Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi on Wednesday dismissed US President George W. Bush's accusations that Tehran pursued weapons of mass destruction as "baseless, superficial and wrong."
"America continues its wrong approach towards Iran," the Iranian minister was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency. Bush said in Tuesday's State of the Union address, "In Iran, we continue to see a government that represses its people, pursues weapons of mass destruction, and supports terror."
Kharazi lashed out at the United State, accusing it of aiming to expand its hegemony over the world and launching a propaganda campaign against its perceived adversaries.
"America, by manipulating security (issues) inside the United States and outside, especially in the Middle East, seeks to expand its domination at the international relations level," he said.
Kharazi also reiterated Iran's opposition to "any unilateral action against Iraq." (Albawaba.com)
