Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Sunday urged dialogue as the only path to resolving the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. His remarks came during a phone conversation with US special envoy Steve Witkoff, where the two discussed the latest developments in US-Iran negotiations hosted by Pakistan.
Coordination and regional stability
According to a statement from Egypt’s Foreign Ministry, Witkoff briefed Abdelatty on Washington’s position during the negotiations, “within the framework of close coordination and continuous consultation between Egypt and the United States.” Witkoff praised “the existing cooperation and Egypt's efforts in supporting security and stability in the Middle East.” Abdelatty, in turn, stressed the importance of adhering to diplomacy and pursuing peaceful solutions “to reach an agreement on all outstanding issues to preserve regional security and stability.”
Conflict and stalled talks
More than 3,000 people have been killed in US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran since Feb. 28. Tehran launched retaliatory strikes on Israel, Iraq, Jordan, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets before a two-week ceasefire was announced earlier this week. Iranian and US delegations concluded 21 hours of talks in Islamabad early Sunday without reaching an agreement.
