President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the U.S. will go back to “dropping bombs on their head” if Iran does not agree to a satisfactory peace deal, underscoring that the administration’s emerging agreement with Tehran remains far from finalized. Speaking alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at the G7 Summit in France, Trump stressed that the memorandum of understanding being negotiated with Iran is only a preliminary framework and warned that military action remains on the table if the regime fails to comply.
“It’s a memorandum of understanding, and if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head,” Trump said in remarks shown live on Newsmax. “If they don’t behave, we’ll go back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head because they’ve misbehaved for 47 years.” Trump has repeatedly argued that the overriding objective of the agreement is ensuring Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. “It’s a great deal,” Trump said. “Number one by far — 99.9% — is they will never have a nuclear weapon. You can’t give Iran a nuclear weapon, and they will never have a nuclear weapon.”
