Maj. Gen. (res.) Eliezer Marom estimates in an interview with 103FM that Saudi Arabia will join the Abraham Accords, but may wait for the right timing, possibly as a gift to President Trump before the US midterm elections. According to him, there is currently no legitimacy to renew the war in Iran at least until the midterm elections, and he lists two scenarios that could lead to escalation: an Iranian nuclear smoking gun, or thwarting a surprise Iranian attack that can be proven through ground missile movements. Marom assesses that the chances of renewing the war in the near term are low. Referring to the Strait of Hormuz, he claimed that the US bypasses it almost entirely through land pipelines, and that the throughput in the strait stands at 84% of wartime throughput.
