Egypt urges Iran to exercise restraint, and Pazhkian emphasizes that war is not in the interest of any side.
US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that an Iranian air defense facility that had just been established on Kashem Island in the Strait of Hormuz was targeted for a "limited" air strike. Reports in the American media reported that the attacks were defensive in nature. The President of Iran, Massoud Pazhkian, warned for his part that the renewal of armed conflicts will not serve the interests of any party. In a telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, the Egyptian Foreign Minister emphasized the need for all parties to be flexible and seriously strive to find a political solution to the crisis.
