Trump Threatens to Attack Iran Again Just Before Signing MoU
United States President Donald Trump threatened Iran that he was prepared to resume military action if Tehran does not comply with its obligations. This was conveyed on Wednesday (17/6) local time, just hours before the signing of an agreement to end the war between the two countries.
“No, this is not final. This is a memorandum of understanding,” Trump said at the G7 Summit held in France, prior to the signing of the MoU between Iran and the US.
“If I don’t like it, we will go back and attack them,” he added.
“If they don’t behave well, we will immediately go back and drop bombs right in the middle of their heads,” Trump declared, as reported by AFP news agency on Thursday (18/6/2026).
“Because they have behaved badly for 47 years,” he said, referring to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was established in the Islamic Revolution after the overthrow of the Shah, a US ally, in 1979.
It is understood that Trump signed the Iran-US memorandum of understanding during a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles following the G7 Summit meeting on Wednesday evening local time.
“Just signed it,” Trump said as he exited the palace, according to AFP on Thursday (18/6/2026).
Separately, the Iranian government also confirmed that it had signed the document to end the war with the US.
“The text of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has been concluded with the signatures of the presidents – now it is time to test the implementation of the agreement,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, as quoted by the official Iranian news agency IRNA.
He said the signing was carried out electronically and remotely by the two presidents, and that a formal ceremony “does not have much place” in Iran’s plans.
The Swiss government had previously said a signing ceremony would be held on Friday (19/6) at a luxury hotel in the mountains overlooking Lake Lucerne, with Iranian Parliament Speaker Bagher Ghalibaf and US Vice President JD Vance in attendance.
“When the text is signed by the highest officials of the two countries, violating it will certainly incur greater costs, and based on our experience, we prefer this to happen,” Baqaei said.
The text of the agreement was released on Wednesday (17/6) by both parties. A two-month negotiation period will follow, with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as the first step.
