Trump Says Iran Agreement Not Final, Warns Military Action Remains an Option

US President Donald Trump has stated that the memorandum of understanding reached with Iran is not yet a final agreement and warned that the United States could return to military action if the eventual deal does not meet expectations.

Speaking to reporters during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, Trump emphasized that significant progress had been made but several important issues still require resolution.

The US president reiterated that Iran will not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons and described the current understanding as an important step toward a broader agreement.

Trump said the agreement would help ensure the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, which could contribute to stability in international energy markets and global trade.

According to Trump, the absence of a deal could have placed considerable pressure on the global economy. He pointed to strong stock market performance and lower oil prices as signs of growing confidence.

The president also dismissed reports suggesting the United States would provide $300 billion in funding or investment to Iran, calling such claims inaccurate.

He further clarified that the memorandum does not include immediate sanctions relief for Iran. Discussions regarding any future easing of sanctions, he said, would take place at a later stage.

Trump added that he had spoken with Syrian leadership regarding efforts to address issues related to Hezbollah and broader regional stability.

During the meeting, Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi also discussed trade relations, regional security, and Egypt’s controversial dam project, with the US president expressing support for cooperation on the initiative.

President Sisi, meanwhile, emphasized the importance of peace, diplomacy, and long-term stability across the Middle East.
