Trump stuns Arab leaders into silence in dramatic leaked phone call as President demands 'great deal' from Iran: 'I will blow **** up'

Donald Trump told Arab leaders he will only broker a peace deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if they normalize relations with Israel, according to a leaked phone call.

The most powerful leaders in the Middle East, including those from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, joined the President on a conference call on Saturday to discuss progress toward ending the US-Iran war and reopening the vital oil passageway.

In return, Trump pressed the leaders to normalize ties with Israel, a demand aimed at nations that have opposed the Jewish state since its founding in 1948.

Arab leaders were so stunned by the demand that they refused to respond, remaining entirely silent on the call, according to Axios.

After a prolonged silence, Trump nervously joked, 'Are they still there?'

With the silence unbroken, Trump ended the call by announcing that his envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff would follow up on Israel normalization in the weeks ahead.

Following the dramatic weekend call, peace talks between the US and Iran have stalled on Monday, with both sides at an impasse over Tehran's uranium stockpile and the unfreezing of Iranian assets, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Daily Mail are professional leakers. That’s why the entire Daily Mail staff all wear Depends, and probably need a diaper change several times a day.

Pres DJT stuned them into silence. The Sunni Arab nations that are supposed to fear an apocalyptic nuclear Twelver Iran. But who are now making noises that they can live with it. Live with the IRGC (and their backer China) controlling Hormuz oil flows.

Roughly one-tenth (about 10%) of Iran’s total population resides within the city limits of Tehran, while the broader metropolitan area houses approximately 18-19%. As the nation’s commercial epicenter, the city hosts about 30% of the public-sector workforce and an estimated 45% of Iran’s large industrial firms. I figure Trump has thought about that.

Preface: I like the Daily Mail as a British tabloid. They publish things that no American media will. However, they jump the shark to publish anything sensational.
~~~~~~~

WHERE is their coverage of the Abraham Accords? Agreements in place between Israel and numerous Arab countries.

The Arabs hate the Iranians. It goes way back to Persians. These days they have fights with Shia vs. Sunni. Nothing has changed in the rivalry since 3,000 years or more. Now they just use different excuses. Islam is only 1300 years old. 700 AD. These tribals have been fighting for several thousand years before that.

My head spins like an owl trying to discern the modern rivalries.

Human nature, original sin, seeks power and control. Ever since Cain and Abel.

Now the devil and demons walk the earth, “seeking whom to devour”.

@realdonaldtrump ~ TRUTH Social [I divided it into paragraphs]

Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!

During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, [...]

I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords. Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!). It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be.

The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the Countries involved (The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a Financial, Economic, and Social BOOM, even during this time of Conflict and War, with the current Members never even suggesting leaving, or taking so much as even a pause. The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have been great for them, and will be even better for everybody, and bring true Power, Strength, and Peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years.

It will be a Document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled! It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.

In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow, now that would be something special! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign. Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it.

Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition. The Middle East would be United, Powerful, and Economically Strong, like perhaps no other area, anywhere in the World!

By copy of this TRUTH, I am asking my Representatives to begin, and successfully complete, the process of signing these Countries into the already Historic Abraham Accords. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Don’t worry Arab leaders, he has made big comments before in this war and other areas then forgotten or dismissed them.

If true such a demand can not lead to any positive outcome. Trump seems to think that the U.S. should be in charge of the foreign policy of the Arab nations. That is not how it works.

I think Trump is and has been overall a great president but writing things such as the above makes me weary of the man’s ego. A great president and a very flawed man. I want more of the former and less of the latter.
