Trump sets a condition: An agreement with Iran is conditional on Gulf states joining the Abraham Accords

In a series of statements published on May 27, 2026, former President Donald Trump set a significant condition for any future negotiations with Iran. According to reports, Trump claims that countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and a group of other nations must "immediately join the Abraham Accords," and that without this step, he is unsure whether there is any point to an agreement with Iran. As noted by Disclose.tv, Trump emphasized that these countries "owe it to us."

The reports reflect different approaches. Amir Tsarfati, who presents a distinct pro-Israel position, highlighted the dependency Trump created between regional stability and leverage over Tehran. At the same time, Abu Ali Express in English, which covers the Middle Eastern arena, notes that Trump listed a series of countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, as those that need to complete the move as part of the American interest.

Conversely, the channel 🇦🇺Land Down Under🇦🇺 presents a highly critical interpretation of these statements, arguing that Trump is "holding the world hostage to promote Israel's interests." This channel emphasizes in its coverage Trump's expanded list, which also includes Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan.

At TabZ - Alternative Media, which is identified with a conservative line, Trump was quoted as refusing to officially confirm whether the agreement is absolutely conditional, but he hinted at a "big deal" that could be made, while referring to the diplomatic complexity regarding Iran. It is worth noting that some reports, such as that of Disclose.tv, mentioned that the United Arab Emirates is already a signatory to the Abraham Accords, which testifies to the complexity of the positions presented in the former president's words.
