In what was reported by outlet news as the first official Iranian comment on the matter, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said at a weekly press conference on Monday 12 May that Iran’s relationship with Egypt is built on mutual respect, adding that any intervention harming the region’s security is unacceptable regardless of who is behind it. Baghaei argued that security based on the presence of foreign forces would only worsen insecurity in the region.
