Trump says U.S.-Iran deal "not final," threatens to resume bombing "if they don't behave"
Trump said the tentative Iran deal could still collapse and that the United States could resume strikes if Tehran fails to comply.
- President Trump declared Wednesday that the U.S.-Iran agreement is "not final," warning from the G7 summit in France that the current framework is strictly a temporary memorandum of understanding.
- The president threatened an immediate return to military strikes if Iran "misbehaves" or if he is unhappy with the final terms, stating: "If I don't like it... we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head."
- Trump fiercely pushed back against domestic and international criticism that the deal leaves Iran's infrastructure intact, asserting that the framework is a "work in progress" designed to freeze hostilities for a 60-day negotiation window.
- He adamantly denied that the U.S. would fund Iran's $300 billion reconstruction plan, angrily telling reporters that Washington will not contribute "even 10 cents" and suggesting any investments would come strictly from Gulf states conditional on Iran's compliance.
- The warning came as G7 leaders formally endorsed the diplomatic framework in a joint statement, welcoming the ceasefire while heavily emphasizing that a robust follow-on treaty must be reached to permanently eliminate Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities.
