The foreign minister emphasized the Egyptian foreign policy totally rejects any military threats or the use of force.

Abdelatty made the statement in response to a question about the ongoing Israeli threats against Iran.

Egypt backs peaceful solutions to resolve regional crises, he made it clear, warning that any further escalation would lead to the region spiraling out of control and would create chaos and more suffering for all its peoples.

On his part, the Iranian foreign minister said Israel cannot make a mistake of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, as it will regret if it ever takes such an step.

Regarding the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Araghchi stated that adopting double standards weakens international law and is a grave mistake that must be corrected.

The top Iranian diplomat noted his country gives priority to fostering relations with regional countries, including Egypt and Gulf states.

Asked about the recent proposal for a nuclear deal between Tehran and Washington, Araghchi said this suggestion will be appropriately responded to in line with the principles, national interests and rights of the people of Iran, emphasizing that diplomatic solutions are the basis for defusing crises.
