Blair 'revulsion' at Iran remarks

Tony Blair has expressed 'revulsion' at the Iranian president's assertion that he wanted Israel 'wiped off the map'.

Mr Blair told an EU summit at Hampton Court, near London, that he had 'never come across' comments like those made by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday.

He added that Iran, suspected of having a nuclear weapons programme, could soon be considered a 'real threat'.
