President Donald Trump said Wednesday the memorandum of understanding with Iran is not final, and that if the final agreement does not meet his standards, the US will resume bombing Iran, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Trump also said he spoke with Syria's leader about fighting Hezbollah, as reported by Tomer Almagor.
President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday that the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding is not a final text, and warned he would not hesitate to resume bombing if the final agreement does not meet his standards. According to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), Trump said: "If I don't like it, we'll go back to dropping bombs on their heads." He also said he had spoken with Syria's leader about the fight against Hezbollah, as reported by Tomer Almagor. The remarks came around 13:56 Jerusalem — the same hour both versions of this story were published — and represent the first time Trump publicly tied the Syria channel to the Iran nuclear track.
The thread began at 13:56 Jerusalem with Trump's initial statement that the MOU is not final and that he would resume bombing if the deal does not meet his standards. At that stage, the report (via N12's Rozentzweig) covered only the Iran threat and the Strait of Hormuz reopening. A second thread version followed at the same minute — 13:56 — adding the Syria-Hezbollah element, which constitutes the "what's new" for this update. The source line thus evolved from a single channel (N12/Rozentzweig) to a dual-sourced account (Rozentzweig + Almagor), though both reports originate from the same press encounter.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks face a deadline amid widespread skepticism among Israeli analysts that the negotiations will produce a verifiable long-term deal. The security cabinet was expected to discuss new details on the emerging agreement and remaining gaps, as reported by Channel 15. Separately, a U.S. force buildup in Iraq and ongoing airstrikes have continued alongside diplomacy. The new mention of a Syrian channel — Trump saying he discussed fighting Hezbollah with the Syrian leader — introduces a regional dimension that had not previously been part of the published thread, though its operational significance remains unclear.
It remains unclear whether Trump's reference to a conversation with the Syrian leader reflects a direct call, a message relayed through intermediaries, or a broader description of U.S. policy coordination. No additional detail — timing, location, or content beyond the Hezbollah reference — has been provided by the White House or the Syrian side. The MOU itself remains a non-binding text; the final agreement's terms and Iran's response are unverified.
