US waives human rights conditions on $320M military aid to Egypt, citing Iran war role

The US State Department has waived human rights conditions attached to over $300 million in military aid to Egypt, citing Cairo's 'helpful role' since the US war with Iran began. This marks a deviation from standard congressional oversight conditions, prioritizing strategic alignment over human rights concerns. The move signals deepening US-Egyptian cooperation amid the Iran conflict, potentially affecting regional alliances and aid policy.
