Newly elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi gave his first speech
since the announcement of his victory over Ahmed Shafik on Sunday
evening, making a reference to vowing to Egypt's peace treaty with
Israel. Morsi attempted to allay fears that he would immediately act
to Islamize Egypt, promising to be a president to all Egyptians.
However Egypt's president-elect said in an interview with Iran's Fars
news agency on Monday that he was looking to expand ties with Tehran
to create a strategic "balance" in the region. Fars quoted him as
saying he was interested in better relations with Tehran.
