I had a funny suspicion Iran’s president Ahmadinejad was pleased when the Egyptian people toppled Hosni Mubarak (Egypt’s previous prime minister) government in 2011 and democratically established Muslim Brotherhood’s party leader, Mohamed Morsi, as their new Islamist leader in 2012.

I say that because for more than three decades the Iranians and Egyptians have had a rocky relationship and today Ahmadinejad extended his hand in peace to Egyptian President Morsi hoping to form a strategic alliance between the two Islamist nations.
