According to a statement by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, the two officials reviewed the current trajectory of U.S.-Iran diplomatic efforts.<\/p>\n
Abdelatty underscored the need to intensify support for the negotiating process to reach a political settlement, and reaffirmed that a diplomatic approach is essential for securing a permanent ceasefire, ending ongoing conflicts, and easing regional tensions, according to the statement.<\/p>\n
For his part, Witkoff expressed Washington\u2019s intent to continue coordination and consultation with Cairo to enhance stability in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s official IRNA news agency reported that Tehran on Thursday night delivered a new proposal for peace talks with the United States to Pakistan, which is mediating the negotiations.<\/p>\n
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities, killing Iran\u2019s then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, senior commanders and civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
A ceasefire was reached between the warring sides on April 8, followed by peace talks in Islamabad on April 11 and 12, which ended without an agreement.<\/p>\n
