El-Sisi made his remarks during a phone call with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, during which he reviewed Egypt’s efforts to end the war.
The five-week-old conflict, during which the US and Israel have struck Iranian infrastructure, including civilian sites, while Tehran has launched retaliatory strikes on US assets and energy installations across the Gulf, has unleashed major economic turmoil throughout the Middle East and beyond.
Global energy markets have seen dramatic swings, with oil and gas prices surging repeatedly due to supply interruptions near the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passageway that handles nearly 20 percent of the world's oil.
Iran has kept the strait shut ever since the war began.
During the call, El-Sisi also reiterated Egypt's "unequivocal condemnation" of the Iranian attacks on Arab states, rejecting any violations of their sovereignty and reaffirming Cairo's support for its Arab neighbour, according to a presidential statement.
Sánchez, for his part, praised Egypt's de-escalation efforts and stressed Spain's opposition to the war, calling for peaceful resolutions to the conflict and to international disputes more broadly.
Both leaders agreed to coordinate efforts to end the current escalation and mitigate its negative repercussions, particularly the economic ones, the statement added.
The two leaders also touched on bilateral ties, with El-Sisi highlighting the growing momentum in Egypt-Spain relations since the two countries elevated their partnership to a strategic level in 2025.
They underscored the need to implement agreements reached during El-Sisi's visit to Spain in February 2025 and the Spanish King's reciprocal visit to Egypt in September of that year, with a focus on advancing cooperation in transportation, trade, and investment.
