The Iranian and Egyptian foreign ministers discussed coordinated efforts by key regional powers to halt the Israeli aggression and prevent further escalation of tensions, Iranian media reported.

During a meeting held on the sidelines of the D-8 ministerial gathering in Cairo on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, addressed various bilateral and regional issues.  

Araghchi expressed appreciation for Egypt’s hospitality and its successful hosting of the Developing Eight Islamic Countries (D-8) meeting, expressing hope that the summit would yield outcomes beneficial to developing Islamic nations and the broader Muslim world.  

The two top diplomats emphasized the pivotal roles of Iran and Egypt within the region and the Islamic world, calling for strengthened cooperation among D-8 member states, particularly in economic sectors.

The Iranian Foreign Minister also expressed optimism about Egypt's effective leadership in revitalizing the D-8 organization and reiterated Tehran's readiness to support Cairo in these efforts.  

The discussion extended to regional developments, particularly "Israel's" expanding aggression from Gaza and Lebanon to Syria.  

Araghchi and Abdelatty underscored the importance of regional collaboration, particularly between Iran and Egypt, to end Israeli assaults and prevent further conflict.
