NEW YORK — George Bush yesterday ramped up the war of words
between the U.S. and Iran, accusing Tehran of threatening to
place the Middle East under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust
and revealing that he had authorized US military commanders in
Iraq to "confront Tehran's murderous activities".

In a speech designed to shore up U.S. public opinion behind his
unpopular strategy in Iraq, the president reserved his strongest
words for the regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which he accused
of openly supporting violent forces within Iraq. Iran, he said, was
responsible for training extremist Shia factions in Iraq, supplying
them with weapons, including sophisticated roadside bombs.
Iran has denied all these accusations.
