Egypt's efforts to mediate de-escalation talks between the United States and Iran have gained momentum in recent days. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has publicly expressed his support for the negotiations, calling on both parties to refrain from actions that could lead to a regional war.
This stance is significant given the need for guarantees regarding the lifting of sanctions as a condition for Iran's participation in the talks. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has emphasized this point, highlighting it as crucial for his country's involvement.
The Egyptian mediation efforts come at a critical time, with tensions between the US and Iran running high due to disagreements over regional influence. The involvement of Egypt, a key player in the region, is seen as an attempt to prevent further escalation and promote stability in the Middle East.
