For those of you following all this, President Bush in his "Axis of Evil" speech listed 3 countries the U.S. must confront. 1. Iraq, 2. Iran, 3. North Korea.
Number 2 on the list, Iran has now warned President Bush that he would be making a mistake to use force against the Islamic republic over its nuclear program.
"Bush should know that our capabilities are much greater than those of the United States," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters. "We don't think that the United States will make such a mistake."
On Friday, Bush refused to rule out the use of force against Iran over its resumption of nuclear activities, saying "all options are on the table."
The warning from Iran's foreign ministry came as ultra-conservative President Mahmood Ahmadinejad unveiled his new cabinet, most of whom are members or former members of the secret police or Revolutionary Guard.
The new minister of defense of Iran has direct ties to the suicide bombing in Beirut that killed 241 Marines in 1983. Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar, a veteran commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was named today to the top military post by the new government.
Eighteen of the 21 new members of the new Iranian cabinet have backgrounds in the Revolutionary Guards or secret police.
