US President Donald Trump said today that the US could resume strikes on Iran if the deal with Tehran does not satisfy him, reports the AP, quoted by Focus.
The US president explained that the memorandum of understanding agreed upon between Tehran and Washington is not a final agreement.
''This is a memorandum of understanding. And if I don't like it, we're going back to shooting at them, we're going to drop bombs on their heads. If I don't like it, if they don't behave properly, we're going back to dropping bombs directly on their heads'' Trump said on the sidelines of the G-7 summit.
On the evening of June 15, Trump announced the conclusion of a peace agreement with Iran. At the same time, the details of the finalized memorandum have not yet been made public. Its full text has not been seen by members of Congress or close allies.
Although confirmed details are scarce, the American media outlets Bloomberg and CNN, as well as the Saudi media outlet Al Arabiya English, claim to have obtained a leaked version of the text of the memorandum:
1. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States, together with their allies in the current war, declare, upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, an immediate and final cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, and undertake that they will henceforth take no hostile action against each other and will refrain from the threat or use of force against each other.
