#1 Prob for Morsi/Mursi is that FARS NEWS AGENCY = FNA is usually a reliable source.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN'S ARMED FORCES URGE EGYPT'S ARMY TO ACCEPT RESULTS OF ELECTION.

* WAFF > IRAN [again] THREATENS TO CLOSE STRAITS OF HORMUZ IFF SANCTIONS BEGIN.

ARTIC = No US-Iran War likely this year due to ...
> US, Israel deemed to be too weak to wage war due to steadily deteriorating econ conditions in Europe + USA.
> POTUS Obama in re-election campaign mode - last thing he wants is a major war after bringing US Troops home from AFPAK.

#2 Morsi has also given interviews with Gulf arab media which tend to be anti-Iran. If the Muslim brotherhood wants to keep the funding line from the Gulf, particularly the Soddies, Morsi will stay with the anti-Iran line.

#3 Common support for anti-Monarchy, Establishment
"Arab/ Muslim Springs" aside, + wid the new US mil presence in Kuwait + espec its buildup of the USN's Bahrain base [USN Fifth Fleet HQ], besides LRBMS Iran could use Egypt + Sinai Hard/Bad Boyz to help offset the US Regional counter-strategy, espec as per Bahrain.

Iran must know the US will run up agz both Russia + China iff post-Salala,Gilani Pakistan becomes destabilized + is taken over by the MilTerrs - the US would be very lucky iff a desperate Secular or MilTerr-led Pakistan chose to start a major war agz India which would bring in China + likely Pakistan's-Enemies-are-our-Enemies Pak Best Frenemy Forever Iran [which means Russia].
