US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could resume military attacks on Iran if Tehran fails to conclude a final nuclear agreement with Washington, while also floating the idea of the US becoming "the guardian of the Middle East" in exchange for 20% of the region's revenues.
In an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, Trump said the preliminary agreement reached with Iran would ensure that the Strait of Hormuz remains "permanently toll-free" and claimed his actions had prevented a nuclear-armed Iran from threatening Israel's existence.
