President Donald Trump stated that the memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding Iran is not a final agreement. He warned that military action could resume if Iran does not act in accordance with the agreement's intent.

On June 17, during the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, Trump remarked on the Iran MOU, saying, "It is a memorandum of understanding; it is not a final agreement."

He added, "If it doesn’t please me, we will strike them again and drop bombs on them. If they do not behave properly, we will immediately return to bombing."

Trump also clarified that the MOU does not include immediate relief from sanctions against Iran, stating, "The issue of sanction relief will be addressed later."

These comments emphasize that the Iran MOU is not a definitive document for ending the conflict or easing sanctions, but rather a preliminary step for further negotiations. The U.S. is keeping the door open for negotiations while simultaneously signaling that military pressure could be reinstated depending on Iran's actions.
