Egypt voiced deep concern Sunday over the rapid escalation in Iran, warning it threatens regional and global peace.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry condemned violations of the United Nations Charter and international law, urging respect for state sovereignty.
Cautioning against slipping into further chaos, Egypt stressed the urgent need to halt tensions and prioritise dialogue.
The ministry called for restraint to protect civilian lives and maintain stability across the fragile region.
US President Donald Trump announced early Sunday that American forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
These attacks marked a significant escalation in the US-backed Israeli military campaign against Iran, ongoing since mid-June.
In retaliation, Tehran launched missile strikes targeting Israeli cities, intensifying the cycle of violence.
Israeli officials reported at least 25 deaths and hundreds wounded from Iranian missile attacks since the escalation began.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Health Ministry confirmed over 430 deaths and more than 3,500 injuries due to Israeli air assaults.
The region stands on a knife’s edge as fears grow over widening conflict and its devastating human toll.
Calls for urgent diplomacy clash with mounting violence, leaving civilian lives perilously caught in the crossfire.
