Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi discussed rising tensions in the region with Egyptian officials Thursday in Cairo during the first such visit by a top Iranian official to the North African nation in around a decade.
CAIRO —
El-Sissi reiterated calls to end Israel’s war in Gaza to prevent it from expanding into a regional conflict. An expanded war would have serious repercussions for the security and capabilities of all nations in the region, he added. Araghchi’s visit to Egypt is part of a wider diplomatic tour in the region meant to ease tensions. This month he met with officials in Syria, Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, and Iraq, and is expected to head to Turkey after concluding talks in Egypt.
The Iranian foreign minister met his Jordanian counterpart Ayman al-Safdiin Amman to discuss regional stability “in light of Israeli regime’s continuing atrocity and aggression in Gaza and against Lebanon,” the Iranian foreign ministry’s spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei posted on X.
