Some observers expected that the Iranian nuclear deal in 2015 would enhance rapprochement between Cairo and Tehran, but so far, no changes have been made, nor do signs indicate a normalization of relations between the two countries.(1) Journal for Iranian Studies 41 Diplomatic ties between Egypt and Iran have been severed since the Iranian revolution in 1979, the Camp David Accords, and process of establishing peace between Egypt and Israel. These relations deteriorated primarily due to Egypt’s hosting of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi– Iran’s former monarch – despite the new Iranian leaders’ demands that Egypt hands him over for trial. In addition, the Iranian leadership adopted a hard line against Cairo by naming one of Tehran’s main streets after Khalid Islambouli, who assassinated President Sadat in 1981 – and hosting a number of Egyptian Islamic groups that escaped trial in Egypt and took refuge in Iran.(2) Iran’s practices also included inciting the Egyptian people against their regime and even hosting terrorist groups that, until recently, the Iranian media called Muslim Rebels.(3) Egypt and Iran are two key powers in the region.

Article 287 instructs each ratifying nation to pick from among four possible means of settling disputes over the interpretation of the Convention: the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) (a 21-judge court located in Hamburg, Gennany, established according to Annex VI), the International Court of Justice (in The Hague, Netherlands), an arbitral tribunal established pursuant to Annex VII, or a special arbitral tribunal established pursuant to Annex VIII to deal with specialized scientific issues. If the disputing countries have picked different procedures and cannot agree on a procedure, their dispute will be resolved through an Annex VII arbitration. According to Article 297, controversies subject to mandatory dispute-resolution procedures include those involving coastal state environmental regulations that limit navigation (Article 297 (1) (a) & (b», allegations that a coastal state is violating internationally-established environmental regulations (Article 297 (1) (c), and allegations that a coastal state has improperly seized a vessel flying the flag of another country (Article 292).
