[The U.S. Plans Post-War Middle East Strategy to Contain Iran and Promote Israel-Saudi Normalization]
According to a report by Axios on September 5, as cited by Jinse Finance, the Trump administration is drafting a Middle East strategy for the post-Iran war period. The strategy focuses on establishing a regional cooperation mechanism to contain Iran and expanding the normalization of relations between Israel and neighboring countries.
Two U.S. officials and two informed sources revealed that the plan is still in its early stages and aims to guide Middle East policy during the final two years of Trump's term. Sources stated that Trump recently held two meetings with senior advisors to discuss the plan and has privately expressed that he is working on "something bigger" after the end of the Iran war. The White House declined to comment.
Informed sources indicated that the strategy might include three key components:
1. U.S.-provided security guarantees and efforts to form a regional alliance among U.S. allies to contain Iran.
2. Advancing the next phase of Trump's Gaza plan, addressing the regional aftermath of the October 7 attack, implementing the Israel-Lebanon agreement, and achieving an Israel-Syria security agreement.
3. Expanding the Abraham Accords to promote normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
The report noted that the U.S. hopes the new Israeli government formed after the October 27 elections will cooperate with the strategy. However, some officials stated that Trump still plans to move forward with the proposal regardless of the Israeli election outcome. The plan is expected to take several weeks to finalize.
