Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty spoke to his Iranian and Omani counterparts during separate phone calls to discuss efforts to de-escalate tensions and “ensure freedom of navigation,” Al Jazeera reports.
Abdelatty spoke to Abbas Araghchi and Badr Albusaidi over ongoing developments and efforts to “restore security and stability in the region”.
“The call highlighted the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, considering it a key factor for regional security and stability, and to prevent further escalation and speculation in the region,” a foreign ministry statement said.
