By attaching the Abraham Accords as a condition after the nuclear deal was already announced, Washington has transformed a declared achievement into an open negotiation.

U.S. reasserts leverage over Saudi Arabia by weaponizing nuclear technology access. Strengthens Israel's regional position by making normalization a prerequisite for Saudi advancement. Potentially isolates Iran further. Shifts balance toward U.S.-Israel-Gulf Arab alignment while reducing Saudi autonomy in nuclear negotiations.
Similar to Cold War-era U.S. conditioning of military aid on geopolitical alignment; echoes 1970s-80s linkage diplomacy where nuclear technology served as bargaining chip for regional realignment.

Potential long-term effects on energy prices and inflation if nuclear deal stalls; defense sector growth could benefit some consumers through employment, but geopolitical tension may increase commodity price volatility affecting household costs.
Likely congressional scrutiny of nuclear non-proliferation agreements; potential diplomatic negotiations with Saudi Arabia and Israel; possible sanctions or trade policy adjustments; regulatory review of foreign investment in U.S. defense contractors.
