Iran on Tuesday brushed aside US President George W. Bush's
warning over "threats to US troops" in his State of
the Union speech, the official IRNA news agency reported.
"Unfortunately we have been hearing Bush's baseless and
unimportant accusations about Iran for the past seven years,"
foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quoted as
saying.
"We advise the US president for the remaining time (of his
tenure)... to deal with the real worries of his people harmed
by the US economic stagnation... and the severe nervous breakdown
the (US) military men dispirited in the occupation of Iraq."

In his speech Monday, Bush warned that Washington will "confront
those who threaten our troops, we will stand by our allies, and
we will defend our vital interests in the Persian Gulf."
His message echoed US warnings over an early January face-off
between US and Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and came
as Washington pushed for new UN sanctions against Tehran over
its disputed nuclear programme.
