Bush warns Iran on intervention in Iraq

In an interview with ABC on Friday, the US President George W. Bush from his Texas ranch in Crawford warned on Iran to stop arming and funding groups fighting US forces in Iraq.

French news agency (AFP) reported: he made clear in the interview that he would act to protect Americans or Iraqis from Iranian actions in neighboring Iraq.
“The message to the Iranians is: we will bring you to justice if you continue to try to infiltrate, send your agents or send surrogates to bring harm to our troops and/or the Iraqi citizens,” he said.
Asked to elaborate on this “justice,” Bush replied: “It means capture or kill, is what that means”.
The president accuses Iran of seeking nuclear weapons and arming and funding groups fighting US forces in Iraq.
He gave some advice to his successor on how to deal with the Islamic Republic, “I have always said all options need to be on the table, but my first effort is to solve this issue diplomatically,” he said.
Bush has said any talks must take place in a multilateral forum and on condition that Tehran suspends its sensitive nuclear activities.
“If you send the wrong signals as the president to the Iranians, they may pocket that signal, become even more difficult to deal with,” Bush said.
