At the close of the G7 summit in France, President Donald Trump said the United States could resume military strikes against Iran if Tehran does not meet commitments in a newly drafted 14-point Memorandum of Understanding. The framework establishes a 60-day cease-fire intended to create space for further negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions, and regional hostilities.
Trump described the agreement as historic and said Iran had acted appropriately so far, while warning that Washington would “go back to bombing” if written or unwritten understandings are not honored. He did not specify the unwritten terms. Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, is expected to attend a signing ceremony in Switzerland with Vice President J.D. Vance.
The text says Iran can never develop or acquire a nuclear weapon and calls for work with International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors on Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, including possible down-blending on site. Trump said monitoring cameras are in place and that the U.S. would respond if Iran attempted to move material.
Analysts noted potential uncertainty in the agreement’s language. Hamidreza Azizi of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs said references to maintaining the “status quo” could be interpreted differently by the two sides, especially regarding existing uranium stockpiles. The draft also outlines possible sanctions relief and access to a $300 billion development fund if Iran fulfills final deal requirements. Trump said returning Iranian funds was important for confidence in the dollar.
The memorandum also declares an end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. Iran has sought to connect any U.S. cease-fire to an end of Israel-Hezbollah fighting and Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Trump said he disagreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Lebanon, calling a recent Beirut strike unnecessary. He said Lebanese President Joseph Aoun will visit Washington soon.
