[47118] Intense Round of Diplomatic Efforts to Prevent Escalation in the War Between Iran and the US
Senior officials from regional countries and the Iranian Foreign Minister are holding a series of urgent talks with American and international representatives in an attempt to reach a political settlement and a ceasefire.
Feverish Diplomatic Efforts to Stop the War in the Middle East
In the shadow of rising security tensions, an intense round of diplomatic talks has been held over the past 24 hours with the participation of regional and international countries. According to Iran International, which is affiliated with the Iranian opposition and is a sharp critic of the Tehran regime, the foreign ministers of Jordan and Egypt held separate talks with American officials to discuss ways to "de-escalate" in the Middle East.
Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdelatty, spoke with the US Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. According to reports from آخرین خبر (an Iranian state news agency) and خبرفورینیوز, the conversation focused on the "revised proposal" submitted by Tehran to the United States. Abdelatty reportedly emphasized the need to "reach a political solution far from the shadow of war" and to strengthen efforts to achieve a ceasefire.
Simultaneously, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi spoke by phone with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss the regional and international consequences of the crisis. At the same time, the foreign ministers of Pakistan and Kuwait held a conversation on the matter, with an emphasis on continued diplomatic coordination between the countries.
Meanwhile, خبرگزاری ایرنا and the channel affiliated with President Pezeshkian, حامیان پزشکیان, reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation with his Korean counterpart, Cho Tae-yul. The parties discussed "diplomatic initiatives aimed at ending the war forced upon Iran by the US and the Zionist regime." This is a use of Tehran's official rhetoric that presents the conflict as imposed upon it, in contrast to reports in the international media that focus on Iranian initiatives to curb the escalation.
