TEHRAN — October 13, 2025: Iran has officially announced that it will not participate in the Gaza peace summit being held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, citing deep reservations over sharing the table with nations it accuses of threatening and sanctioning its people.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that while Tehran had received an invitation to attend, both the Iranian President and he personally declined the offer. “Iran cannot sit at the same table with countries that have attacked and threatened its people,” Araqchi said, emphasizing that meaningful dialogue is impossible under such circumstances.
