In a recent conversation, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Badr Abdelatty, described the attacks as \"unacceptable\" and emphasized the lack of justification for them. Abdelatty stressed the importance of de-escalation and containing regional tensions, warning of their negative repercussions on the security and stability of all countries in the region and the world. He also urged Tehran and Washington to resume talks, stating that diplomacy is the only route to settling their disputes and averting further instability.",
