United States President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, indicating a readiness to resume military action if Tehran fails to adhere to its commitments. This statement was made just two days before a planned accord signing intended to conclude the conflict between the two nations.
Speaking at the G7 summit, Trump referred to the anticipated agreement as a "memorandum of understanding," not a final deal. "If I don't like it, we will go back to shooting at them," he declared, standing alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. He further threatened, "If they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head."
No it’s not final. It’s a memorandum of understanding. If I don’t like it we will go back to shooting at them. If they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head.
Trump justified his stance by referencing the Islamic Republic's 47-year history since the 1979 revolution. The US-Iran war reportedly began on February 28 with airstrikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials.
Talks for a final settlement are scheduled to commence on Friday, immediately following the accord signing in Switzerland. These negotiations are expected to span a 60-day period to finalize the details of the agreement.
Because they misbehaved for 47 years
