US President Donald Trump holds a press conference at the G7 summit in France, June 17, 2026.
The United States and Iran digitally signed and released a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending the conflict between the two countries on Wednesday, with US President Donald Trump threatening to resume attacks on Iran if it failed to honour its commitments.
The memorandum came as leaders gathered at the G7 summit in France, where the group welcomed the interim deal while calling for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and stressing that follow-up negotiations must ensure Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.
Trump, attending the summit, said he hoped Iran would abide by the agreement and warned that if it did not Washington was prepared to launch new military action. "We're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement," Trump cautioned at a press conference. "I don't want them to. I want them to honour the agreement."
Meanwhile, he appeared to soften one of the justifications he had previously offered for attacking Iran, saying it would be "unfair" for Tehran not to have ballistic missiles after earlier vowing to eliminate them.
