President Donald Trump warned that the U.S. would resume bombing Iran if the country does not behave or comply with a peace agreement [1].
The threat arrives at a critical juncture as both nations prepare for a formal signing ceremony in Switzerland. Any breakdown in these negotiations could jeopardize the preliminary efforts to end the war in the Middle East.
Speaking from Evian, eastern France, during the G7 summit on June 17, 2026 [2], Trump said, "I will launch bombs again if Iran does not behave" [3]. He said the U.S. would take reprisals if the agreement is not honored [4].
The remarks were made two days before the scheduled signing ceremony in Switzerland [5]. Trump said the current arrangement is not a final settlement, saying, "The preliminary pact is not definitive" [6].
This strategy of military pressure is intended to ensure Tehran adheres to the terms of the preliminary peace agreement [7]. The G7 summit in Evian serves as the backdrop for these warnings, placing the U.S. position in view of other global leaders.
Trump said the U.S. remains committed to the peace process but will not tolerate non-compliance. The administration has signaled that the transition from a preliminary pact to a definitive treaty depends entirely on Iranian behavior [7].
“"I will launch bombs again if Iran does not behave"”
The U.S. is employing a 'maximum pressure' diplomatic strategy by coupling the promise of a peace treaty with the explicit threat of military escalation. By issuing these warnings at a G7 summit and immediately before a formal signing, the administration is attempting to secure strict compliance from Tehran while signaling to international allies that the U.S. maintains a low threshold for military intervention if the deal fails.
