does not resolve key contradictions and may not prevent a new escalation. Two days earlier, Ynet had learned about Israel's dissatisfaction with a possible agreement between the United States and Iran. He, in turn, actually refused to comply with the future agreement on June 15. On the same day, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi called Washington responsible for complying with the agreements, and Tel Aviv for stopping attacks on Lebanon.
