Iran's Threats and China's Role in Conflict

Of NBC News. Iran moments ago, right now actually, is threatening fresh

attacks against American bases-

No, they're not threatening, they're doing it.

They're doing it?

Yep.

Well, that brings me to my next point.

Can you bring Iran to the table while China continues to back

them financially?

Well, I, I, I think you have bad framing there.

So the, the framing is first, first of all, Iran only has

about 30 million barrels of oil or crude on the waters

now. So that's a, that's a minimal amount that I, I think

somehow this narrative erupted that the...

Well, if China's not on board, what we've had very productive,

quiet conversations here with the Chinese.

And the other thing too is the real problem,

the Chinese pay the Iranians in RMB.

The RMB comes back to the Gulf region, and whether it is through neigh-

neighbors shipping the supplies over, or whether

it is through banks such as the one we put out of

business in Dubai on Friday, or whether it is the cash

houses, those are being closed down.

So when that money cannot be converted to dollars,

then the regime will starve.
