Egyptian and Kuwaiti foreign ministers have urged for an end to escalating tensions and a return to US-Iran negotiations, according to Egypt's Foreign Ministry. The call came during a phone conversation between Egypt's Badr Abdelatty and Kuwait's Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, as reported by Reuters. The two ministers emphasized the importance of de-escalation and restarting diplomacy between Iran and the United States, expressing their priority on these issues.
They highlighted the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed on June 18 between Iran and the United States as a framework to resume talks and seek political solutions that could prevent further regional tension and instability. The ministers also discussed regional security concerns, urging all sources of tension to be addressed in a way that promotes stability and security in the region.
Under the MoU, Iran and the United States were initially set to hold negotiations within 60 days, but the talks ended on August 17, with the future of the discussions remaining uncertain following recent escalations.
