US 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," Report informs via Reuters.
"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 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."
