When responding to a question about how seriously he believed Iran was pursuing a nuclear bomb following Russian President Vladimir Putin's assertion that he had seen no evidence Teheran was constructing nuclear weapons, Bush warned of "World War III" on Wednesday should Iran gain the know-how to build such a nuclear bomb.
"We got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel," Bush told reporters at a White House press conference. "So I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon."
On Thursday, Iran rejected Bush's ''World War III'' warning as ''nothing more than a psychological war''
'This kind of remarks just reflects US anger over Iran's success in the international scenery and are nothing more than psychological war against Iran,'' the deputy head of the National Security Council, Rahman Fazli, told the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA).
