WORLD WAR III **NEWZ** 20/8/6...Egypt warns against any military strike on Iran |
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2006-08-19T103233Z_01_L19831568_RTRUKOC_0_US-EGYPT-IRAN.xml&archived=False
Egypt warns against any military strike on Iran
Sat Aug 19, 2006 6:32 AM ET
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.
Iran has set itself an August 22 deadline to respond to an offer of
economic incentives designed to persuade it to comply with the
suspension demand.
Egypt has not had full diplomatic relations with Tehran in more than 25
years and high-level contacts are rare, usually limited to
international meetings. But Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki
came to Egypt last week for talks with Mubarak on the conflict in
Lebanon and other regional issues.
In April, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit received a
telephone call from Mottaki on the nuclear issue, and the ministers
agreed to stay in touch.
"Iran is an important country in the region, and relations between
countries are governed by pacts and treaties and agreements that
prohibit interference in any internal matters of the countries,"
Mubarak said in the interview.
Egypt, one of 35 countries on the board of the International Atomic
Energy Agency, says it is against any nuclear weapons in the Middle
East, but wants the dispute resolved peacefully.
Relations between Egypt and Iran were severed when Cairo gave refuge to
the deposed Shah of Iran, who died in Egypt. Over the years, the
Egyptian government has repeatedly accused Iran of supporting
underground Islamist groups.
