TEHRAN, March 24 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty held a phone call on Tuesday to discuss the aftermath of recent United States (US) and Israeli attacks on Iran, reported Xinhua.
The two sides exchanged views on the regional and international consequences of the "unlawful" aggression by the US and Israel, emphasising Iran's right to legitimate self-defence, according to a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
Araghchi elaborated on Iran's positions regarding the attacks and described the Iranian armed forces' response as decisive and lawful.
Abdelatty briefed Iran on Egypt's consultations with regional and international players aimed at de-escalating tensions in West Asia.
The developments came amid heightened regional tensions following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran starting on Feb. 28, to which Iran and its regional allies responded with attacks on Israeli and US interests across West Asia.
