Why it matters:
This is Araghchi's first visit to Cairo after a 12-day Israel-U.S.-imposed war on Iran. Visiting the IAEA General Director to discuss a new form of cooperation is the most important part of this visit.
The big picture:
After the Israeli attack on Iran in June 2025, Iran has reviewed its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and Iran's Parliament has also ratified a new law indicating that the new chapter of cooperation between Tehran and IAEA must be based on that.
During the trip to Cairo, a meeting will be held with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency to finalize negotiations on the new framework for Iran-IAEA cooperation.
What he's saying:
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei wrote on X that Iran's Foreign Minister will also meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
