Egypt: Mohamed Morsi's slap in the face brings Mahmoud Ahmedinejad back to square one

By: Peter Popham, The Independent, September 1, 2012 Tehran spared neither money nor effort to make the 16th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, which concluded yesterday, a smashing success. But it all went badly wrong. Mohamed Morsi angered Iran by identifying the civil war in Iran's close ally Syria as the latest in the line of just struggles that started in Tunis and went on to Cairo. It was a grave humiliation for Mr. Morsi's hosts, and provoked the Syrian delegation, led by the Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, to walk out.
