As Egypt prepares to host an international summit on Monday with several world leaders to finalize a peace plan for Gaza, Iran Nuances understands that Iran, despite being invited, is not expected to participate in the conference.
Multiple factors are said to have influenced this decision. The current tense state of relations with the United States, ambiguity surrounding the details of the proposed peace plan, and Israel’s long track record of failing to honor similar agreements could be among primary reasons for Tehran’s expected absence.
Furthermore, analysts believe that Iran’s participation in the summit, particularly with Donald Trump chairing it, would serve as a de facto endorsement of his policies regarding the Palestinian issue. These policies have included support for Israel’s war crimes and the killing of Gazans, actions that Tehran has consistently and strongly condemned.
Another significant consideration is the symbolic dimension of attending. For Iran to participate in a summit chaired by Trump just months after the recent military attack on its territory, including its nuclear facilities, would carry profound implications. Such a move could negatively impact Iran’s national security, as well as its regional and international standing.
