As CNN notes, if confirmed as a deliberate strike, it would be the first instance of Egypt being directly drawn into the regional conflict that is expanding amid the confrontation between the US and Iran.
In a post on social media platform X, Araghchi called Egypt an "important friend and partner" of Iran and emphasized that its security is of "paramount importance" to the country. Without directly mentioning the port attack, he also called for vigilance regarding possible "false flag operations," which, he said, could be aimed at undermining regional peace.
