Egypt is working closely with Pakistan on a framework aimed at securing a lasting peace between the US and Iran, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Saturday.
He said Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were coordinating a broader regional effort focused on preventing renewed escalation and laying the groundwork for a post-war security arrangement, stressing the importance of protecting Gulf states and stabilising energy markets, supply chains and food security.
Meanwhile, fresh diplomatic efforts are underway to end the US-Iran conflict, with a new round of talks expected in Islamabad. At the same time, shipping has resumed in the Strait of Hormuz, offering relief to global markets amid ongoing tensions.

Trump warns ceasefire may not be extended
Trump has issued a strong warning, saying he may not extend the current ceasefire if a deal is not reached by Wednesday.
“If there is no agreement, unfortunately we will have to start bombing again,” he said, raising fears of renewed military action. He also warned that the US would secure Iran’s nuclear material “in a much more unfriendly form” if diplomacy fails.
