Trump: Iran understanding not final, threatens bombing if behavior doesn't improve

U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning regarding the preliminary understanding reached with Iran, asserting that the deal is not final and threatening to resume military action if unsatisfied. The comments came just before the scheduled signing of a memorandum of understanding in Switzerland aimed at ending the conflict.

Speaking at the G7 summit in France, Trump declared, "It's a memorandum of understanding... and if I don't like it, we're going back to shooting them and dropping bombs on their heads." He further emphasized, "If they don't improve their behavior, we're going back immediately to dropping bombs right in the middle of their heads, okay?"

Trump also clarified that the preliminary understanding does not involve any immediate lifting of sanctions imposed on Tehran. He indicated that this matter would be addressed at a later time. The U.S. president's remarks underscore a continued hardline stance towards Iran, even amidst efforts to de-escalate tensions.
