US President Donald Trump said a memorandum of understanding with Iran has not yet become a final agreement, warning that military action could resume if the deal does not progress in a way acceptable to Washington.
Speaking to reporters during the G7 summit in France alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump described the current arrangement as a preliminary framework rather than a completed accord.
Warnings over future military action
Addressing questions on whether the agreement had been finalised, Trump said it was “not final”, describing it as a memorandum of understanding.
He warned that if the arrangement failed to meet US expectations, military operations against Iran could resume.
“If I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them,” Trump said, adding that if Iran did not “behave”, the US would return to military strikes.
Markets react positively, says Trump
Trump also claimed that financial markets had responded positively to developments surrounding the negotiations.
“The markets are very happy,” he said, while providing no specific details on market indicators or reactions.
He further stated that the US would not make investments in Iran and had not encouraged Gulf states to do so, although he added that Washington would not object if regional countries decided to pursue investments in the future.
More details expected later
The US President said additional information on the negotiations and the broader situation would be provided during a later news conference.
The latest remarks come as attention remains focused on evolving US-Iran relations and potential developments ahead of an expected agreement framework.
