Trump urges all Mideast nations to join Abraham Accords after Iran’s “obliterated” nuclear program
Story by Susan Mbamah
Following a reported strike that destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities in June, President Donald Trump is urging all nations in the Middle East to join the Abraham Accords.
In a post on his TruthSocial account, Trump claimed the destruction of Iran’s nuclear program created a crucial opportunity to expand the normalization agreements he brokered during his presidency.
“Now that the nuclear arsenal being ‘created’ by Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, it is very important to me that all Middle Eastern Countries join the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote. He believes that expanding the accords “will insure PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.”
Trump’s comments come as the conflict between Israel and Hamas enters its 671st day. Although he didn’t specify what prompted the timing of his message, it seems to be related to the increased regional instability and renewed diplomatic interest in expanding normalization agreements between Israel and Arab states.

The original Abraham Accords were signed in 2020 and 2021 between Israel and four Muslim-majority nations: the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. Attempts to expand these agreements have since stalled due to conflicts in Gaza and concerns about Iran’s regional activities.
The June strike on Iran’s nuclear program, which has been widely attributed to Israel but not officially confirmed, reportedly crippled Tehran’s enrichment capabilities. Despite Iran’s vow of retaliation, no major escalation has occurred, which has created a window for new diplomatic proposals.
Trump’s remarks also come amid other significant developments in the region. The families of Israeli hostages are preparing to protest a key cabinet meeting, fearing that a new military offensive in Gaza could jeopardize the release of their loved ones.
