The US State Department waives human-rights conditions attached to more than $300 million of military aid to Egypt, citing Cairo’s “helpful role” since the start of the US war with Iran. The decision is described in a letter to US lawmakers and is announced by the State Department.

The reports say the waiver covers a substantial portion of US assistance provided to Egypt, which has been a major recipient of US military support for decades. Egypt receives about $1.3 billion annually in US military aid, following its 1979 peace treaty with Israel.

While all sources align on the central facts—the waiver, the amount, the rationale referencing Iran, and the existence of a letter—the framing differs slightly. One outlet emphasizes the “rights condition” being waived due to the Iran-related context, while another highlights the letter’s details and specifies the assistance as just over $300 million and up to $320 million, reflecting differences in how the figures are presented.
