According to Axios, citing U.S. officials and other sources with knowledge on the matter, the Trump administration is building out the plans for a post-war containment strategy for Iran. Per the report, the strategy is based on three main pillars, creating a regional diplomatic and security framework built to contain an aggressive Iran (the U.S. would provide yet unspecified guarantees under this framework), a renewed concerted effort to resolve and build out post-conflict frameworks in Lebanon and Gaza (Trump Gaza Plan included), and an expansion of the Abraham Accords.
However, per one U.S. official, speaking to Axios, “They are cooking it but it is not yet cooked,” as the strategy is in its nascent formation stages and it’s yet unclear if U.S. regional allies will be on board.
