Reid says U.S. strike on Iran would be destabilizing

Mon Jun 11, 2007 6:44PM EDT

 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected Sen. Lieberman's call for a military strike against Iran, saying a U.S. attack would destabilize the Middle East.  Reid said on Monday after speaking at a forum hosted by the Center for American Progress think tank.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said the United States should be prepared to use military force to stop Iran from training and equipping Iraqi militants.

Iran has denied supplying Iraqis with armor-piercing munitions and U.S. officials say they cannot prove it.

But Lieberman,  said the United States had "good evidence" that Iraqis were being trained to use the weapons at a camp inside Iran. He advocated a military strike in retaliation.

Reid's comments appeared on thinkprogress.org, a Center for American Progress blog, and were confirmed by his Senate staff.
