Iran aims to control the Middle East, thereby controlling a major part
of the World's economy, President Shimon Peres told the AIPAC Conference
in Washington Sunday, asserting that "it must be stopped, and it will
be stopped."
Using especially harsh rhetoric against Iran's rulers, the president
called the Iranian government an "evil, cruel, morally corrupt regime"
based on destruction, adding that it is "an affront to human dignity."
Tehran is the central sponsor and financier of world terrorism, he
added, saying it threatens Berlin, Madrid, Delhi and Bangkok, referring
to recent attacks against Israel diplomats in India and Thailand.
