New Middle East in the Making: Iran’s Post-Regime Pivot

Analyst Pejman Bijan argues that a post-regime Iran could redefine regional power by splitting Europe and the West, favoring a Saudi-Pakistan-Turkey bloc that keeps the region in an Islamist “insecurity” framework, or else a “New Middle East” anchored in free commerce and normalization between Israel, Iran and Gulf states. He ties this struggle to competing global powers (US, China, Russia) and highlights Mecca defense pacts and IMEC as indicators of future alignments, urging Western support for Iran’s pro-democracy, secular current while warning against deals with the regime. Europe is portrayed as divided between engagement with reformists and calls for change, and the author stresses the importance of backing Iranian civil society before it is sidelined by pressure or instability.

Mecca defense pact among Saudi, Pakistan and Turkiye reframes Middle East security

Israel has not officially responded to the Mecca Joint Defence Pact signed by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye, a mutual‑defense pledge analysts say could shift regional power dynamics and reduce reliance on the US, complicating Israel’s security calculus ahead of elections. Turkey is viewed as a growing threat, Saudi Arabia remains cautious about normalization, and Pakistan does not recognize Israel; Netanyahu may frame the pact for electoral purposes while weighing implications for actions in Lebanon and Syria.

Netanyahu: Oval Office talks with Trump forge a united front on Iran

Netanyahu called his Oval Office meeting with Trump excellent and one of the best conversations with a U.S. president, stressing full partnership and a shared goal to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons; his adviser Caroline Glick said the U.S.-Israel alliance is fully aligned on Iran and regional issues, with discussions also touching on expanding the Abraham Accords and the U.S.-Israel-Lebanon framework, while Trump had previously indicated frustration about Israeli intel on Iran.

Trump ties Saudi-Israel normalization to civil nuclear pact

Trump ties Saudi-Israel normalization to civil nuclear pact

President Trump again links a Saudi civil nuclear deal to Riyadh’s normalization of ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords, saying the pact can only proceed if Israel and Saudi Arabia formalize relations; the agreement, signed earlier, would span about 30 years with U.S. oversight, and Riyadh’s stance on Palestinian statehood remains a barrier—while U.S. officials insist there will be no uranium enrichment and the deal includes monitoring.

Trump ties Saudi nuclear deal to Abraham Accords, flags no enrichment

Trump says the U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear agreement will be conditioned on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations with Israel. The pact, signed in Washington, would help develop Saudi Arabia’s civilian nuclear program and reportedly includes a study on possible future uranium enrichment, with safeguards and potential IAEA verification. Critics warn leverage over normalization could diminish, while Netanyahu touts potential peace gains; the deal remains separate from a formal Saudi–Israeli peace agreement.

Trump's Saudi nuclear deal hits a last-minute snag

The US formally concluded a 123 Agreement to help Saudi Arabia develop civilian nuclear power, but Trump then posted that the deal would be conditioned on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords with Israel. Analysts say this unexpected demand likely derailed the pact, with concerns that the deal gave Riyadh too much leverage, opposition from Israel and other Gulf partners, and bipartisan resistance in Congress. In short, Trump’s last‑minute move appears to have blown up a signed nuclear deal and angered Saudi leaders while leaving questions about U.S. regional strategy.

Trump ties Saudi nuclear deal to Abraham Accords, triggering a rapid reversal

A long-awaited US-Saudi civilian nuclear agreement was announced but immediately complicated when Trump publicly insisted Riyadh join the Abraham Accords, denying that enrichment would be allowed. The rollout sparked White House tensions and criticism from experts and conservative media, with reports of possible Netanyahu influence and Saudi officials blindsided by the sudden condition, while proponents tout the deal’s trade and safety safeguards.

Trump ties Saudi nuclear deal to Abraham Accords, signaling conditional path forward

President Trump said the U.S.–Saudi civilian nuclear cooperation hinges on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords with Israel, a claim alongside a separate DOE announcement of a long-term peaceful nuclear partnership and a safeguard agreement that still requires congressional approval. While some reports suggest enrichment capabilities, Trump denied material enrichment, and critics warn the pact could spark a regional arms race. The IAEA has not yet received a verification request, and responses from Saudi Arabia and U.S. lawmakers remain uncertain.

Trump ties Saudi nuclear deal to Israel normalization

Trump said any U.S.-brokered civil nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia would require Riyadh to normalize ties with Israel via the Abraham Accords, making the agreement contingent on regional peace; the pact reportedly allows enrichment and could include a Saudi enrichment facility, drawing proliferation concerns, while the deal faces congressional review and scrutiny over inspections and details.

Saudi Nuclear Deal Hinges on Israel Ties, Trump Says

Trump says Saudi Arabia's civilian nuclear deal with the U.S. hinges on Riyadh normalizing relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords, and that the agreement will not include uranium enrichment; the deal will be sent to Congress for review under the Atomic Energy Act after signing ceremonies between the U.S. Energy Secretary and the Saudi Energy Minister, while Democrats warn it could spur a regional nuclear race amid concerns about Iran.

Pakistan Holds Its Ground Against Abraham Accords Push

Pakistan remains highly unlikely to join the Abraham Accords, upholding seven decades of not recognizing Israel and tying any normalisation to a viable Palestinian state; domestic political costs from religious parties, public opinion, and its Kashmir narrative constrain any shift, while Saudi Arabia’s stance could be pivotal but is unlikely to be swayed easily, especially amid regional anger over Gaza after the war.
