An Iranian source claims that US President Donald Trump held a secret conference call with several Arab heads of state to discuss normalizing relations in exchange for ending the war with Iran, according to the Arabic desk channel Abu Saleh. The report is unverified and attributed to a single source.
An Iranian source, cited by the Arabic desk channel Abu Saleh, alleges that President Trump conducted a secret conference call with several Arab heads of state. According to the claim, the discussion centered on terms for normalizing relations between those states and Israel — or potentially between the Arab states and Iran — in return for ending the war with Iran. The source did not name which Arab leaders participated, nor specify the contents of any proposed deal.
This unverified allegation arrives amid an active diplomatic push by the Trump administration to reach an agreement with Tehran on its nuclear program and regional posture. As The Zioneer has reported (BACKGROUND items on June 9–14), Trump has publicly expressed optimism that Iran wants a deal, conducted phone conversations with Iranian officials, and overseen backchannel talks. Israeli leaders, according to previous reports, have been bracing for the outcome while being largely sidelined from direct negotiations.
The claim is attributed to a single, uncorroborated channel and has not been confirmed by any official US, Israeli, or Arab source. If substantiated, it would mark a significant escalation in the administration's diplomatic strategy — broadening the process beyond the US-Iran channel to include Arab states as potential guarantors or partners in a normalization package. The exact structure of any 'normalization-for-peace' trade remains unclear, with key details — including the parties, the timeline, and the specific concessions — entirely unconfirmed at this stage.
