Bush warns Iran of UN action Iran vows to 'resist' pressure Iran resumes nuclear work Iran: EU offer 'unacceptable' Iran pulls back on nuke plans

Theran - Iran warned US President George W Bush on Sunday that he would be making a mistake to use force against the Islamic republic over its nuclear programme.

"Bush should know that our capabilities are much greater than those of the United States," foreign ministry spokesperson Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.

"We don't think that the United States will make such a mistake."

The US president on Friday refused to rule out the use of force against Iran over its resumption of nuclear activities, saying "all options are on the table."

Bush told Israeli television: "The use of force is the last option for any president. You know we have used force in the recent past to secure our country," he said in a clear reference to Iraq, which the United States invaded in March 2003.

"I have been willing to do so as a last resort in order to secure the country and provide the opportunity for people to live in free societies," he added.
