Trump Threatens to Resume Bombing Iran Over Deal
Trump said the US would resume bombing Iran. This would happen if he disliked the deal being made.
The threat came hours after G7 leaders praised the deal as a breakthrough. Trump is finishing talks at the G7 summit in France.
Leaders there focused on his plan to end the US war with Iran. Trump backed a G7 statement welcoming the Iran deal.
A formal agreement between Iran and the US is due to be signed on Friday. The deal plan has not been made public.
Trump's allies in Congress have not seen it either. This has raised questions about its details and costs.
The G7 statement calls for more talks with European leaders. These talks would cover Iran's missile program. That issue was not included in the agreement being signed Friday.
Klear Note — Iran nuclear deals are major international agreements. The US left a previous Iran deal in 2018. This new deal aims to limit Iran's nuclear program.
