Iran's foreign minister visits Cairo to address regional tensions with Egypt
Summary: Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, visited Cairo to discuss regional tensions with Egyptian officials, marking the first visit by a senior Iranian official in nearly ten years. Talks focused on deescalating conflicts involving Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi emphasized the need to end Israel's war in Gaza to prevent a wider regional conflict. He also called for humanitarian aid delivery and a halt to escalations in Lebanon and the West Bank.
Araghchi's visit is part of a broader diplomatic tour in the region, which includes meetings with officials from Syria, Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, and Jordan. This comes amid rising tensions following Iran's missile attacks on Israel earlier this month.
