Egypt is leading intensive diplomatic efforts to mediate between the United States and Iran to encourage a negotiating path and avoid “total chaos” in the Middle East, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Wednesday. Speaking during an expanded briefing for regional and international media representatives in Cairo, Abdelatty stated that Egypt is coordinating with regional and international partners to contain the current military escalation. In a separate discussion with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Abdelatty highlighted the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Cairo and Beijing. Addressing the crisis in Sudan, Abdelatty outlined Egyptian efforts within the “Quad” framework alongside Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. He warned against social media efforts to “incite strife,” asserting that such voices do not reflect established official policies.
