Cairo Hosts High-Stakes Talks on Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation Amid Iran-IAEA Tensions
Ahmed Emam Egypt hosted a series of high-level diplomatic meetings on Monday aimed at easing rising tensions between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), with a strong emphasis on the importance of peaceful nuclear cooperation. The day's engagements began with bilateral talks between Egypt's Foreign Minister and his Iranian counterpart, followed by a separate meeting between the Egyptian minister and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. The discussions culminated in a rare trilateral session involving all three parties — a concerted effort to defuse the standoff and revive constructive dialogue. The diplomatic flurry follows the release of a recent IAEA report containing sensitive information about Iran's nuclear program, which triggered a sharp backlash from Tehran. In response, Egypt stepped in to mediate, leveraging its longstanding role as a regional interlocutor to bridge divides and advocate for diplomacy over escalation. 'Egypt reaffirmed its commitment to dialogue and peaceful resolution of disputes,' an official source said following the meetings, highlighting Cairo's push to contain tensions and encourage mutual trust between Iran and the international nuclear watchdog. In a parallel diplomatic track, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi held separate meetings with both the Iranian Foreign Minister and the IAEA chief. During his talks with the Iranian official, President El-Sisi expressed Egypt's support for mediation efforts led by Oman to help stabilize U.S.-Iran relations. The two also discussed key regional issues, notably the Palestinian cause, with El-Sisi reiterating Egypt's unwavering commitment to regional peace and security. The IAEA Director General lauded Egypt's close cooperation with the agency, particularly in the field of peaceful nuclear energy. He cited the El-Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant as a flagship project, describing it as a model for responsible, civilian use of nuclear technology in the region. The facility, currently under development on Egypt's northwestern coast, is expected to significantly contribute to the country's energy self-sufficiency. Monday's meetings underscore Egypt's growing diplomatic role in addressing complex regional challenges and promoting dialogue on nuclear non-proliferation — a timely intervention at a moment of heightened international concern. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier

The talks brought together Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi. On X, Grossi praised Egypt's role in promoting peaceful, diplomatic solutions to regional challenges, as well as its support for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation efforts. Timely meeting in Cairo with Egypt's @MfaEgypt Badr Abdelatty and Iran's Foreign Minister @ for Egypt's constructive role in supporting peaceful, diplomatic solutions to regional challenges. — Rafael Mariano Grossi (@rafaelmgrossi) June 2, 2025 The meeting came against the backdrop of a series of high-level discussions between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Araghchi earlier in the day. El-Sisi underscored Egypt's unwavering commitment to dialogue and conflict de-escalation in the Middle East, particularly emphasizing the urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza and secure maritime navigation in the Red Sea. El-Sisi also welcomed Araghchi's updates on the ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations, voicing hope for a peaceful settlement to safeguard regional stability. For his part, Araghchi conveyed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's greetings to El-Sisi and lauded Egypt's pivotal efforts in fostering calm across the region. In a joint press conference with Abdelatty, Araghchi affirmed Tehran's readiness to strengthen bilateral ties, expand trade and tourism, and boost political consultations in the coming period. He also reiterated that Iran's nuclear program remains strictly peaceful and transparent, dismissing any allegations to the contrary as politically motivated. The Cairo summit unfolded just days after the IAEA released a confidential report expressing deep concern over Iran's growing stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, a technical step away from weapons-grade material. Grossi told reporters in Cairo that the agency aims to 'incentivize a diplomatic solution' while acknowledging that Iran's uranium enrichment raises significant alarm for the IAEA's board of governors. Araghchi countered these claims, stressing Iran's 'continuous cooperation' with the agency.
