Donald Trump called on Middle Eastern countries to sign the "Abraham Accords," which would restore normal relations between Israel and Arab nations if a peace agreement with Iran is reached.
On Monday, 25 May 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump made a "compelling" proposal for Middle Eastern and other regional countries to sign the Abraham Accords after successfully reaching a peace deal to end the Iran war. At the same time, he threatened to use military measures "greater and more severe than ever before" if both sides fail to reach an agreement to end the conflict.
"I am making a request, somewhat coercive, and if Iran signs an agreement with me, as President of the United States, it would be a great honor to see them join this unparalleled global alliance," Trump stated in a post on Truth Social.
Trump's post further stated that he discussed this issue during phone calls with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. Given the "full efforts" the U.S. has invested to promote a peace agreement, joining the Abraham Accords is deemed essential.
The Abraham Accords are a series of agreements that Trump has pushed for years to restore normal relations between Israel and some neighboring Arab countries, including Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
Although Trump said that negotiations with Iran are progressing "smoothly," he reiterated his warning that military operations would resume if no agreement is reached.
"Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are going smoothly! But it must be a great agreement for all parties; otherwise, no deal will be made—which means a return to battle and fighting again, but it will be greater and more severe than ever before," Trump concluded.
