Trump’s Cuba gambit: Leverage to corner Iran and moderate Sunni camp
President Trump is linking the Iran deal to the participation of moderate Sunni nations in the Abraham Accords, marking a shift in U.S. diplomacy. This strategy aims to pressure these nations, which have historically sought U.S. protection without normalizing relations. The article suggests that the U.S. could leverage its military capabilities to influence Iran and reshape regional dynamics.
- ▪Trump has indicated that no Iran deal will occur without moderate Sunni nations joining the Abraham Accords.
