President Trump to Iran: “They better behave”

President Trump made brief comments after landing in Pennsylvania for a defense summit, saying he wouldn’t give Iran a deadline before the U.S. began strikes on infrastructure like bridges or power plants as he has threatened.

“I don’t like giving deadlines, but they pretty much know — they know the story. They better behave,” he said, answering a question from a reporter.

Mohammad Ghalibaf, Iran’s speaker of the Parliament, issued a strong condemnation of the United States’ alleged abdication of the memorandum of understanding. He added the country would not stick to the MOU if they received no benefit.

“A memorandum of understanding is meaningful only when its clauses are valid and in effect,” Ghalibaf wrote Wednesday on Telegram. “If Iran is not going to benefit from the memorandum of understanding, we have no reason to adhere to such an understanding. Our armed forces, as always, have complete freedom of action to confront enemy aggression.”
