Tensions Arise Between Iran And Egypt During World Despair

Posted on Dec 16, 2008 6:58 PM

n Thursday, December 11, 2008, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stated during the Egyptian ruling party that Teheran, Iran has been plotting to devour Arabian states.

The recent strenuous relationship between Cairo and Teheran has been well documented up to this boiling remark by President Mubarak of Egypt. However, the timeline of events have not made the press to a large extent, as the affairs of the new Cold War between United States-Israeli-European allies and Russian-Iranian opposition has been the forefront of world despair during the global economic crisis.

Throw in the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai that may instigate a potential war between Pakistan and India. Should the war come to fruition, a calling for global attendance may be needed. Stories like these are exactly why the bantering between Egypt and Iran has been pushed below the radar.

Basically Egypt has been out of sight and out of mind, until now.

During several demonstrations in Iran that led up to President Mubarak's comments yesterday, the topical threat of hanging Egypt's leader was realized. Iranian demonstrators threaten death to President Mubarak because they believe that the Zionist regime's severe crimes in Gaza were part of Egypt's plan to exert pressure on the Palestinian people.

Also outside the Egyptian diplomatic missions in Teheran, a hoard of people were heard chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel," while burning an Israeli flag.

You can choose your side to this story, but as the timeline goes, Iran threw the first punch by accusing Egypt of faulty exertion over the Palestinian people. Furthermore, the death threats to President Mubarak are very undiplomatic but it's to be expected during this time of chaos erupting in these regions.

The Bush Administration has not reacted to any of this back and forth role-play, and it's likely that this issue will go unrecognized by President Bush for the remainder of his term in the White House.

President-elect Barack Obama will have to peddle towards a resolution once he is sworn in as President, should matters escalate further towards military action.

Meanwhile, President-elect Obama has his hands full with Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, Georgia, Israel, Poland, Germany, France, and Czech Republic among various different issues on both the allied front and the oppositional front.
