00:26President Donald Trump is now attempting
00:29something far bigger than just a ceasefire with Iran.
00:34Trump is pushing for a massive expansion of the Abraham Accords
00:38as part of a sweeping new Middle East deal.
00:42And according to Trump himself,
00:44there will be no partial agreement,
00:47no temporary fix, no narrow compromise.
00:51In a lengthy Truth Social post,
00:54Trump declared that negotiations with Iran are proceeding nicely,
00:58but warned that any final arrangement must become what he called a great deal.
01:05And then came the ultimatum.
01:07Trump said countries participating in the current diplomatic process
01:12must also join the Abraham Accords,
01:15the U.S.-brokered normalization framework between Israel and Arab states.
01:21The message signals a dramatic attempt to reshape the entire regional security order,
01:27using the Iran talks as leverage.
01:31Before making the announcement,
01:33Trump reportedly held discussions with several powerful regional leaders,
01:38including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
01:42UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nayan,
01:46Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Fani,
01:50Pakistan Army Chief Asim Mounir,
01:52Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
01:56Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi,
01:59Jordan's King Abdullah II,
02:02and Bahrain's King Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa.
02:06Trump praised the existing Abraham Accords members,
02:10including the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan,
02:15claiming the agreements created a financial, economic, and social boom.
02:20He called the Accords a pathway to peace and strength for the Middle East
02:25for the first time in 5,000 years.
02:29But perhaps the most striking part of Trump's statement was this.
02:33He said he would even welcome Iran into the Abraham Accords
02:38if Tehran agrees to a comprehensive deal with Washington,
02:42a historic possibility that would have been considered unthinkable just months ago.
02:49The broader negotiations currently focus on a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz,
02:55sanctions relief, maritime security, and future nuclear restrictions.
03:00But major disagreements remain,
03:02especially over Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile
03:07and Tehran's proxy network.
03:09Analysts say Trump is now trying to combine all these issues
03:14into one giant regional agreement,
03:17linking diplomacy, economic integration,
03:21security guarantees, and normalization
03:23into a single geopolitical package.
03:27Supporters say it could redefine the Middle East.
03:30Critics warn it may be too ambitious
03:33and too politically explosive to succeed.
03:36The stakes could hardly be higher.
03:39Because Trump is no longer pursuing just a ceasefire,
03:43he appears to be attempting a complete redesign
03:46of the region's future balance of power.
