According to Reuters, Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati, in a phone call with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arakhchi on Tuesday, stressed the need for restraint, prioritizing diplomacy and showing "flexibility" to reach a political solution. The request was submitted amid the apparent deadlock in negotiations between Iran and the US and Tehran's insistence on its seven-point plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and start peace talks, while Cairo tries to prevent the escalation of military conflicts and its economic and security risks in the region through mediation.
