Trump Announces Imminent Signing of Iran Agreement Possibly Thursday or Friday

President Donald Trump defended the Iran agreement on Wednesday at the conclusion of his participation in the G7 summit, stating that he had discussed the details with allied leaders during the meetings. He confirmed the deal with Iran would be signed soon, possibly on Thursday or Friday.

Trump expressed his belief that Iranian leaders would behave differently, adding that they were "very happy that we made a deal." He emphasized that the new agreement with Iran is expected to be signed shortly and that Iran is eager to finalize the deal.

Addressing reporters, Trump said, "The agreement we reached with Iran on Sunday will be signed soon... tomorrow or possibly the day after," and warned that "if they do not comply with the agreement, we will likely return to bombing them until they do."

He stressed that "technical discussions regarding the nuclear stockpile will begin immediately," and added, "Iran will not be able to access a $300 billion fund unless it behaves properly."

Trump also revealed that he had shared the details of the agreement with allies at the G7 summit, stating, "I discussed the details of the Iran agreement with allies at the G7 summit."

One of the motivations behind reaching the agreement, according to Trump, was to avoid widespread economic consequences. He said, "I did not want to see an economic disaster."

Regarding Israel, Trump disclosed that the U.S. administration had informed the Israeli government about the details of the understanding, noting, "We sent a copy of the memorandum of understanding to Israel."

He praised his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, commenting, "Netanyahu gets a little upset sometimes, but he is a good partner."

On the security situation in Lebanon, Trump suggested that "Israel could do a better job regarding Hezbollah." He also announced that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun would visit Washington within a week or two.

Trump added, "We will have to work on the Lebanon file."

Addressing the G7 leaders, Trump stated, "I am the leader."
