WASHINGTON \u2014 President Trump claimed Monday that he had demanded the leaders of six Muslim nations join the Abraham Accords if they want to be part of the Iran nuclear deal, which he said is \u201cproceeding nicely!\u201d<\/p>\n

The president said he told the heads of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, and Jordan during a Saturday call that he wants those countries to normalize relations with Israel by agreeing to the 2020 US-brokered accords. Also included on the call were the leaders of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which are already signatories to the accords.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, \u00a0it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,\u201d Trump recounted on Truth Social in a Memorial Day post.<\/p>\n

The UAE and Bahrain were the first two nations to sign on to the Abraham Accords in September 2020, later joined by Morocco that December and Sudan the following January.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be,\u201d added Trump, saying that he was \u201cmandatorily requesting\u201d the concession.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they don\u2019t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump even suggested that Iran could join the Abraham Accords, which would amount to an extraordinary breakthrough given nearly five decades of hostilities between Tehran and Jerusalem. It was not immediately clear whether Israel would accept normalizing relations with the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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!\u201d Trump declared in the post.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I]f 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout his presidency, Trump has sought to push Saudi Arabia into normalizing relations with Israel, reportedly having tense discussions about the topic last year with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.<\/p>\n

The Saudis and other Arab nations have insisted that the Palestinian issue be resolved before full normalization with Israel can be achieved.<\/p>\n

Before the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on the Jewish state, the Saudi crown prince repeatedly signaled that his country was moving in that direction.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

But Israel\u2019s ground war in Gaza has inflamed tensions with the Jewish state\u2019s Arab neighbors.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration is trying to iron out a \u201cbroad template\u201d of a peace plan with Iran, with a senior official claiming Sunday the sides were about 95% of the way there.<\/p>\n

After speculation mounted over the weekend that a deal was imminent, Trump publicly stressed that he told his team not to \u201crush\u201d into it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNegotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all \u2014 Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before \u2014 And nobody wants that!\u201d the president added in his Truth post. <\/p>\n
