The populist president accused the United States and Spain of siding with his enemies

Seems to me that for a "populist", he's pretty damn unpopular.

Iran Fears U.S. Aims to Reshape Mideast
abcnews.go.com

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (Reuters) - Iran, afraid Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction, voiced greater fears on Sunday that the United States aims to reshape the Middle East by launching a war against its old enemy.

Iran would deploy troops along its western border to stop any incursions if the United States unleashed war on Iraq, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi told Reuters. But he said Iranian troops would not cross into Iraq.

Although President Bush a year ago bracketed Iran in an "axis of evil" with Iraq and North Korea, the Iranian minister said he did not fear his country would be next in the U.S. firing line even though Washington is already locked in crises with the others.

Kharrazi said Iraq must be stripped of weapons of mass destruction but voiced anxiety about what he called a hidden U.S. agenda in the region.
