Medvedev: We Oppose Iranian Nukes, Seek Ties With Israel
President Medvedev and President Peres met at the Russian leader's summer residence in Sochi, a well known resort on the shore of the Black Sea. The two men discussed their nations' bilateral relations, Russia's involvement in negotiations between Israel and Arab leaders, the fate of Israeli hostage Gilad Shalit, ongoing Russian arms sales to nations hostile to Israel, as well as the Iranian nuclear program.
"The problem with Iran is not only the desire to produce nuclear weapons," President Peres explained to his host, "but also the character of the regime. Mr. President, I am a Jew. A large portion of my family, from Belarus, were murdered by the Nazis, and I am unable to sit and do nothing when I hear the Iranian president calling for the destruction of Israel. From my point of view, a nuclear weapon in Iranian hands has only one meaning - a flying death camp."
Peres said that Iran's leaders may not launch a nuclear missile at Israel "tomorrow morning, but there is no doubt that it will take place." Iranian investment in long-range missiles "is clear indication of its intent," he said. More
