KEY POINTS:
WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush and his administration are not contemplating invading Iran, the White House said overnight.
"I've said it, the secretary of defence has said it, the president has said it: We're not invading Iran," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday his country would target US interests if it came under attack.
"He's spinning a hypothetical about something that is not contemplated," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.
