Trump administration drafts post-war Middle East strategy
The Trump administration is developing a post-war Middle East strategy designed to reshape regional power dynamics and contain Iran. According to reports from Axios, the plan is in its early stages and is being drafted by senior officials and agencies to guide U.S. policy during the remainder of the president's term.
The strategy focuses on three primary objectives:
1. Establishing a regional alliance of U.S. partners to contain Iran, with Washington potentially serving as a security guarantor. 2. Resolving tensions stemming from the October 7 attacks, which includes advancing the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire plan and implementing the Israel-Lebanon agreement. 3. Expanding the Abraham Accords, specifically by pursuing a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Additional considerations include negotiating a security arrangement between Israel and Syria. While upcoming political events, such as Israel's October elections and the U.S. midterm elections, may influence the timeline, officials indicate the administration intends to proceed with the strategy regardless of potential political deadlock in Israel.
