Iran, Egypt agree to renew diplomatic ties after 25 years

Arabic television Al Jazeera said on Tuesday that Iran and Egypt have agreed to resume full diplomatic ties which were broken 25 years ago. Within minutes, Iran's Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi confirmed the report.

"The two countries have decided to restore ties. It's a definite move and right now they are making the preparations," Abtahi said.

The television, quoting its correspondent, in Tehran said both countries will make an official announcement within the next two days. They will soon open embassies in Cairo and Tehran.

And all Iran had to do was rename a street! Wow. Diplomacy sure is easy. How come * can't get stuff like this together?
