Trump's Pressure on Iran to Strike a Deal Spills over on Gulf Allies
Trump says Iran will get no money or sanctions relief as he presses Gulf states to join the Abraham Accords and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
- During a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Donald Trump emphasized that negotiations with Iran exclude monetary benefits and stated the Strait of Hormuz "is going to be open to everybody."
- Military exchanges over the weekend escalated tensions after Iran reportedly planted mines in the Strait, prompting U.S. forces to strike Iranian missile launchers; Trump previously described the ceasefire as being on "life support."
- Claiming the Islamic Republic is "negotiating on fumes," Trump warned that if Iran fails to reach agreement, "then the man on my left is going to finish them off."
- Beyond Iran, Trump is pressuring Gulf allies Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar to join the Abraham Accords, arguing these nations "owe" the administration and stating, "I'm not sure we should make a deal if they don't sign."
- Addressing control of the Strait, Trump warned that "Oman will behave just like everybody else or we'll have to blow them up," asserting no single country will control the passage.
