US and Israeli war threats are a 'joke' - Ahmadinejad

Iran’s president said today that he does not see the possibility of a war with the United States or Israel, dismissing military threats by the two countries as a “funny joke".

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also called for confidence-building by the next US administration, saying it should make up for the “domineering hegemony” of President George Bush and rebuild America’s reputation in the eyes of the world.
