This brief addresses the dynamics surrounding the Muslim Brothers' coming to power in Egypt. It argues that the path of the Ikhwan (Muslim Brothers) to dominating the populist riots in Tahrir Square, Cairo, started in June 2007. These long preparations, and their links to Iran, were paying huge dividends in the Egyptian turmoil of early 2011. By then, the supreme leadership of the Muslim Brothers was waiting patiently for the conducive conditions to emerge. This time, writes the author, the Ikhwan would not be cheated out of their hold onto power in Egypt.
