Washington
\nUS President Donald Trump said on Monday that negotiations with Iran were \u201cproceeding nicely\u201d and said he asked countries including the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt and Jordan to sign onto the Abraham Accords as part of US efforts to reach a deal with Iran.
\nIn a post on Truth Social, Trump said, \u201cIt 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 he said.
\nHe further said that during his discussions on Saturday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Qatar\u2019s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, as well as Field Marshal Asim Munir, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah II, and Bahrain\u2019s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
\n\u201cI stated that, after all the work done by the US 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,\u201d he stated.
\nTrump said that the countries discussed included Saudi Arabia, the UAE (already a member), Qatar, Pakistan, T\u00fcrkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a member). He added that while one or two might have reasons not to join, \u201cthat will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able\u201d to make the settlement a far more historic event than it would otherwise be.
\nHe said the Abraham Accords had proven to be, for the countries involved (the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a financial, economic, and social boom, even during a time of conflict and war, with current members never suggesting leaving or even pausing participation. \u201cThe 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.
\nIt will be a document respected like no other that has ever been signed anywhere in the world,\u201d he added.
\nThe US president said the process should begin with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with others expected to follow. He warned that those who do not sign \u201cshould not be part of this deal, in that it shows bad intention\u201d.
\n\u201cIn speaking to numerous of the great leaders mentioned above, they would be honoured, 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,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cTherefore, 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 honour 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,\u201d he said.
\nTrump said those countries would be honoured to have Iran as part of the accords, a set of agreements to normalise relations with Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
