The Egyptian Foreign Minister also addressed the importance of peaceful solutions in Yemen and support for the rights of the Palestinian people, stating that Muscat will continue its efforts to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Araghchi also referred to the aggressions of the Zionist regime against Lebanon and Syria, stressing the necessity of strengthening coordination among regional countries, especially at the level of the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to counter security threats. He stated that Iran's enemies have not tried any path that has not failed, and the only existing solution is negotiation based on honor and justice.
The Iranian Foreign Minister emphasized that the Islamic Republic has always kept the path of diplomacy open and has not compromised its rights. He stated that this position is supported by many countries, and no one can accuse the Islamic Republic of not having tried the diplomatic path.
