Egypt has called for the swift conclusion of an agreement between the United States and Iran, warning that continued tensions in the Middle East risk exacerbating regional security, economic, and geopolitical challenges.
Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed the “utmost importance” of reaching a US-Iran agreement that addresses the concerns of all parties, particularly countries in the region. Such an agreement would help prevent further escalation, restore stability, and resolve outstanding issues, including Iran’s nuclear programme and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Cairo, a successful diplomatic track between Washington and Tehran could help reduce tensions across the Middle East and create an opportunity for broader regional stability and conflict resolution. Egypt urged all parties to abide by international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter, respect state sovereignty, avoid the use of force, and prioritise political and diplomatic solutions.
