The international community should engage in a moral attack on Iran, not a military one, Israeli President Shimon Peres said. Speaking for CNN on Monday, Peres said he felt a military option was not the first option to stop Iran's race to acquire nuclear weapons. Israeli president favors "moral attack" He specified that he "wouldn't suggest to start immediately with a military operation". "I would rather prefer to see tighter economic sanctions, closer political pressure and what is lacking very much is an attack in the moral sense," the Israeli president told CNN. Peres described Iran as "a spoiled, morally corrupt country": "They are the only country threatening to destroy another country, openly. They arrest the opposition, they shoot around, they spread arms, they encourage every center of terror all over the world." Peres rejected the possibility that Israel would act alone against Iran's nuclear program, saying that "Israel will first of all see what the world is doing", and stated that Iran was not an exclusively Israeli problem, warning that "Iran's terror network" was a global issue. "It's a danger. And today terror is a global matter, very much like economy. They can arrive, 9/11, to New York, they can arrive to Chechnya, they can arrive to Moscow. It's mobile and its dangerous," he said. Shimon Peres (FoNet, file)

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
