I've Been Thinking:

The foreign ministers of Iran and Egypt met yesterday to begin thawing out their frozen diplomatic relations.

For the past 30 years Egypt and Iran have had no diplomatic interaction. Relations broke off after Anwar Sadat was assassinated by a Muslim extremist.

Iran immediately named a public square after the assassin. At that point the Egyptians broke off all diplomatic relations. Iran continued to show their true colors by celebrating the death of the iconic Egyptian leader and lauding his assassin.

Now the new Egypt is reaching out to the Persians.

It does not appear that the thaw will be instantaneous. It will be a slow, gradual process. Iran and Egypt are not exchanging ambassadors quite yet, but that will happen with time.
