Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Saturday that he is “deeply concerned” that any new escalation in the war between the United States and Iran could lead to further destruction and have serious repercussions.
He made these remarks during his speech at the Security Dialogue Summit organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Manama, Bahrain.
“The next round will be more dangerous and more destructive, and will not yield any results. We must draw lessons from the past,” he said.
A temporary agreement reached in June failed to achieve a permanent ceasefire in the conflict with Iran or restore normal shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Since then, Iran has proposed that Washington lift its blockade on Iranian ports in exchange for Tehran reopening the disrupted waterway within seven days.
Qatari mediators returned to Tehran on Friday in a renewed effort to reach an agreement, but the two sides remain divided over whether nuclear negotiations should come first or whether the blockade and oil sanctions should be eased.
