'Our capabilities are much greater than those of U.S.'
Iran has warned President Bush that he would be making a mistake to use force against the Islamic republic over its nuclear program.
"Bush should know that our capabilities are much greater than those of the United States," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters. "We don't think that the United States will make such a mistake."
On Friday, Bush refused to rule out the use of force against Iran over its resumption of nuclear activities, saying "all options are on the table."
The warning from Iran's foreign ministry came as ultra-conservative President Mahmood Ahmadinejad unveiled his new cabinet, most of whom are members or former members of the secret police or Revolutionary Guard.
Ahmadinejad, the mayor of Tehran who won an upset election victory in June, has been linked with the holding of 52 U.S. hostages for 444 days in 1979 and 1980, with the assassination of a Kurdish dissident in Austria in 1989 and with the recruitment and training of suicide bombers in the last two years.
