The Abraham Accords, Iran’s Activity in Western Asia, and the United States’ Extra-Regional Intervention

The Abraham Accords, also known as the joint statement of Washington, Tel Aviv, Emirates, and Bahrain, was an initiative by Donald Trump, the former US president, which was made on August 13, 2020. Etiologically speaking, the Abraham Accords resulted from the Iran-Israel conflicts, which led to the rapprochement between Israel and the Persian Gulf countries. As for its security ramifications, the Abraham Accords will be most effective on the regional security of Western Asia. In this research, we identify the grounds of the formation of the Abrahams Accords, diagnose the factors that contributed to its formation, the phenomenon of Trumpism, and the future of the Abrahams Accords and its impact on the regional security of Western Asia. The main question of this research is: What reasons and causes led to the formation of the Abraham Accords and how would it affect the regional security of Western Asia? The present research is an applied study with respect to its objective. Data collection was carried out through observation, reading, and indexing. Moreover, in its nature, the research is descriptive and analytic, using the theoretical model of the balance of threat. The findings show that the Abraham Accords resulted from Trump’s deal of the century and normalization of relations between some Arabic countries, such as United Arabs Emirates and Bahrain, and Tel Aviv. As for its security implications, the Accords leads to a redefinition of the regional order and a new blocking of power in Hebrew-Arabic countries and the coalition against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
