President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu hold a press conference in Washington DC.
President Trump announced on Monday that he wants every country involved in US-Iran negotiations to sign on to the Abraham Accords as a mandatory term of a peace agreement.
Trump famously brokered the agreement to normalize diplomatic, economic, and security relations between Israel and Arab nations in his first term. Currently, the signatory countries include Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump announced the “largely negotiated” framework on Saturday. Included in the plan is a 60-day ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, concessions from Iran on nuclear enrichment, and Hezbollah’s ending its offensive against Israel.
Early reports on the deal with Iran suggest that an agreement is near and that Iran is poised to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and abandon its nuclear enrichment program.
The new conditions of the deal seemingly come in an attempt to appease Israel advocates who have criticized Trump for negotiating an end to the war. Though Trump says he proposed the mandate on Saturday while speaking with Middle Eastern leaders.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, neocons like Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Mark Levin have been outspokenly against Trump’s work to make a deal with Iran, claiming that the terms of the agreement would empower Iran to build nuclear weapons and give it billions of dollars.
Trump responded to the criticism on Sunday, writing, “Don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about.”
“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon,” he said.

After trashing the President’s deal initially, Graham released a statement on Sunday, writing, “If in fact as a result of these negotiations to end the Iranian conflict, our Arab and Muslim allies in the region agreed to join the Abraham Accords, it would make this agreement one of the most consequential in the history of the Middle East.”
“President Trump: Stick to your guns in getting a good deal with Iran. Equally important, stick to your guns in insisting Saudi Arabia and others join the Abraham Accords as part of these negotiations,” he further urged the President.
If in fact as a result of these negotiations to end the Iranian conflict, our Arab and Muslim allies in the region agreed to join the Abraham Accords, it would make this agreement one of the most consequential in the history of the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan…

Trump on Monday released a lengthy statement on Truth Social, writing, “It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all, warning Iran that if a deal fails, the war will be “bigger and stronger than ever before.”
Trump then revealed that while speaking with Arab mediators on Saturday to negotiate a memorandum of understanding, he proposed a mandate that “all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.” He further suggested that Iran, too, should sign the Abraham Accords.
“I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if 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,” he said. “I am asking my Representatives to begin, and successfully complete, the process of signing these Countries into the already Historic Abraham Accords.”
Full statement below:
Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that! During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.
Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!). It 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. The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the Countries involved (The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a Financial, Economic, and Social BOOM, even during this time of Conflict and War, with the current Members never even suggesting leaving, or taking so much as even a pause.
The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have been great for them, and will be even better for everybody, and bring true Power, Strength, and Peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years. It will be a Document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled! It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit.
If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention. In 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! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign.
Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if 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.
The Middle East would be United, Powerful, and Economically Strong, like perhaps no other area, anywhere in the World! By copy of this TRUTH, I am asking my Representatives to begin, and successfully complete, the process of signing these Countries into the already Historic Abraham Accords. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
