Bush throws tantrum after failing to hoodwink Arabs

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohamamd-Ali Hosseini said on Monday that U.S. President George W. Bush’s latest anti-Iran remarks were a result of his failure to convince Arab governments to support the Zionist regime.

Addressing the leaders of the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, Bush branded Iran as the “world’s leading state-sponsor of terror”. He said Tehran threatens nations everywhere and that the United States was “rallying friends around the world to confront this danger before it is too late.”

“Bush’s remarks show his frustration and failure in the last months of his presidency. Since he has failed to convince Arab and Muslim countries to support the Zionist regime, he is putting the blame on others,” Hosseini argued.

He added, “Bush should know that the world’s intense hatred of his policies has a real and logical root which is undeniable and should not spark annoyance and meaningless and repetitious verbal attacks.”

The U.S. president’s efforts to isolate Iran “show that he is unaware that relations between regional countries are indissoluble and that the greedy powers’ unilateralism is unable to influence their destiny.”

Hosseini asserted that Middle Eastern states are determined to expand their comprehensive relations.

He said the U.S. president is displeased about Iran’s success in addressing ambiguities over its nuclear activities and is seeking to undermine the growing cooperation between the Islamic Republic and the International Atomic Energy Agency through unfounded allegations. More
