Trump Administration Working on Post-War Middle East Strategy: Axios
The plan would align U.S. allies against Iran and seek new Israel-Arab deals as officials say drafting could take a few more weeks.
- The Trump Administration is developing a post-war Middle East strategy, Axios reported Friday, aimed at curbing Iran's regional influence while strengthening cooperation among U.S. partners.
- Three main pillars define the effort: containing Iran via regional alignment with U.S. guarantees, resolving Gaza and Israel-Syria-Lebanon security issues, and expanding the Abraham Accords to include Saudi-Israeli normalization.
- President Trump has held senior-level meetings in recent weeks to discuss the plan, describing the initiative in private as "something much bigger" for the Middle East after the war.
- Across agencies, officials are drafting the strategy, with a source noting, "They are cooking it, but it is not yet cooked," indicating completion remains several weeks away.
- While the administration hopes the Israeli government will support the strategy following the Oct 27 election, President Trump intends to pursue it regardless of the outcome.
