WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he believes Iran could join the Abraham Accords, a peace agreement signed during Trump's first term in office under which Israel normalized diplomatic relations with four Muslim-majority nations.

"Who knows, maybe even Iran can get in there," Trump said at a White House press conference beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"I think they're going to be open to it. I really believe that. But they could be a member."
