There is no new war, and in fact Trump is getting many of those Middle East nations to join the Abraham Accords, which will in affect make the entire Middle East peace loving nations. Doesn't sound like a war to me, and in fact it looks and sounds more like peace through strength while preventing decades long wars.

AI Overview
During his first term (2017–2021), Donald Trump did not initiate a large-scale traditional ground war like the invasions of Iraq or Afghanistan. However, his administration extensively escalated existing conflicts, authorized major military strikes, and actively drew down U.S. forces in several overseas deployments.
Key military actions and conflicts during his first term include:
1. Escalation Against ISIS and Syria
  • Syria Airstrikes: In April 2017, Trump authorized a massive strike of 59 cruise missiles on a Syrian airfield in retaliation for the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons. He authorized a second round of strikes in April 2018.
  • ISIS Caliphate: He accelerated the military campaign to defeat the territorial caliphate of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, resulting in the elimination of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October 2019.
2. Tensions and Conflicts with Iran
  • Nuclear Deal Exit: The administration withdrew from the JCPOA (Iran nuclear agreement) in 2018 and imposed heavy economic sanctions.
  • Soleimani Assassination: Tensions peaked in January 2020 when Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq.
3. Troop Drawdowns
  • Afghanistan Peace Deal: The Trump administration negotiated a conditional agreement with the Taliban in February 2020, setting a path for the phased withdrawal of U.S. troops.
  • Syria Withdrawal: He announced the withdrawal of U.S. troops from northern Syria, prompting the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis.
4. Counterterrorism Operations
  • Drone Strikes: Trump expanded the U.S. counterterrorism footprint, notably in Somalia and Yemen, relying heavily on airstrikes and relaxed rules of engagement.
  • Arms Sales: The administration continued and deepened significant arms sales to Saudi Arabia to support its military campaign in Yemen.
While Trump frequently argued that his administration did not start "new wars", critics and policy analysts point to his escalations of the War on Terror and his near-conflict scenarios in the Middle East as evidence of heavy militarization.
