Iran Deal Not Final Yet, Says Trump; Rejects Reports of $300 Billion US Investment Plan
France: US President Donald Trump has said that the agreement reached with Iran to end the recent conflict is not a final settlement but merely a memorandum of understanding (MoU), warning that Washington could return to military action if Tehran fails to meet its commitments.
Speaking during a bilateral meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on the sidelines of the G7 Summit, Trump dismissed suggestions that a comprehensive deal had been finalized.
“No, it’s not final. It’s a memorandum of understanding,” Trump said when asked whether the agreement with Iran was complete.
US President Donald Trump denied reports that the Iran memorandum included a $300 billion fund, saying Washington was “not putting in 10 cents.” He said the text was not final and warned the US could resume bombing if Tehran did not “behave,” speaking at the G7 summit in France. pic.twitter.com/fZpJLprhaX

The US President also delivered a blunt warning to Tehran, stating that military strikes could resume if Iran’s conduct did not satisfy Washington.
“If I don’t like it, if they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs,” Trump said, underscoring the administration’s hardline stance.
According to a draft version of the proposed agreement reviewed by media reports, the framework includes a ceasefire arrangement, reopening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, economic relief measures for Iran, and Tehran’s renewed pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons.
However, Trump firmly denied reports suggesting the United States would contribute to a proposed $300-billion reconstruction and economic development package for Iran.
“We are not investing ten cents.”

“We are not investing. We’re not putting up 10 cents,” he told reporters, adding that any investment by Gulf countries would be entirely their own decision.
Asked whether Washington was encouraging Gulf nations to support the fund, Trump said the US was not involved in such efforts and that potential investors would likely wait to assess Iran’s future behaviour before making commitments.
Interestingly, the draft MoU reportedly outlines a plan under which the United States and regional partners would help design Iran’s economic rehabilitation programme, with financing of at least $300 billion expected to be arranged within 60 days of the agreement being signed.
Trump is expected to provide further details on the proposed Iran arrangement during a scheduled press conference, where questions surrounding the agreement, regional security and future US-Iran relations are likely to dominate discussions.
