US President Donald Trump called on Middle Eastern countries to establish diplomatic ties with Israel after he claimed that Iran’s nuclear arsenal was “totally obliterated”.

“Now that the nuclear arsenal being ‘created’ by Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, it is very important to me that all Middle Eastern Countries join the Abraham Accords,” Trump expressed on his social media platform Truth Social.

“This will insure [sic] PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” 

The Abraham Accords normalised relations between Israel and several Arab states, drawing criticism for ignoring Palestinian rights and legitimising Israeli occupation.
