Ahmadinejad: War Threat is a 'Joke'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad again took aim at the West on Tuesday, blaming the US and Europe for "artificially" raising oil prices and dismissing as "a funny joke" fears that his country could come under attack.

But, on a visit to Malaysia, told a news conference Tuesday that the US and Israel were "focusing on propaganda and psychological warfare."

"Before, it would be considered as a serious issue," he said, speaking through an interpreter.

But Iranians are so used to the threats that they now treat it as a "very funny show. ... These type of wars are considered as a funny joke."

He added, "I assure you that there won't be any war in the future."
