Egypt silent on Iran

The Egyptian government’s rhetoric about Iran during the current war has been noticeably understated. Its first official statement condemned Iran’s efforts against peace in the region, but when President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi discussed Iran’s retaliatory attacks, in which it sent hundreds of drones and missiles into sovereign neighboring nations, he conspicuously declined to even mention Iran by name. Mustafa Bakry, a prominent Egyptian figure, called on the Arab world to put aside its differences and unite—not against Iran but against Israel and the United States. The Bible prophesies that Egypt will soon ally with Iran, a dramatic shift in Middle Eastern power and a precursor to a conflict far greater than any other in human history.
