Trump on Iran Deal Says Military Action Could Resume if Agreement Fails

US President Donald Trump said the ceasefire agreement with Iran is not a final deal and warned that military action could resume if the agreement does not meet US expectations. Speaking at the G7 summit in France on June 17, Trump described the accord as a “memorandum of understanding” and said the US could return to bombing if Iran does not comply.

He stated, “If I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head,” highlighting the fragile nature of the current truce framework.
