Egypt welcomes US-Iran agreement

CAIRO – 15 June 2026: Egypt welcomed on Monday the agreement reached between the United States and Iran, describing it as a highly significant development that will help restore security and stability at both the regional and international levels.

Egypt expressed hope that the agreement will mark a major turning point toward strengthening mutual trust, establishing new foundations for cooperation, creating a supportive environment for peace, and advancing diplomatic efforts to address other regional issues. It said these efforts would positively impact the security and stability of the Middle East.

In recent months, Egypt has continued its serious and sincere efforts, in coordination and cooperation with regional and international partners, to reach this point, end the war, and open a new chapter that enhances the region’s security and stability.

Egypt reiterated its firm support for peaceful solutions and the settlement of disputes through diplomatic means.

It affirmed that resolving differences through dialogue and negotiation is a fundamental approach to achieving peace and consolidating stability, in accordance with the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.

This approach contributes to reducing tensions, resolving conflicts, and creating a more conducive environment for cooperation, development, security, stability, and prosperity for the peoples of the region.

Egypt also reaffirmed its hope that ending the war will refocus international attention on the tragic humanitarian and security situation facing the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and will expedite the implementation of the second phase of US President Donald Trump's peace plan.
