Syria might join the Abraham Accords — that should make Iran very nervous

Let’s not sugarcoat it. Syria has long been one of Israel’s most bitter enemies. It invaded in 1948. It shelled northern towns from the Golan Heights. It allied with Hezbollah and took orders from Tehran. For decades, the mere mention of peace with Israel was enough to spark protests in Damascus and outrage across the Arab world.

Now? Everything has changed.

The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 by the UAE and Bahrain, followed by Morocco and Sudan, shattered the old myth that peace in the Middle East had to wait for Palestinian approval. Instead, Arab nations began to realize what Israel already knew: peace with Israel means access to innovation, security cooperation, and economic growth.

Turkey, under Erdogan, still dreams of leading a Sunni Islamist revival, backing the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas while playing both sides of the geopolitical chessboard. Iran, meanwhile, remains the most dangerous player of all—arming terrorists, spreading chaos, and bankrolling violence in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq and, yes, Syria.

If Syria flips, Iran loses its corridor to Hezbollah. It loses leverage. It loses relevance. That’s why they’ll do everything to stop it.So will others.

And that’s the final truth Americans need to hear: you’ll know who the enemies of peace are by watching who tries to kill this deal. Whether it’s a terror group launching rockets or a Twitter activist crying “apartheid” from the safety of Brooklyn, the playbook is the same: sow outrage, block progress, and preserve the past.

But the past is over. A new Middle East is emerging—one built on trade, tech, tolerance and peace. The next likely signatory? Saudi Arabia. And after that? Who knows.

Because if Syria, the poster child for anti-Israel hostility, is willing to come to the table… then no one has an excuse anymore.And that’s exactly what Iran fears.
