'Saudi, Qatar, UAE Owe Us': Trump 'Not Sure' if Iran Deal Stands without Abraham Accords Agreement

President Trump conditions US-Iran peace deal on Arab states joining Abraham Accords, aiming to revive diplomatic initiative, with Pakistan reportedly rejecting.

  • This week, President Donald Trump insisted that Middle East partners, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, must join the Abraham Accords to participate in any peace deal with Iran.
  • Trump is attempting to re-invigorate the Abraham Accords, touted as a major foreign policy success overseen by Jared Kushner, to "solve" long-running Palestinian-Israeli and Arab-Israeli conflicts.
  • Although the Trump Administration previously offered military and economic incentives, Pakistan has already rejected these demands, and Saudi Arabia is expected to follow without firm guarantees of Palestinian self-determination.
  • Seeking a diplomatic win after "Operation Epic Fury", the Trump Administration faces depleted weapons stocks and Gulf allies questioning the US security umbrella, complicating normalization efforts.
  • Saudi Arabia has instead proposed a Helsinki Accords-style regional pact, while public opinion against Israel continues to erode, even among Trump's own MAGA base.
