Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty called for an immediate halt to military operations during separate phone conversations with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi.
The three ministers reviewed the latest regional developments and efforts to reduce tensions. Egypt placed the restoration of security and stability at the center of the exchanges as military action continued to widen regional risk.
Abdelatty urged all parties to stop escalatory measures as well as direct operations. His message treated containment as an urgent requirement for preventing the conflict from expanding further across the region.
The Egyptian position favored political and diplomatic solutions. Cairo's intervention sought to keep communication open with Iran and Oman while directing attention toward negotiation rather than another cycle of military retaliation.
Freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea formed a second core demand. Abdelatty linked access through both waterways to regional security, international trade and the protection of global supply chains.
The calls took place after the United States launched repeated attacks on Iranian targets and Iran responded against US bases and facilities across the region. Egypt's appeal therefore joined de-escalation with the protection of maritime corridors exposed to the broader confrontation.
