And, in a speech of great depth, Mohamed Morsi, the first Egyptian president to visit Iran since the Islamic Republic’s birth in 1979, firmly rejected the Syrian regime, as he did in a subsequent appearance before the Arab League as well. Moreover, Morsi urged Iran to join Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia – all Sunni-majority countries – in pressing for political transition in Syria (a role that the Syrian opposition rejected before Iran could even say no).
此外，1979年伊朗伊斯兰共和国成立以来第一位到访的埃及总统穆尔西在其颇具深度的演讲中明确地否定了叙利亚政权，随后又在阿盟面前再次确认了这一点。穆尔西敦促伊朗加入到埃及、土耳其和沙特——均是逊尼派占多数的国家——的行列中，敦促叙利亚实现政治转型（对于这一角色，叙利亚反对派在伊朗说不之前便予以了否定）。
