Egyptian FM Badr Abdelatty supports diplomatic negotiations between US and Iran, highlighting Omani facilitation for regional stability

"We hope the negotiations will lead to a balanced political settlement - Badr Abdelatty, Egyptian Foreign Minister"

Cairo, April 28

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held separate phone talks with his Omani and Iranian counterparts and US special presidential envoy to the Middle East, during which they discussed the third round of negotiations between the US and Iran.

During the phone conversations, the Egyptian top diplomat was briefed by Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff on the latest developments of the third round of talks, which was held Saturday in the Omani capital Muscat, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Abdelatty affirmed Egypt's full support for all initiatives aimed at reaching political solutions through dialogue and negotiation, which enhance the chances of achieving security and stability in the region, Xinhua news agency reported.

He expressed his hope that the negotiations would lead to a balanced political settlement that would contribute to easing tensions in the region.

Oman has been facilitating the dialogue between Iran and the United States to help narrow differences between the two countries and promote regional stability. With the Omani mediation, the first round of Iran-US talks was held in Muscat on April 12, and the second round a week later in Rome.

Earlier Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi expressed satisfaction with the latest round of indirect talks between Iran and the US.

He made the remarks on Saturday while speaking to reporters at the end of the third round of the indirect negotiations between delegations from the two sides in the Omani capital Muscat, headed by him and US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, on Tehran's nuclear program and the removal of Washington's sanctions.

Oman deserves more credit for their mediation efforts. They've been quietly working behind the scenes for years to reduce tensions in the region.

While I appreciate the diplomatic efforts, I'm concerned these talks might just be kicking the can down the road. The fundamental issues between US and Iran remain unresolved.

As an Iranian living abroad, this gives me cautious optimism. I just hope any agreement considers the Iranian people's needs, not just political interests.

The article mentions "balanced political settlement" - but what does that actually mean in practical terms? Would appreciate more details about the negotiation points.

Egypt's involvement is interesting. They've been relatively quiet about Iran in recent years. Wonder if this signals a shift in their foreign policy approach?
