Iranian attack- Cairo: This was to be expected with Israel’s provocative policy!

In a statement released Saturday evening by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo voiced its profound concern over the announced launch of Iranian offensive drones against Israel and the indicators of a dangerous escalation between the two nations in the recent period, calling for the greatest restraint to be exerted to spare the region and its peoples from new sources of unrest and tension.

Egypt considers that the dangerous escalation currently confronting the Iranian-Israeli scene is nothing other than a direct consequence of what Cairo has repeatedly warned against, the dangers of an expansion of the altercation in the region following the Israeli war against the Gaza Strip, and the provocative military actions practiced in the area.

He underlined that he was in constant contact with all parties involved to try to contain the situation, stop the escalation and spare the region from the risk of falling into a dangerous turn of instability and threatening the interests of its population.
