[Washington Post] Robin Wright - President Bush warned Iran Tuesday that its confrontation with three U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf on Sunday was a provocative act, as the Pentagon released audio and video recordings of the dawn showdown. Bush said one of the themes of his Middle East trip will be the menace posed by Iran, particularly because it has not complied with two UN resolutions telling it to suspend its uranium enrichment.

And Iran will continue to be a threat if they are allowed to learn how to enrich uranium."
