President Donald Trump said Monday at the G7 summit that the anticipated U.S.-Iran agreement is “not final” and remains a memorandum of understanding expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday.

“No, it’s not final. It’s a memorandum of understanding,” Trump said alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. “If I don’t like it, we will go back to shooting at them.”

Trump issued a blunt warning to Tehran, adding: “If they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head.”

The president said the proposed agreement is centered on preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

“It’s a great deal for a lot of reasons, but number one by far — 99.9% of it — is that they will never have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “It’s a very strong deal. Nobody knows what it is, but it’s very strong, and most people seem to be very happy.”

Trump also said the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen fully within days.

“The Strait is going to be opening. It’s already partially opened. It’s going to be opening up soon in full over the next day or two,” he said.

Defending efforts to reach a negotiated solution, Trump argued that keeping the waterway closed would trigger a global economic crisis.

“The alternative would be a worldwide depression,” Trump said. “The stupid people want to have a worldwide depression, and they’re stupid people. So you can only go so far. You drive somebody into the ground, and a lot of bad things happen.”

He added that shipping companies would refuse to send vessels through the region if fighting continued.

“The Strait would never open, because they don’t like floating billion-dollar ships up and down a strait when there are rockets flying over them and mines all over the place. It wouldn’t be open for a long time,” Trump said.
