President Donald Trump said the US agreement with Iran is a memorandum of understanding with a 60-day diplomatic window, warning that if no progress is made within that period the US will resume bombing Iran. Trump added that Netanyahu is 'a good guy' but they had a 'small argument' over Lebanon — Trump said he told Netanyahu to be 'gentler' and not demolish buildings to hit Hezbollah operatives. The deal is expected to be signed 'tomorrow or the next day,' Trump said.
President Donald Trump confirmed that the US-Iran agreement reached Sunday is a memorandum of understanding carrying a 60-day window for diplomatic progress, threatening a return to bombing if the deadline is not met. The statement, reported in real-time by The Zioneer from Trump's own remarks, includes the president's defense of the MOU as the best available path while maintaining the military threat. Trump also revealed a private disagreement with Prime Minister Netanyahu over Israeli tactics in Lebanon, telling Netanyahu to be 'more gentle' and avoid demolishing buildings to target individual Hezbollah operatives, while praising Netanyahu as 'a very good guy' who 'gets excited sometimes.' The president said the agreement will be signed 'tomorrow, maybe the day after.' Notably, Trump referred to 'Sunday' as the day of the deal — though earlier reports by The Zioneer and others had indicated Friday — a discrepancy the president did not explain. Trump said that if Iran does not respect the agreement or certain unstated understandings, the US will resume bombing. 'We will never let them have nuclear weapons,' he said.
