US President George W Bush warned today that letting Iran acquire
atomic weapons risked putting the Middle East 'under the shadow
of a nuclear holocaust.'
'Iran's active pursuit of technology that could lead to nuclear
weapons threatens to put a region already known for instability
and violence under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust,' he told
a veterans group here.
Bush's speech to the American Legion aimed to convince a war-weary
US public that the war in Iraq was the central front in the fight
against what he described as the Sunni Muslim extremism of the
Al-Qaeda terrorist network and the Shiite extremism fuelled by
Iran.

'Iran's actions threaten the security of nations everywhere,
and the United States is rallying friends and allies to isolate
Iran's regime to impose economic sanctions. We will confront this
danger before it is too late,' he said.
Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons and says that its atomic
programme means to provide civilian power.
