Trump says the US will resume bombing if Iran doesn’t comply with agreement

The US released the official 14-point memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran, outlining key terms of a potential deal after weekend negotiations. The agreement includes provisions for US oil export waivers for Iran, a commitment from Tehran to never produce nuclear weapons, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, to be finalized in later talks. President Donald Trump stated that the US will resume bombing Iran if the agreement fails, calling the nuclear stockpile issue 'less important' than preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He also downplayed the 60-day technical negotiation period as not a 'hard' deadline, provided Iran complies. The MOU specifies a 'minimum methodology' for down-blending Iran’s near-bomb-grade uranium under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision. Trump highlighted US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last summer, claiming they were effective, and stressed that avoiding a nuclear-armed Iran is the top priority. Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend an in-person signing of the deal on Friday, marking the start of the 60-day negotiation window for finalizing broader terms. In Lebanon, where Israel has continued strikes against Hezbollah, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun welcomed aid from any state, including Iran, to secure a ceasefire. The agreement text also ends hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, though Israel’s actions against Hezbollah remain a point of contention. Trump criticized Israel’s approach, stating the US has shared the MOU text with Israel to ensure alignment with the broader diplomatic effort.
