US military to stay in Gulf region for a while: Trump

US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he arrives at Orly Airport Wednesday. (AFP) US President ‌Donald ​Trump said Wednesday ‌the ⁠United ‌States ‌will leave ⁠its military in the Gulf "for a while" after ​Washington struck a deal with ‌Tehran to end ⁠its ​nearly four-month ​conflict in the region.While speaking to reporters in Paris, ‌Trump ‌added it ‌would ‌be unfair for Iran ⁠not to have ballistic missiles if other countries have them."I'm saying that if other countries have ​them, it's a little bit unfair for them ‌not to have ⁠some," ​Trump told reporters in ​Paris."If Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some, I would say in relative proportion, I think it's okay."Earlier Wednesday, he also said his new ceasefire agreement with ‌Iran was not final and he could resume the war if he is unsatisfied, even as Israel launched ‌fresh airstrikes in Lebanon where fighting ⁠threatens the wider truce."It's a ‌memorandum of understanding. And if I don't like it, we'll go ‌back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head," Trump said at a G7 summit in France of the agreement, reached three ⁠days ago."If I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head, OK?"Leaders hailed the agreement at the summit, held in the French town of Evian-les-Bains, an hour's drive along the shore of Lake Geneva from where the Iran ceasefire memorandum is due to be signed at a ceremony across the Swiss border tomorrow.Tehran's foreign ministry Wednesday said it was considering a plan for the presidents of the US and Iran to sign the deal ending the Middle East war, ahead of an expected ceremony in Switzerland."So far, our plans for the Geneva meeting have not changed," ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said."Regarding the signing of the memorandum of understanding, one idea is that it be done by the presidents of the two countries, which is currently under review."If the presidents were to sign the document, he added, "in principle it would be done remotely."Tehran has previously said the United States and Iran would be represented at the meeting in Switzerland by Vice President JD Vance and parliament speaker and top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, respectively.US President Donald Trump said at a G7 summit in France on Wednesday that he expected the accord with Iran to "be signed shortly, tomorrow, maybe the next day".Trump added that he "might" stay in Europe for the signing but added that as a memorandum of understanding "it might not be the kind of a document I should be signing".  Related Story
