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 suit me, we will strike them again and drop bombs on them," emphasizing that military action would return swiftly if Iran fails to comply.
Trump also clarified that the MOU does not include immediate relief from sanctions against Iran, stating, "I will mention the issue of sanctions relief later."
These comments underscore that the Iran MOU is not a definitive document for ending hostilities or easing sanctions, but rather a preliminary step toward further negotiations. The U.S. is keeping the door open for negotiations while simultaneously signaling that military pressure could be reinstated based on Iran's behavior.
