Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation with his Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, during which they discussed issues related to Tehran’s nuclear program, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.
“Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, during a phone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, discussed bilateral relations and events in the region and the world … During the conversation, topics related to the Iranian nuclear issue, which arose after the military aggression of the Israeli regime and the United States against our country, were also discussed,” the ministry said in a statement.
On June 13, Israel launched a military operation against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities, military commanders, prominent nuclear physicists and air bases after accusing the country of running a secret military nuclear program.
Iran rejected the accusations. For 12 days, they exchanged strikes, which were joined by the United States, which struck Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22.
Tehran retaliated by attacking the US air base Al Udeid in Qatar and then announced it had no intention of further escalating the conflict. US President Donald Trump said on June 23 that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire to end “the 12-day war.”
