    BUSH WON'T ATTACK IRAN IN NEAR FUTURE, AHMADINEJAD SAYS

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday that
    U.S. President George W. Bush's era "has come to an end" and he has
    failed in his goals to attack Iran and stop its nuclear program.

    Ahmadinejad, addressing thousands of people in this central Iranian
    city, also described the U.S.

    president as "wicked."

    "This wicked man desires to harm the Iranian nation.

    (Bush) made plans, moved into Afghanistan and then Iraq, and announced
    that Iran was the third target," he said.

    "I tell him (Bush) ... your era has come to an end.

    With the grace of God, you won't be able to harm even one centimeter
    of the sacred land of Iran," he said.

    Bush on Wednesday repeated his stance that no options were ruled
    out in trying to get Iran to drop its nuclear ambitions. At a joint
    news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he said "my
    first choice is to solve this diplomatically, but all options are on
    the table."

    Bush, who has just seven months left in office before stepping down
    as president, attended his final U.S.-European Union summit of his
    presidency Tuesday.

    He said he won European promises to tighten pressure on Tehran with
    U.N. sanctions and possibly other new penalties.

    Ahmadinejad said pressures and sanctions won't succeed in forcing
    Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program.

    "In the past two-three years, they employed all their might, resorted
    to propaganda ... and sanctions. If the enemy thinks they can break
    the Iranian nation with pressure, they are wrong ... With God's help,
    today we have achieved victory and the enemies cannot do a damned
    thing," he said, the AP reports.

    The U.S. and some of its allies accuse Iran of seeking a nuclear
    bomb. Iran has rejected the charges saying its nuclear program is
    aimed at generating electricity not a weapon.

    The U.N. Security Council has imposed three sets of limited sanctions
    against Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment, a technology
    that can be used to produce nuclear fuel or materials for bomb.

    Iran has not only continued enriching uranium but has expanded its
    uranium enrichment program, installing more centrifuges used to
    enrich uranium.
