Trump threatens to resume bombing campaign if Iran does not "behave"

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, June ‌17 (Reuters) - U.S President ​Donald ​Trump said on Wednesday that an interim accord with Iran was not final, and ‌that he could resume a bombing campaign if ⁠he did not like it or if Tehran did not "behave".

"It's ‌a memorandum of understanding. And ‌if I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head. If ​I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right ⁠smack in the middle of their head, OK?" Trump said on the ​sidelines of a G7 summit in France.

Trump said the Iran memorandum of understanding did not ​include immediate sanctions relief for ‌Iran.

Trump heaped praise on the framework agreement that his administration had negotiated, saying: "That's a ⁠very strong deal. Nobody knows what it is, but it's very strong, and most people seem to be very happy."

He ⁠said the agreement would be a boon for markets.

"There's nothing ​so smart as the market, and the market loves it beyond anything that I've actually seen," he said, adding: "The alternative would ‌be a worldwide depression."

Oil prices were near a three-month low on Wednesday, with Trump ‌predicting further decreases : "I think oil prices might get lower ⁠than where they were ‌before the war."
