The diplomatic institution noted that during a telephone conversation, Hussein and Araghchi reviewed bilateral relations and ways to expand cooperation.

The two diplomats also exchanged views on preparations for the upcoming meeting of foreign ministers from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states, scheduled for next week in Baghdad.

The conversation took place amid escalating regional tensions and diplomatic efforts to boost peaceful solutions to conflicts.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, in turn, urged an immediate halt to attacks on Saudi Arabia during a phone call with Araghchi.
