Egypt and Pakistan call for the US-Iran agreement to be reinstated
The foreign ministers of Egypt and Pakistan called for the implementation of the agreement signed by the United States and Iran on June 18, 2026, to resume. The two countries agreed to continue coordination through a four-party mechanism to promote regional security and stability.
The call to reinstate the Islamabad Agreement between the United States and Iran was raised during a phone call on Sunday between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Pakistani Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar.
Egypt's Foreign Ministry said the two ministers assessed regional developments and discussed efforts to contain tensions and restore calm.
Call to reinstate the agreement
Abdelatty and Dar called for the implementation of the agreement signed by the United States and Iran on June 18, 2026, to resume. The ministers stressed the importance of reaching a comprehensive and sustainable agreement that would strengthen regional security and stability.
They also said during the call that the conflict must be prevented from spreading across the region and that joint security efforts should be supported.
Four-party coordination to continue
Egypt and Pakistan agreed to continue coordination through the four-party mechanism comprising Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye, in addition to bilateral consultations.
The mechanism aims to support joint initiatives to strengthen security and stability in the region.
Gulf countries and Jordan targeted
In recent days, several Gulf countries and Jordan have been subjected to attacks by Iran. Tehran has said the attacks were in response to US attacks on Iran. The targeted countries condemned the attacks.
Egypt had welcomed the signing of the agreement between the United States and Iran on June 18. Cairo said the agreement should ease tensions and prevent a new escalation in the region.
Disputes over implementation terms and the Strait of Hormuz
Disagreements over the terms for implementing the agreement and maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz later disrupted its implementation. Fighting resumed in July.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on September 1 that Iran would immediately take reciprocal steps if the US administration fulfilled its obligations under the agreement.
US Central Command also announced on the same day that it had carried out new attacks on military targets it identified as belonging to Iran. The statement said the attacks targeted air-defense systems, radars, naval assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications facilities.
