Drafting the Post-War Plan
Informed sources have reported that Trump and his senior team are drafting a plan for the "day after" the war, and this plan is expected to be finalized after the U.S. midterm elections. The U.S. State Department has also sent out initial invitations for this meeting. According to one source, the scope of this meeting may expand, and officials from other Arab and Islamic countries may also participate.
In this context, an Israeli source reported that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, is also interested in meeting with Trump in New York, but no specific time for this meeting has been set yet.
Trump also mentioned the U.S. nearing the end of the war with Iran, claiming that Iran wants an agreement and that the U.S. can reach an agreement with this country at any time. He believes that Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons and also predicted that with the end of the war, oil and gasoline prices will decrease.
This is not the first time Trump has consulted with leaders of Arab and Islamic countries about regional issues on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Last year, he also presented a draft plan for ending the Gaza war to the leaders of eight Arab and Islamic countries.
In another development, Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, during his trip to Beijing, had a phone conversation with Asim Munir, the Commander of the Pakistan Army, discussing the latest regional developments.
