Lebanese Daily: Mubarak Conveyed Message From Iran To Gulf Countries

The Lebanese daily Al-Nahar reports that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has conveyed a message to the Gulf countries, where he visited last week, a "reassuring message" from Iranian Majlis speaker Ali Larijani, that Iran would respond to an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities by striking only at targets inside Israel.

The message added that if Iran were to be attacked from U.S. bases in the Gulf countries, it would attack the bases, and therefore the Gulf countries must prevent an attack on Iran from their territory.
