Trump: If Iran misbehaves, US will go 'back to dropping bombs'

President Trump said that the US-Iran agreement to end the war is not a final deal, adding that the United States will resume strikes if Iran doesn’t “behave.”

Speaking during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump said, “If they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head,” referring to Iran.
