Egypt urges resumption of Iran-IAEA cooperation for regional stability
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty called for the resumption of cooperation between Iran and the UN atomic agency aimed at securing stability in the West Asia region.
The Egyptian foreign minister made the remarks in separate phone calls with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi and chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi.
On June 25, Iran’s Parliament approved a bill to suspend Tehran’s cooperation with the IAEA following air strikes by Israel and the United States on key Iranian nuclear facilities during two weeks of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
The IAEA Board of Governors used his report in its latest session to pass an anti-Iran resolution, which became an excuse for the Israeli regime to launch its aggression against Iran.
According to Egypt’s Foreign Ministry, Abdelatty stressed the importance of adhering to diplomacy and paving the way for the resumption of cooperation between Tehran and the IAEA, in a manner that contributes to restoring trust and creating an environment conducive to achieving security and stability in the region.
