Iran’s FNA news agency reports that Tehran intends to renew ties with Arab countries that were cut off after they signed peace treaties with Israel, including Jordan and Egypt.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran seeks to enhance cooperation with Arab countries, including Jordan and Egypt," said Qazanfar Roknabadi, Head of the Foreign Ministry's Office for Middle-Eastern Affairs.
During a recent visit by Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani to Cairo, a meeting was held with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
"It is most important for Iran and Egypt to set aside their differences and to focus on bridging the gap between political factions in Palestine," said Larijani.
