President Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, just hinted at a major diplomatic breakthrough on the horizon — and issued a firm warning on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
In a sit-down with CNBC, Witkoff stated:
“We think we have big announcements on countries coming into the Abraham Accords.”
While he didn’t name which countries may be preparing to normalize relations with Israel, insiders say multiple Gulf and North African states are in ongoing discussions.
Trump’s Signature Deal: The Abraham Accords
The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 during Trump’s first term, marked a historic shift in Middle East diplomacy. The agreements saw Israel formally normalize relations with the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, reshaping decades of Arab-Israeli conflict dynamics.
Witkoff’s comments suggest Trump may be preparing to build on those achievements as he campaigns for a second term.
Iran’s Red Line: “We Can’t Have Weaponisation”
But the optimism was paired with a blunt warning:
“We can’t have weaponisation — that will destabilise the entire region,” Witkoff said.
“Everyone will then need a bomb, and we just can’t have that.”
This reaffirms Trump’s long-standing position: Iran’s nuclear enrichment efforts will not be tolerated, particularly if it leads to potential weaponisation.
While the Biden administration has taken a more traditional diplomatic path, Witkoff’s hints suggest that a Trump-led foreign policy could once again dominate headlines — and reshape the map.
Next Wave of Peace — or a Nuclear Race?
With Iran continuing to enrich uranium and regional powers watching closely, Witkoff’s dual-message — of hope and hard lines — lands at a critical time.
For now, the world waits:
➡️ Will more countries join the Abraham Accords?
➡️ Or will Iran’s nuclear path set off a wider arms race?
“Peace through strength” may be back on the table. And this time, more nations may be ready to join.
