TEHRAN -- There was nothing new in U.S. President George W. Bush’s Monday speech, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said on Tuesday.

Unfortunately in the past 7 years “we have been hearing Bush’s nonsensical statements and baseless accusations against our country, and it can clearly be sensed that the people and even Congressmen of the United States of America are tired of such words,” Hosseini noted.
Bush warned Iran Monday that the United States will “confront those who threaten our troops” and defend its allies and interests in the Persian Gulf, AFP reported.
Bush, in excerpts of his State of the Union speech provided by the White House, also urged Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment program, embrace political reforms, and “cease your support for terror abroad.”
Iran’s Foreign Ministry official added the U.S. president is spending the final months of his presidency and he has not made any remarkable achievements at home and abroad.
It is unlikely that he would be able to cover up his failures through putting the blame on others, and the world public opinion is well aware of his illegitimate approaches, he added.
Hosseini advised Bush to put the “real concerns of the U.S. people” on his agenda, and seek to find a solution to the economic depression, violation of human values, and the severe mental problems of the U.S. soldiers exhausted by the Iraq occupation so that he might leave some achievements in his record
