This happened after Egypt gave sanctuary to the former Shah of Iran who left the country amid the popular uprising led by the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini.
Then Egyptian president Anwar al-Sadat had good personal relations with the Shah and steadily criticized the new Iranian government.
The Islamic Republic has repeatedly announced its readiness to resume ties with Egypt.
