A senior lawmaker in Tehran has revealed that talks are underway in Iraq

Iran and Egypt are on track to restore diplomatic relations and reopen their respective embassies, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has said.

MP Fada-Hossein Maleki added that President Ebrahim Raisi and his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, will meet in person in the near future.

Speaking to Iran’s Tasnim news agency on Sunday, Maleki said that talks between Tehran and Cairo are currently being held in Iraq. The lawmaker described the atmosphere during the negotiations as positive.

In January, the Iranian Foreign Ministry revealed that its head, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, sat down with the Egyptian head of state in late 2022. The ministry spokesperson said at the time that the two countries “have basically no problem for dialogue, meetings, and exchange of views.”

Relations between Cairo and Tehran were severed in 1980 following the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

Meanwhile, in mid-March, longstanding rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia announced they were planning to restore diplomatic relations, which they broke off in 2016. .......More Below
