The call to reimplement the accord between the United States and Iran was discussed during a phone conversation Sunday between the foreign ministers of Egypt and Pakistan. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Pakistani Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar called for a return to the Islamabad Accord, signed on June 18, 2026.
Egypt's Foreign Ministry said the ministers assessed regional developments and discussed efforts to contain tensions and restore calm.
Call for an agreement to ensure regional stability
Abdelatty and Dar stressed the importance of resuming implementation of the accord between the United States and Iran. The two ministers said a comprehensive and sustainable agreement that would strengthen regional security and stability should be reached.
The ministers also said it was necessary to prevent the conflict from spreading across the region and to support joint security efforts.
Four countries to maintain coordination
Egypt and Pakistan agreed to maintain close coordination in the coming period, both through bilateral consultations and within a four-party mechanism involving Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.
The four-party mechanism aims to support joint initiatives to strengthen security and stability in the region.
Attacks in Gulf countries and Jordan
In recent days, several Gulf countries and Jordan have been targeted in attacks carried out by Iran. Tehran said the attacks were conducted in response to US attacks on Iran. The targeted countries condemned the attacks.
Egypt welcomed the signing of the accord between the United States and Iran on June 18 and said the agreement should ease tensions and prevent a new escalation in the region.
Implementation of the accord disrupted
Disputes over the conditions for implementing the accord and maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz 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 accord.
On the same day, US Central Command announced that it had carried out new attacks on military targets it identified as belonging to Iran. According to the command's statement, the attacks targeted air defense elements, radars, naval assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications facilities.
