The Iranian foreign minister met his Jordanian counterpart Ayman al-Safdiin Amman to discuss regional stability “in light of Israeli regime’s continuing atrocity and aggression in Gaza and against Lebanon,” the Iranian foreign ministry’s spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei posted on X.

Tensions are high in anticipation of the nature of an expected Israeli attack on Iran in retaliation for Iran's missile attack on Oct. 1. That followed a rapidly spiralling conflict between Israel and Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Thursday, Egypt's presidency said in a statement. The meeting focused on regional developments, with al-Sisi reiterating Egypt's call to avoid the expansion of conflict and the need to halt escalation to prevent a full-scale regional war.
