1st LD Writethru: U.S. will strike again if Iran not comply with MoU: Trump

EVIAN, France, June 17 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Wednesday that the United States would strike Iran again if Tehran fails to comply with the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between them.

"If they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head," Trump said at the G7 summit alongside Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi.

The United States and Iran have electronically signed an MoU aimed at ending the war on Monday and are scheduled to officially sign it in Switzerland on Friday.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump said the United States would make the Strait of Hormuz fully open by Friday.

However, Israel's Ma'ariv news site reported Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear Israel "does not consider itself committed to the Lebanese clause in the U.S.-Iran agreement." Israel continued its strikes in south Lebanon on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi described the war's end in Lebanon as an "inseparable" part of the Iran-U.S. peace deal.

The G7 summit kicked off on Monday in Evian, a town on the shores of Lake Geneva in eastern France. Enditem
