The Iranian foreign minister met his Jordanian counterpart Ayman al-Safdiin Amman to discuss regional stability “in light of Israeli regime’s continuing atrocity and aggression in Gaza and against Lebanon,” the Iranian foreign ministry’s spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei posted on X. Araghchi’s visit comes two days after Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman met El-Sissi to discuss developments in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. A statement released by the Egyptian government said the Saudi and Egyptian leaders “called for steps towards de-escalation, including a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, as well as addressing the worsening humanitarian conditions, and halting policies that push the region to the brink of further conflict.” "They also reaffirmed the necessity of respecting Lebanon’s sovereignty, security, stability, and territorial integrity,” it said.
