CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak warned against any military strike on Iran in an interview published on Saturday.

The United Nations Security Council has demanded Iran suspend uranium enrichment by the end of the month after Tehran failed to persuade the international community its atomic scientists were working on power stations, not bombs.

Washington has declined to rule out military strikes as a solution to the nuclear dispute.

"The conflict between the United States and Iran must be resolved through diplomatic channels and direct dialogue, because any strike on Iran means the end of stability in the region and the world," Mubarak said in an interview published on Saturday in Egypt's Akhbar al-Youm newspaper.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak warned against any military strike on Iran in an interview published on Saturday.

Having seen Israel (and the West) "waffle" on resolve...., he is "going where the wind blows"... Is anyone shocked???

[Babsig]

So Mubarak, all the terror threats and attacks on the US and Europe are ok, just so we don't defend ourselves because it could ruin ME stability? BWHWHAHAHAHA!
Hey Mubarak, go tell UN Coffee Anus, maybe he cares.

"The conflict between the United States and Iran must be resolved through diplomatic channels and direct dialogue, because any strike on Iran means the end of stability in the region and the world," Mubarak said in an interview published on Saturday in Egypt's Akhbar al-Youm newspaper.

Seems Egypt is afraid of Iran

[thoughtomator]

Either that, or they're working together with them.

[Mo1]

or they know what Iran has and are afraid of nuke fallen material ... because it will hit them before it hits us

[Westlander]

'Washington has declined to rule out military strikes'

But Washington does not posess the gumption to drop a few kilotons.

[Thombo2]

"The conflict between the USA and Iran must be resolved through diplomatic means..."Well for what it's worth,diplomacy isn't going to accomplish squat.It'll simply buy Iran more time to develop nukes.

[RobbyS]

The END of stability? In what world has he been living? Any hope for stability died the day that Sadat was killed or the day that the American hostages were taken. That was about 1979, nich wahr.

[oceanview]

the stability that allows us to pull a few million barrels of oil out of there every day - that stability.

The saying used to be, "it's not the heat, it's the humidity"

Change it to say, "it's not the heat, it's the stupidity" and you have just described the middle east.

In the Muslim world "stability" means the dictators are getting their way by directing the discontent of their subjects at the US and Israel.
