Mr Ahmadinejad said Mr Bush had brought a “message of confrontation” during his tour, during which he warned Arab allies that Iran posed a threat.
In an interview with al-Jazeera TV, the Iranian leader also said Israel “would not dare” attack Iran.

Reports in the Israeli media said the long-range missile was aimed at intercepting aerial threats against the Jewish state.
