US President Donald Trump ties the emerging Iran deal with the Abraham Accords normalization agreements with Israel and says joining it should be “mandatory” for six Muslim nations, telling Saudi Arabia and Qatar to sign up first.

“Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all,” Trump writes on Truth Social, reiterating that if no deal is reached it will mean “Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before.”

The United Kingdom, France, Canada, Italy and Spain have blocked a NATO proposal under which each member would contribute 0.25 percent of GDP to military aid for Ukraine, the Telegraph reported. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had previously warned the plan would likely be rejected due to widespread opposition. The move comes after the UK quietly eased Russian oil sanctions, further denting its image as a Ukraine ally.
