US President Donald Trump on Monday said negotiations with Iran are “proceeding nicely”, while warning that failure to reach a deal could lead to renewed conflict “bigger and stronger than ever before”.
In a lengthy post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump stressed that any agreement must be comprehensive, describing it as either a “Great Deal for all” or “no Deal at all”.
Trump said he had recently held discussions with several global leaders, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan and Jordan’s King Abdullah II, among others.

Trump used the post to push for a broader expansion of the Abraham Accords, urging countries — including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt and Jordan to simultaneously sign on to the US-brokered framework.
He claimed the accords have delivered a “financial, economic and social boom” for existing members such as the UAE and Bahrain, and argued that including Iran could transform the agreement into a “historic” geopolitical breakthrough.
Trump said he was directing his representatives to begin efforts to bring additional countries into the accords, adding that a unified Middle East would become “powerful and economically strong”.
Trump's remarks come amid ongoing tensions in West Asia, with diplomatic efforts continuing to stabilise the region and avoid further conflict with Iran.

The Abraham Accords
The Abraham Accords refer to a series of US-brokered agreements aimed at normalising relations between Israel and several Arab nations, with the broader goal of fostering long-term peace and stability in the region. The accords were formally signed on September 15, 2020, when the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain established full diplomatic ties with Israel. Morocco and Sudan followed with steps toward normalisation in 2020–2021.
Beyond formal diplomacy, the agreements institutionalised an emerging regional shift — closer strategic, economic and intelligence cooperation between Israel and several Sunni-majority Arab states. This alignment has been driven largely by shared concerns over Iran, alongside the pursuit of advanced technology, defence collaboration and stronger economic linkages with Western partners.
The accords have since opened avenues for trade, security cooperation and people-to-people engagement, with the longer-term aim of integrating Israel more fully into the regional order and reshaping West Asia’s geopolitical landscape.

"Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that! During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, I stated that, after all the work done by the United States 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. Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!). It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be. The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the Countries involved (The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a Financial, Economic, and Social BOOM, even during this time of Conflict and War, with the current Members never even suggesting leaving, or taking so much as even a pause. The 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. It will be a Document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled! It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention. In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, 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. Therefore, 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 Honor 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
