Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Saturday condemned “hostile” Iranian attacks on Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states during talks in Jeddah with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The two leaders discussed regional military escalations and their impact on international security, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). During the meeting, both parties emphasised that repeated Iranian attacks on GCC states and the targeting of vital civilian infrastructure constitute a “dangerous escalation” that threatens regional stability. Sisi reaffirmed Egypt’s condemnation of these “repeated criminal attacks” and stressed Cairo’s full solidarity with the kingdom against any threats to its sovereignty or security, SPA reported. The visits to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are part of a wider regional tour by the Egyptian president that has included the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
