Manouchehr Mottaki
TEHRAN, Jan. 28--Iran is close to resuming full diplomatic relations with Egypt. In a press conference here on Monday, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said, “We are on the verge of resuming official political ties with Egypt.“ Iran broke ties with Egypt in 1979 after then Egyptian President Anwar Sadat gave refuge to the deposed shah of Iran. The two countries now have diplomatic representation through interest sections.
Commenting on the possibility of a new UN Security Council resolution over Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, Mottaki warned of “serious response“. He urged the Security Council to wait until Director General of International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei presents his report to the Board of Governors in March. “I recommend the UN Security Council show restraint until the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) report in March. If they don’t (wait), then Iran will respond in a serious and logical manner,“ he said.

This is important because if Iran and Egypt pull ties together they both can become stronger and help with nuclear rights.
