According to a report by Axios (Barak Ravid), the Trump administration is developing a comprehensive regional framework for the post-war period, designed to shape American Middle East policy for years to come. The plan includes a regional alliance of US allies to contain Iran, expansion of the Abraham Accords with an emphasis on Israeli-Saudi normalization, a potential Israel-Syria security agreement, and continued implementation of the Israel-Lebanon agreement. Trump held two meetings with senior advisors on the matter in recent weeks, but the plan remains in early formulation stages.
The Axios report, cited by Barak Ravid, indicates that the Trump administration is moving beyond the immediate military campaign against Iran to shape a comprehensive post-war regional order. Central to the plan is the establishment of a regional framework of American allies designed to contain Iran, with the United States serving as guarantor. The plan also envisions expanding the Abraham Accords, with a particular emphasis on advancing normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia — a long-standing US foreign policy priority.
Additional components under consideration include a security agreement between Israel and Syria, continued implementation of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire framework, and advancing the next phase of the US plan for Gaza. According to the report, Trump has held two meetings with senior advisors on the plan in recent weeks, but it remains in early formulation stages and is expected to take shape over the coming weeks.
The Zioneer has previously reported on related US diplomatic efforts, including a draft Memorandum of Understanding with Iran reported in June, as well as Trump's proposal for US control of Gaza — elements that this broader regional plan appears to consolidate.
