Former US President Donald Trump has stated that the recent memorandum of understanding (MOU) reached with Iran is not a final agreement. He indicated a willingness to revert to more aggressive tactics, explicitly mentioning a return to military action – “dropping bombs” – should negotiations ultimately fail. Trump described the MOU as a “very strong deal,” highlighting provisions allowing Iran to immediately resume oil sales. However, the agreement reportedly requires Iran to take concrete steps to ensure the free passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Leaked text of the MOU confirms these conditions regarding the vital shipping lane. The US president’s comments signal continued skepticism towards Iran’s commitment to a lasting agreement and maintain pressure on the country through the threat of force. This stance underscores the fragility of the current diplomatic efforts.
