Iranian Foreign Minister Engages in Diplomatic Talks in Egypt Amid Regional Tensions

The visit marks a rare high-level meeting as Iran seeks to ease tensions with Israel and its allies in the Middle East.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Egyptian officials in Cairo, marking the first such visit in a decade.
Discussions focused on de-escalating conflicts involving Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon, with an emphasis on preventing a broader regional war.
The meeting is part of Araghchi's diplomatic tour across the Middle East, including stops in Syria, Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, and Iraq.
Egypt's President El-Sissi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman have also called for a ceasefire and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Tensions remain high following Iran's missile attack on Israel on October 1, and anticipation of a potential Israeli retaliation.
