President Donald Trump has threatened to restart the war in Iran if he doesn’t like the terms of any deal agreed with Tehran.
Speaking from the G7 summit in the French Alps on Wednesday, he said that a memorandum of understanding had not been finalised but that he would go back to “shooting at them and dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head” if he did not like the agreement.
It follows the leak of a 14-point document reported to be the same as one digitally signed by the US leader, a US official shared with CNN.
Meanwhile, Israel reportedly struck targets in southern Lebanon again on Wednesday, brushing off warnings from Trump and threatening to derail the US peace process with Iran.
Israeli forces were said to have carried out an airstrike in the Nabatieh district and raids on the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, according to Lebanese media and Al Jazeera Arabic.
There was no immediate comment from Israel. Iran has warned of a “hard response” if Israel does not stop its attacks on Lebanon, and Hezbollah says Tehran promised it would not sign the final nuclear deal with the US unless Israel stops.
