Israel's Peres: 'Iran can also be wiped off the map'

Vice Premier Shimon Peres said Monday that "the president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map."

"Teheran is making a mockery of the international community's efforts to solve the crisis surrounding Iran's nuclear program," Peres told Reuters, adding that "Iran presents a danger to the entire world, not just to us."

Peres's vehement expressions came the same day that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wrote to US President George W. Bush proposing "new solutions" to their differences in the first letter from an Iranian leader to an American president in 27 years, Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said Monday.

In the letter, Ahmadinejad proposes "new solutions for getting out of international problems and current fragile situation of the world," Elham said.

Peres did not say who should act against Iran if it continues with its nuclear program, but implied military action should be led by the United States, pointing to the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Israeli officials have indicated that Israel would join any international operation against Iran.

Peres urged China and Russia to join Western efforts to impose sanctions on Iran. The two countries have been reluctant to back such proposals in the UN Security Council. If all world powers are united against Iran, military action can be avoided, Peres said.

"We can prevent all of this threat, without weapons, if there will be unity," Peres said, adding that the Security Council had to act on the matter. "If the crucial moment comes and they are incapable of taking [action] or making a policy...then they endanger their existence as an important world body," he said.

Israel will hit Iran in the next few months: Israeli official

By Khalid Hasan

WASHINGTON: Israel will strike Iran’s nuclear facilities in the next “month or two or three,” an Israeli official has been quoted here as saying.

The unnamed official told Arnaud de Borchgrave, editor-in-chief of the United Press International (UPI), at the recently held national day reception at the Israeli Embassy that he believed Israel would strike Iran first in the next two or three months and that fighter bombers would not be involved as they had been to take out Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor before it went critical in 1981. For Osirak, Israel had used 14 F-15s and F-16s. This time, the Israeli said, it would be missiles. Asked if Israel would employ Cruise missiles, he replied, “with a gesture of his hand that went up and down again”, which meant that it would be the weapon of choice.

Asked if tunnel entrances to widely scattered Iranian nuclear facilities would be targeted, he responded that Israel had its own geo-stationary spy-in-the-sky satellite taking constant pictures of Iran with a resolution down to 70 centimetres. “We know far more than anyone realises,” he added.

De Borchgrave’s report quoted a poll of conservative Republicans by a conservative web-based news service, which showed overwhelmingly strong support for bombing Iran. Almost 60,000 people took part in the poll and 88 percent agreed that Iran poses a greater threat than Saddam Hussein did before the Iraq War. To the question, “Should the US undertake military action against Iran to stop their (nuclear) programme?” 77 percent replied yes, 23 percent said no. Forty-five percent said that military action should be taken by the United States, while 35 percent wanted Israel to do that. Twenty percent said neither. As for whether US efforts to contain Iran’s nuclear weapons are working, 93 percent said they were not, while 89 percent said the US should not rely solely on the UN.

According to de Borchgrave, “Israel has developed some 100 Jericho-II medium-range ballistic missiles (which entered service in 1989). Jericho II’s range varies from 1,500 to 3,500 kilometres, depending on payload weight. They are deployed in underground caves and silos. Israel has several satellites in orbit - Ofeq-1 through Ofeq-5 - that were launched by Shavit space launch vehicles (SLV). The first two stages of the Shavit were Jericho II missiles. There are unconfirmed reports of an upgraded Jericho-3 missile with a range of over 3,000 kilometres.

Israel has no right to exist. Iran however, is a civilisation that has existed continuously since before there were records. The israelis are just a bunch of fat germans with weapons who behave EXACTLY like a bunch of fat Germans with weapons.

Perhaps we can just suppose that that unnamed official was one of the caterers boys who'd been into the Manischewitz???

The U.N is irrelevant; the peace council is dead, pre-emption and nuclear weapons are the way to bring peace, not the U.N. gwdance flushblair

I can confirm that the Israeli's grow impatient, but are currently satisfied to allow the international community to resolve this issue. I believe if there is not a consensus within the next few months, they indeed will do something.

Well, there's a lot of side bettors on this one for the Israelis to contend:

P.A.
Hamas
Hezbollah
Syria
Al Jihad
P.I. Jihad
Al Queda



And of course, as those folks lay down their bets, many nervous residents of the area may be confronting the Kurds.


It is imperative that diplomacy resolve this impasse.

"...lot of side bettors on this one for the Israelis to contend."

Unless they were caught significantly off guard via surprise attack, they would prevail within 2 weeks. I do not think they will be easy to surprise given the present climate in the region.

I concur, DB.

But it is all so unnecessary - the casualties would be massive and the aftermath worse than the confrontation.

Speaking about Palestinian and Israeli terrorism against each other, what is the kill ratio?


As far as I can make out it is about 6 - 1 against the Palestinians, making it look like Israels army, the IDF, to be the aggressor...

Myron Fagan said that World War III would be fomented using the Controversies between Political Zionism and Islam. Bush is playing his part to a T, as well as all the Players. I know this is all a sham, because the President of Iran was just at Davos hobknobbing with the Globalswine Elite.

They NEED an enemy, or you'd wake up, and destroy their plans Nothing scares a Globalswine more than to know that we know what their plans are.
