President Trump said Monday that negotiations with Iran toward a deal to end the war were “proceeding nicely,” but using what has become his go-to tactic, he added a warning that if no agreement was reached, the U.S. would be, “Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!”
Mr. Trump said in his Monday morning Truth Social post that following discussions over the weekend with Persian Gulf and other regional leaders, “it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords” agreement that has already normalized relations between Israel and several majority Muslim nations.
“Most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be,” Mr. Trump said, linking what is still an emerging potential peace deal with Iran to a wider regional embrace of the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords.
“It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention,” he said.
“In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow, now that would be something special! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign,” Mr. Trump said.
“Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition,” said the president.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, in a post on X Sunday, called on Mr. Trump Sunday to “stick to your guns in getting a good deal with Iran,” adding: “Equally important, stick to your guns in insisting Saudi Arabia and others join the Abraham Accords as part of these negotiations.”
