CAIRO – 31 January 2026: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Saturday reaffirmed Egypt’s continued efforts to help bring the United States and Iran back to the negotiating table to resolve the nuclear file.
El-Sisi made the remarks as he received a phone call from his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, during which they discussed developments related to Iran’s nuclear file.
The call comes amid mounting tensions between Iran and the US, after US President Donald Trump reiterated threats to strike Iran unless it agrees to negotiate a new nuclear deal, while Tehran has warned it would retaliate against any attack.
El-Sisi reaffirmed ongoing Egyptian efforts to help resume negotiations between Iran and the US with the aim of reaching a comprehensive and peaceful settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue that would bolster regional and international stability.
El-Sisi underscored that point previously in talks with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, the statement added.
The president said Egypt looks forward to all relevant parties prioritizing dialogue to overcome differences and reach a comprehensive settlement.
He reiterated Egypt’s support for all initiatives aimed at de-escalation.
El-Sisi stressed the need to avoid escalation and expressed opposition to military solutions, emphasizing that diplomatic efforts remain the only viable and effective path to resolving the crisis, in a way that spares the Middle East further instability and unrest.
The Iranian president expressed appreciation for Egypt’s constructive role in preventing escalation and safeguarding regional security and stability.
Pezeshkian affirmed Tehran’s keenness to enhance political consultation and coordination with Cairo in support of regional stability.
