US President Donald Trump's proposal to link an Iran peace deal with the Abraham Accords has met significant resistance from key regional powers, particularly Pakistan and Turkey. Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif rejected the idea, stating it contradicts the country's fundamental ideologies, particularly its stance on Israel and Palestine. Meanwhile, Turkey's potential participation could be negotiated through strategic arrangements, although its historical ties with Israel complicate matters. The involvement of Saudi Arabia remains uncertain, as any normalization is tied to security guarantees and the Palestinian issue. Additionally, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to ongoing conflicts has led to a severe global economic impact, with energy supplies disrupted and recovery projected to take years. Experts warn that even with diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions, the ramifications of this crisis will continue to affect the global economy for an extended period.
