Egypt Maintained Gulf Ties, Ex-Diplomat
Ambassador Ayman Zine El Din emphasized that Egypt has not betrayed the Gulf and that the security of our regional brothers is a fundamental pillar of its policy. He explained that Egypt's relationship with Iran is based on three main principles: its acknowledgment that it is an integral part of the region, the existence of differences in interests and visions between the two sides, and Egypt’s commitment to the strategic and economic interests of the Gulf. He also affirmed that maintaining a balance of power in the region is important for Egypt, and that severing relations with Iran was a mistake. He clarified that Egypt’s dealings with Iran should be without escalation, taking into account its alliances with regional forces such as Hezbollah and the Houthis. Furthermore, he stated that Gulf security does not rely solely on the American umbrella or defenses but requires more relaxed relations to achieve security and political stability.
