Abdelatty and Araghchi held a phone call late on Wednesday to discuss and exchange views on their bilateral relations, as well as significant regional and international developments.

The two sides also emphasized the continuation of consultations aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and coordination on regional and international issues, in line with sustaining diplomatic efforts and contributing to maintaining stability and security in the region.

Earlier in a post on his X account on January 19, 2026, Araghchi criticized the WEF over its move to revoke his invitation to the Davos meeting in Switzerland.

“There is one fundamental truth to the recent violence in Iran: We had to defend our people against armed terrorists and ISIS-style killings openly backed by Mossad,” he added.

“The sad irony: Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and mass slaughter of 11,000 innocent people have not compelled WEF to cancel any invitation extended to Israeli officials whatsoever. In fact, Herzog even did a victory lap in Davos as early as January 2024, even as he faced criminal charges in Switzerland for unfolding Genocide in Gaza,” he noted.

“WEF wants to feign a supposedly ‘moral’ stance, that is its prerogative, but it should at least be consistent about it. The current blatant double standard only conveys moral depravity and intellectual bankruptcy,” he stated.

“People have the right to know the truth and judge for themselves. Shame is solely reserved for those who think otherwise,” Araghchi said.
