Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres warned Tuesday that Iran risked its own destruction if it tried to wipe out the Jewish state. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has said the world should not take Ahmadinejad’s threats lightly.

Western nations have accused Iran of trying to obtain nuclear weapons under the disguise of its controversial nuclear program, but the Islamic state insists that it is only intended for peaceful means.
