Bush maintains pressure on Iran | |
(20 minutes later) | |
President Bush has insisted a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guards is linked to some attacks on US troops in Iraq. | |
The US was "certain", he said, that the force was providing a weapon known as an EDF that the US says has been used in particularly deadly attacks. | |
But he said he did not know who was directing the force, and denied laying the groundwork for an attack on Iran. | |
Mr Bush also defended his Iraq strategy a day after the House of Representatives began debating it. | |
He admitted that it would take time to secure Baghdad, and said that violence would continue, but said it was vital to US security to succeed in Iraq. | |
"If we fail there the enemy will follow us here. I firmly believe that," he said. | |
The US House of Representatives on Tuesday began debate on a resolution opposing the president's plan, which is expected to pass easily. |
