[88060] Trump threatens: "If I am not satisfied with the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran - we will go back to bombing"
Trump sets conditions for an agreement with Iran: "We will return to bombing if they don't behave nicely"
In a series of dramatic statements, US President Donald Trump clarified that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran does not constitute a final agreement. According to Abu Ali Express, Trump emphasized that if he is not satisfied with the Iranian side's conduct, the US will return to "dropping bombs on their heads." Additional sources, including 301 News Arab World and Almog Boker, quote the President threatening an immediate renewal of strikes if the memorandum is not fulfilled.
Political developments and the missile issue
Regarding Iran's missile policy, Daniel Amram Uncensored reported that the President claimed the missiles themselves are not the main problem, noting that it is difficult to deny Iran missile capabilities when other countries in the region, such as Saudi Arabia, possess them. At the same time, the President sent a message of thanks to Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu, as noted in Ongoing Security, while promising that Iran will not cross the "nuclear wall" placed before it.
Talks with Syria and the Hezbollah issue
Another significant development concerns the Middle East: Trump confirmed that he held talks with Syrian leader Al-Shara concerning the possibility of fighting Hezbollah, as reported in 301 News Arab World. Certain channels, including Israel News | Without Censorship, added that following repeated Israeli requests to receive the text of the MOU with Iran, the President transferred a copy of the document to Israel.
Criticism and interpretations
While channels identified with a pro-Israeli line tend to present Trump's statements in a positive light and accept his threats as a pressure tool against Iran, other voices such as Ben Caspit point to uncertainty regarding the impact of the memorandum on economic sanctions, and criticize the nature of the diplomatic conduct surrounding the issue.
