Egypt has agreed with Iran, the United States, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to maintain ongoing consultations aimed at finding a breakthrough in the Iranian nuclear file, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry announced on Saturday.
Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held separate phone calls with Iran’s Abbas Araghchi, US Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff, and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to discuss possible solutions. The ministry said the talks focused on regional security, stability, and confidence-building, following the Cairo Agreement signed on 9 September 2025 that restored cooperation between Tehran and the IAEA after a pause.
The discussions highlighted the need to revive negotiations between Iran and the U.S. to reach a comprehensive deal addressing all parties’ interests and contributing to regional stability. The parties agreed to continue following up on efforts and study proposed ideas to achieve a breakthrough.
The consultations came shortly after Iran declared it is no longer bound by UN restrictions on its nuclear programme, as the term of UN Security Council Resolution 2231—endorsing the 2015 nuclear deal—expired on 18 October 2025.
