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.

Yep, that will be placed in protective custody before anything happens vis-a-vis Iran.
iran is thinking exactly the same thing - they want to put it in their custody. and they have an advantage regarding proximity to the region. we don't have enough forces in the region, everyone thinks we have this "big force" in iraq, so we are OK. but we've moved alot of combat aircraft out of the regional bases.
What are we doing in dubai? There's also a deep water port in pakistan, I believe we have access to. Both right at the straits.
Excellent. You have my vote.
They're all in it together. They "smell blood in the water". The results of such action will not be to their liking.
I'm sure access to the Suez Canal has a little bit to do w/ it too.
I was just being a wise ass. Personally It wouldn't distress me much if they all somehow disappeared from the face of the earth.
Can anyone tell me the contributions to society made by Muslims in the past couple or 5 centuries?
LOL!
Ya BEAT ME!
that was EXACTLY my thoughts!
exactly...
Considering the fear most Arab nations have of Iran and their own populations- I think they know that any conflict with Iran would bring many "underground" terror cells all over the world to the surface. It would force ALL Muslims and Non-Muslims to once and for all- pick a side.
This would actually cause, I believe, a GLOBAL civil war. They know it. These dictators- living in their castles and enslaving the masses would have their posh little lives interrupted......their oil wealth jeopardized, etc....they would either have to side with Iran- and if Iran wins- then who will protect them from Iran? Or they would have to side with us and Israel- and then their own people would revolt against them....
nice little web their hate-filled propaganda has weaved for them.....
Looks almost like a copy of a Chieftain or a Crusader.
