King Abdullah of Jordan has warned US Vice-President Dick Cheney that a US attack on Iraq could seriously destabilise the region.
In a statement released by the royal palace following a meeting with Mr Cheney in the Jordanian capital Amman, King Abdullah said that he hoped instead for "a solution to all outstanding problems with Iraq through dialogue and peaceful means", the Associated Press reported.
The announcement will be a blow for American efforts to shore up support for an attack on Iraq, one of the key reasons for Mr Cheney's current ten day tour of the region.
The pair also discussed a proposal for defusing the violence in the Middle East by getting Palestinians and Israelis to agree to talks.
