U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on the 25th (local time) that if a deal with Iran falls through again this time, attacks against Iran will intensify.
Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social that "talks with Iran are going smoothly. This is either a 'great deal' for everyone, or no deal."
He then warned that if there is no deal, "we will return to the battlefield and attacks will resume, but the attacks (on Iran) will be bigger and stronger than ever," adding, "And nobody wants that."
Trump also said that on the 23rd he pressed Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, among others, to join the Abraham Accords during phone calls with him.
The Abraham Accords are agreements to normalize relations between Israel and Arab states, concluded during the first Trump administration in 2020, with the UAE and Bahrain already parties to the accords.
He said, "Given everything the United States has done so far to piece together this very complicated puzzle, at a minimum it should be mandatory that all of these countries sign the Abraham Accords at the same time," adding, "That will make things much better for everyone and bring real power, strength and peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years."
He also mentioned Iran joining the Abraham Accords. He wrote, "If Iran signs a deal with me, it would be an honor for Iran to become part of this unparalleled world coalition," adding, "The Middle East will be more united, stronger and economically sound than any region in the world."
