Trump demands Middle Eastern countries sign Abraham Accords

US President Donald Trump has "compulsorily" called on Middle Eastern countries and others to sign the Abraham Accords after a deal to end the war with Iran is reached - while threatening "bigger and stronger than ever" military action if the two sides fail to reach an agreement to end the conflict.

"I am requesting that all countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords and that, if Iran signs the agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an honor to have them also part of this unprecedented global coalition", said Trump in a long post on the Truth Social network this Monday (25).

The president reported having discussed the matter during phone calls with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Bahrain.

He said that with "all the work" the US had done to reach a peace agreement, adherence to the Abraham Accords - a series of agreements that normalized relations between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors, including Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates - should be mandatory.

Although he stated that negotiations with Iran were progressing "well", he again warned that military operations would resume if an agreement was not reached.

"Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are progressing well! It will either be a Grand Deal for all, or no deal at all - back to the frontline and back to the fighting, but bigger and stronger than ever," he declared.

Key points of the agreement
Trump raised expectations of an imminent agreement on Saturday (23), when he said that Washington and Tehran had "largely negotiated" a memorandum of understanding on a peace deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday that Iran would not charge a toll for passage through the vital strait, but added that it was "normal for the services provided to have a price."

Before the conflict, the strait was responsible for a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.

The two sides remain at odds over several complex issues, including Iran's nuclear ambitions, Israel's war in Lebanon against the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, and Tehran's demands for the lifting of sanctions and the release of tens of billions of dollars in Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks.

A senior Trump administration official outlined what he considered the latest contours of the issues under negotiation.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Iran had agreed "in principle" to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the US naval blockade and to dispose of Tehran's highly enriched uranium.

The US understood that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, endorsed the general outline of the agreement, he added.

The official refuted suggestions that Iran would not have agreed to part with its stockpile of enriched uranium. "The question is how," said the official.

A second senior government official said on Sunday that the proposed framework would give negotiators 60 days to reach a final agreement.

Iranian sources told Reuters that in future steps, "workable formulas" could be found to resolve the dispute over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, including dilution of the material under the supervision of the UN nuclear agency.

Understand what the Abraham Accords are
The Abraham Accords are a set of agreements to normalize relations with Israel. The UAE and Bahrain signed during US President Donald Trump's first term in 2020, and were the first Arab states to recognize Israel in 25 years.

Morocco and Sudan followed suit.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, helped broker the deals.

Palestinian officials said they felt betrayed by their Arab brethren for reaching agreements with Israel without first demanding progress on the creation of a Palestinian state.

The biggest victory for Israel was the agreement with the United Arab Emirates, a major global oil producer and trading hub with diplomatic influence throughout the Middle East.

Since then, Israel and the UAE have developed close economic and security ties, including defense cooperation and a free trade pact. But the relationship has been going through a moment of tension lately.

The UAE warned Israel that annexation in the occupied West Bank would be a violation that threatens the agreement.
