....Egypt's security concerns remain the reason for not restoring ties, local media reports say.

You should talk to ordinary people and hear what they say about that and what their real concerns are.

..... Egyptian leaders fear that resuming ties with Tehran may give it a foothold in their country and increase its regional clout, analysts say.

You mean US-Israeli leaders. If this was a major concern for Egyptian leaders they would never, ever allow Iranina firms operate in Egypt during all these years of absent diplomatic ties between the two countries.
