A month after President Bush warned that the United States hasn’t ruled out military action against Iran, President Mohammad Khatami responded Thursday that his country would turn into a “scorching hell” for any possible attackers. Khatami’s comments were made at a rally of tens of thousands gathered on a snowy square in Tehran to mark the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Last week, Bush accused Iran of being “the world”s primary state sponsor of terror,” and last month he said his administration won”t rule out using military force against Iran over its nuclear program. Despite the rhetoric between Washington and Tehran, Iran signaled yesterday that it could reach a deal with European Union negotiators on its nuclear program.
