    Israeli president: Clock ticking on Iran

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's president says the international community is closer to pursuing a military solution to the standoff over Iran's nuclear program than a diplomatic one.

    The remarks by Shimon Peres to Israel's channel 2 TV Friday were unusual because he is known as a dove and optimist.

    Peres said world leaders need to "fulfill their promises" to stop Iran "whatever it takes." He said, "There is a long menu as to what can be done." He did not elaborate.

    The interview comes days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reported to be seeking ministers' support for a strike against Iran.

    Israel, the U.S. and other nations suspect Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons. Iran says its atomic program only has peaceful aims. Negotiations and sanctions have failed to resolve the standoff.

        im Not a warrior, I am a guy that supports the Geneva convention, UN and world court. I believe those bodies are the tools to use to solve problems.
    • MAD AMERICAN !  •  Fremont, United States  •  6 mths ago
      When a country is about to attack it dont tell the world !
      Our media would have you think Iran is in the stone age Russia and China has been selling arms to Iran for decades They make missiles of there own
      This war if it happens will be with missiles not armys
      Iran is NOT A arab country !
      • Ēqualizer 6 mths ago
        I thought that, typically, there was a legal declaration of war? At least from the law abiding nations, that is.

        Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
      • MAD AMERICAN ! 6 mths ago
        As you said typically who ever said Israel has ever obided by any internatianal law ?
      • Ēqualizer 6 mths ago
        Ever obided by any international law?

        Oh hell, I guess you really haven't been paying attention.

      Before any religion or anything else we are all humans. We people should pray for peace together because once again the whole world is on the brink of war just because of some people.
      • ☼☺ 6 mths ago
        And before anything else, who are those people?
      • Syed Kazmi 6 mths ago
        The criminals who are ruling us, In USA, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Uk etc.
      • ☼☺ 6 mths ago
        Well, USA, Israel ... ok. The rest, I would not be so quick to judge.
    • Get Back  •  6 mths ago
      Why would Iran want a nuke?

      A For self defense

      B So they could attack Israel

      Why would they want one for self defense?
      Why would they attack Israel?
      • Darth Soros 6 mths ago
        Because the little hitler of Iran believes by starting this war he can bring back the Mahdi or 12th Ihmam to rule the world.. look it up.
      • beni 6 mths ago
        because Ahemed El Najar declared his goal is to cancel Israel from the world map
      • DJPriest 6 mths ago
        Or C) So they could attack the US
        Or D) So they could put around the world community with there new power
        Or E) So they could dominate the Middle East and upset the balance of power in that region.
        I can go on...

      NEWS CORRECTED: It was wife of Israeli President begging him for a baby. She screamed: "my CLOCK IS TICKING, do it, or I RUN!"... and the Israeli news media got it all mixed up...

    • DavidT  •  6 mths ago
      Yes, James, there are "many Arab countries" because, as they documented on their own, they invaded from the Arabian Peninsula on Jihad, slaughtering and evicting most non-Muslims. Hence the killing of Jews and Christians in the Middle East, blacks in North Africa, Hindus in South Asia, more Christians and Jews in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkans, and other places.

      Hows about the US stay out of this mess!
    • Sandiego  •  6 mths ago
      Did I miss all the fun? Ok, go kill each other!
      Here's another idea: Instead of killing each other, sit down and talk in fair manner. 90% of conflicts will be resolved if people talked in fairness and good will. Both Persians and Jews have long history in civilization; what happened to you guys, you've tuned into savages?!
    • redman1974  •  Minneapolis, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Note this bas**** says the international community, in other words he wants the US to do it. Israel is tiny and cannot threaten Iran. Their planes would be shot down over Iraq or Turkey. Turkey is a NATO country and has sophisticated air defences. And Iraq is protested by the US air forces. Iraq has stated clearly they will not allow another country to use their air for any attack on a neighbor, which means if the US looked the other way those 30,000 US troops in Iraq would still be at risk.

      And do you really think Saudi Arabia is going to let Israeli aircraft in their air? Seriously, tell this guy to shove it and bury his head in the sand, no pun intended.
    • just a soldier  •  New York, United States  •  6 mths ago
      what happened to "defensive wars" why US taxpayers think they should be involved in sponsoring a war with country 10000km away in the sand and NO real threat capability? Israel cant have that much influence.
    • Pook  •  6 mths ago
      Zvi, personally I think it is a bluff, but that would be a disaster. Oil would hit 250 easily. Our economy would be f'ed and I mean f'ed. It would kill Europe as well.
    • Matthew  •  Kuwait City, Kuwait  •  6 mths ago
      Sitting here in Kuwait with 18 other Marines. A quick poll indicates ZERO support for American preemptive action on Iran, They are currently not a threat to the US. We ask that all you armchair warriors in the States kindly renounce your citizenship and join the IDF. We want no part of your nonsense. It's Israel's problem.

    • Murat  •  New York, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Threats do not bring peace. Look what happens to states who lack deterrance. Sooner the Israeli leaders realize they happen to live smack in the middle of Middle East and not Europe or America, better we will all be.
