Sisi Joins Trump-Arab Leaders Multilateral Call Urging 'Diplomatic Window' to Secure Iran Nuclear Deal

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi participated in a multilateral phone call with US President Donald Trump, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, Turkish President Erdogan, Jordan's King Abdullah II, Bahrain's King Hamad, Qatar's Amir Tamim, and Pakistan's Army Chief. Sisi urged the group to capitalize on what he described as a 'diplomatic window' to achieve a comprehensive, binding agreement on Iran's nuclear program. Egypt proposed a potential US-Iran 'memorandum of understanding' framework as a potential structuring mechanism for any deal. The call represents the highest-level multilateral engagement on the Iran nuclear track since resumption of US-Iran talks, and marks Egypt's consolidation of a central regional diplomatic role — reflecting a significant evolution from Mubarak-era passivity toward active regional mediation under Sisi.
