Trump’s New Middle East Formula: Peace With Iran… in Exchange for Normalization?

Trump’s New Middle East Formula: Peace With Iran… in Exchange for Normalization?

“We either get a great deal with Iran, or no deal at all.”

That was Donald Trump’s message after Saturday’s regional talks — but the real headline came next: he openly pressured participating Arab leaders to sign the Abraham Accords.

Why is Washington suddenly linking Iran negotiations to normalization with Israel?

Because the issue is no longer just about Tehran’s nuclear file. It is about redesigning the Middle East itself.

Since the launch of the Abraham Accords in 2020, the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan formally normalized ties with Israel under US sponsorship. But the strategic prize was always larger states: Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, Algeria, and Oman.

Trump now appears determined to revive the project as part of a wider anti-Iran regional architecture:

— Integrate Israel economically and militarily into the Arab world

— Create a regional NATO-style security bloc

— Isolate Iran and resistance movements

— Secure trade corridors from India to Europe through the Gulf and Israel

— Reduce China’s and Russia’s influence in West Asia

But which countries are resisting?

Saudi Arabia has slowed normalization after Gaza’s destruction and the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians since October 2023.

Lebanon remains officially opposed due to the conflict with Israel and the role of Hezbollah.

Iraq criminalized normalization in 2022 with penalties reaching life imprisonment.

Algeria has repeatedly rejected the accords publicly.

Qatar and Kuwait continue avoiding formal normalization despite indirect coordination with Washington.

From the Axis of Resistance perspective, this is not “peace.” It is a geopolitical restructuring project designed to dismantle the Palestinian cause and transform Israel from a contested entity into the military and economic center of the region.

The critical question:

If normalization truly brings “stability,” why has the region become more militarized, polarized, and volatile since 2020?

And another:**

Is Washington seeking peace with Iran — or demanding Iran’s strategic surrender while simultaneously normalizing Israel’s regional supremacy?
