US President Donald Trump has called on Middle Eastern leaders to back the Abraham Accords as negotiations with Iran advance towards a potential agreement aimed at ending the Iran war and reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz. During a recent phone call with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and others, Trump received support for the diplomatic push, despite the UAE's previous hawkish stance on Iran. The emerging agreement may require Iran to relinquish its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, with Russia possibly taking custody of some of it. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is critical to alleviating the global energy crisis triggered by its closure. However, Saudi Arabia remains cautious, insisting on a clear path towards a Palestinian state before normalizing relations with Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the need for any final agreement with Iran to eliminate nuclear threats while preserving Israel's defense rights. Trump's envoys will follow up on the normalization discussions in the coming weeks.
