Iran zegt de beschuldigingen „woorden van Bush zonder waarde“

TEHERAN (Reuters) - Iran dat op Maandag als „woorden zonder waarde“ President George W. aan de kaak wordt gesteld De opmerkingen van Bush dat de Islamitische staat veiligheid rond de wereld door militanten te steunen bedreigde.

Sprekend in Abu Dhabi op Zondag, zei Bush Iran de hoogste sponsor van de wereld van terrorisme was en het van het ondermijnen van vrede door de Hezbollah guerillagroep in Libanon, Palestijnse de militanten Hamas en Shi groep te steunen van Islamist' ite in Irak beschuldigde.

“Bush should understand that the hatred towards his policies exists … it has real and logical roots,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quoted as saying by state radio.

“Bush’s remarks display his desperation and disappointment because of his failures in the region … He is trying to divert attention from his failed policies,” he said, adding Bush’s comments were “repeated words without value”.

Iran blames sectarian violence in Iraq on the U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein in 2003 and has repeatedly called on the United States to withdraw its forces.

Tehran and Washington are at odds over Iran’s nuclear work, which the West fears is a cover to build nuclear weapons, and Washington is pushing for a third set of sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt enrichment work, as demand by the United Nations.

Tehran says it wants nuclear technology for civilian purposes.
