Egypt’s Foreign Ministry on Friday said it was following developments in Iraq with great concern and appealed against any further escalation.
The statement came after a U.S. air strike that killed the commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani.
“The Foreign Ministry is following with great concern accelerating developments in Iraq, which augur an escalation it is important to avoid,” the statement said.

Following Qassem’s killing, Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei announced three days of national mourning in his honour.
Soleimani was widely believed to be the second-most powerful figure in Iran.
However, Iran has promised “harsh revenge.”
Iran’s National Security Council convened an emergency meeting on Friday to decide the country’s reaction to the U.S. strike. Reports indicate Khamenei participated in the meeting for the first time ever.
Other officials say Qassem’s killing will only strengthen Iran’s resolve.
“The pure blood of Qassem Soleimani will surely strengthen the tree of resistance, unite the Iranian people, and make U.S. policies in the region less effective by the day,” said Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
