Egypt Working to Ease US-Iran Tensions, Political Science Professor Says

Egypt continues to play an influential role in efforts to reduce regional tensions and build trust between the United States and Iran, according to Dr. Hassan Salama, a professor of political science.

Salama said Egypt’s engagement is aimed at lowering escalation in the region. He highlighted efforts to build bridges of confidence between Washington and Tehran as part of that role.

His remarks framed de-escalation and trust-building as connected priorities for Egyptian diplomacy, with an emphasis on easing tensions between the two sides.

Salama did not outline specific diplomatic steps or report a breakthrough. His assessment focused on Egypt’s continuing efforts rather than any announced outcome.
