Egypt, Pakistan, and Türkiye have urged the swift resumption of talks between the United States and Iran to help end the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty discussed this with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, emphasizing coordinated regional efforts. Abdelatty also spoke with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, whose country is mediating the negotiations. The Egyptian foreign ministry highlighted the risks of escalation to regional peace and security, stressing the need for negotiations to de-escalate the conflict. This push occurs amidst reports that Washington and Tehran might return to Islamabad for further discussions, following an initial round that concluded without a breakthrough. Concurrently, a high-level Pakistani delegation, led by Army Chief Asim Munir, arrived in Tehran to facilitate negotiations for ending the war, which began on February 28. US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a potential deal, suggesting the conflict, currently under a ceasefire set to expire on April 21, could be nearing its conclusion.
