Egypt’s Mubarak warns Iran

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has delivered a stern warning to Tehran to stay out of Iraq, in an interview.

“Iran is trying to gain support in Iraq and in the region and I say to all: Don’t touch Iraq,” said Mubarak in remarks carried by the Egyptian weekly al-Osboa.

“Iraq is capable of maintaining its unity if the regional and international forces stop interfering in its affairs. But if the current situation continues, the fear is that Iraq will be transformed into warring states.”
