Tehran/Cairo: In a significant diplomatic development, Iran and Egypt have agreed to fully restore their bilateral relations and reopen their respective embassies in Tehran and Cairo, signaling a major thaw after decades of estrangement.
The two countries had severed diplomatic ties in 1980 following the Islamic Revolution in Iran and Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel, which Tehran strongly opposed. The break marked one of the longest-running diplomatic rifts in the Middle East.
The agreement to normalize relations is being viewed as a landmark shift in regional geopolitics, coming amid a broader wave of diplomatic reconciliations across the Middle East. Analysts say the move could open new avenues for cooperation between the two influential Muslim-majority nations and contribute to greater stability in the region.
Further details regarding the timeline for embassy reopening and the exchange of ambassadors are expected to be announced in the coming days.
