Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, has said that the US is incapable of inflicting damage on Iran, in an interview with state television on Tuesday.

 

The Iranian leader also said that "wise" Americans would not allow George Bush, the US president, to attack Iran , as a US Navy carrier group moved toward the country.

 

Ahmadinejad said: "They [the US] are not really in a position to carry out this action [of attacking Iran]. I believe there are many wise people in the United States who would not let it happen."
