Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has discussed the Iran-Israel conflict with Iranian and US officials, Al Jazeera quotes a statement from his ministry as saying.

The ministry said Abdelatty discussed ways to de-escalate tensions in the region during separate calls with Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi, and the US special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.

Abdelatty emphasised the importance of a ceasefire and diplomacy to contain the escalating situation and limit the risk of a full-scale confrontation in the region, it added.
