🇪🇬 CAIRO — Egypt's foreign minister speaks up, days before the window opens. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Cairo rarely breaks cover this close to a US strike window — public distancing signals Egypt is pricing in aftermath, not prevention. Suez transit revenue and energy subsidies make Egypt acutely exposed to a Hormuz shock. The statement also hedges against domestic pressure if Egypt is seen enabling US basing or overflight. Washington will read it as a soft no.
