President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the proposed U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear agreement will move forward only if Saudi Arabia agrees to join the Abraham Accords, linking the landmark energy deal to a broader expansion of Middle East peace.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump stressed that the agreement would be strictly limited to peaceful civilian purposes and would not permit uranium enrichment.

“The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote. “The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The announcement was quickly welcomed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s Office, which said recent military successes against Iran have created a historic opportunity to broaden regional peace.

“The joint American and Israeli military action against the genocidal regime in Tehran and Israel’s crushing of Iran’s terror axis have created the possibility to expand the circle of peace,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.

“As President Trump has said, Saudi Arabia’s joining of the Abraham Accords would be an historic leap forward for peace in the Middle East.”

The statement concluded with the phrase: “Peace through Strength.”
