LONDON, March 2 (IranMania) - President Hosni Mubarak has urged US Vice President Dick Cheney to heed his advice "for once" and not to take military action against Iran, Egyptian newspapers reported Wednesday, AFP reported.
"I warned Cheney against a strike on Iran and told him: 'Listen to my advice for once,'" he was quoted as telling Cheney, who was a strong advocate of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 despite Arab opposition.
Cheney and Mubarak met on January 17 and discussed Iran's controversial nuclear programme during a visit by the vice president.
Last month, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said that Washington did not rule out using military force against Iran to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons.
