BUSH DENIED US GOING TO STRIKE IRAQ
US President George W. Bush has denied information that the US is going to strike Iran. "I often hear information on striking Iran, but it is not true, as we want diplomacy to work," he said. "I believe that diplomacy can work, if Iran does not divide the US and Europe," Bush said. In his words, the US Administration holds close consultations with European countries over the issue of prevention of appearance of nuclear weapons in Iran. "We keep working with our friends and allies to give Iran understand it," Bush added.
