The calls tackled the latest developments in the region and the trajectory of talks between Washington and Tehran, according to a foreign ministry statement.
During both conversations, Abdelatty urged all parties to remain committed to the negotiating track, calling for stepped-up consultations to sustain the existing ceasefire agreement, consolidate the truce, and end the war.
The top Egyptian diplomat also warned that dialogue remains the basic guarantee against the spread of conflict across the region, the statement added.
The Egyptian minister also laid out Cairo's broader vision for regional security, stressing that any lasting stability must be built on respect for national sovereignty, acknowledgement of the security concerns of Gulf states, and the protection of freedom of navigation in international waters.
Minister Abdelatty called for continued coordination among regional players as the only viable path forward to preserving both security and the long-term interests of countries across the Middle East.
Prospects for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between Washington and Tehran remain unclear after US President Donald Trump on Saturday abruptly cancelled a planned high-level mission to Islamabad for direct negotiations with Iranian officials.
The cancellation was made public roughly an hour after Araghchi departed the Pakistani capital without meeting US officials.
President Trump later told reporters he scrapped the mission because he was dissatisfied with Tehran’s initial proposal.
“They gave us a paper that should have been better,” Trump said, without elaborating on the specific terms. “And, interestingly, immediately, when I cancelled it, within 10 minutes, we got a new paper that was much better.”
Despite the discord, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported that Araghchi is expected to return to Pakistan on Sunday, though it provided no further details on the status of the ceasefire talks.
This latest impasse follows a landmark round of face-to-face negotiations earlier this month between U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian representatives. That meeting, the first of its kind since the outbreak of war on 28 February, aimed to solidify a fragile, Pakistan-brokered truce that took hold on 8 April. However, those talks ended without a breakthrough, and the ceasefire remains under immense strain.
Supported by Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, the truce has paused most fighting; yet frequent violations by both sides persist. However, the economic toll continues to climb; global energy markets remain in turmoil as the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz effectively chokes off primary shipping routes.
