During the nations`s yearly memorial day meant for thier soldiers as well as civilian who lost thier lives in war and terror attack, President Shimon Peres gave a speech on Sunday with a somber tone stating that Iran is a threat not to only Israel but to the entire world.

Indirectly refering to Iran`s current nuclear program, the Israeli president claimed that Iran is plotting to oblierate Israel. He also state that during this point in time no one should underestimate the capabilities, dangers and risks that such a country can pose.

Israel is continuously spurring the worldwide group to enforce stiff sanctions when it comes to Iran to pressure it into ending its nuclear plans, however Israel hasn`t considered making the decision of doing military strike on Iran unofficially.

Israel, the United states along with other nations believes that Iran is attempting to create nuclear weapons. However, Iran is taking a firm stand that its nuclear program is not meant for developing weapons but for peaceful purposes only.

President Peres also made claims that threat to Jewish people will soon after develop into a threat to civilised nations, while giving his speech at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem to the relations of fallen soldiers and civilians.

Israel is concerned about Iran`s nuclear program as it is a strategic threat becuase of long range missiles that were usually suggested by Iran`s president Ahmadinejad whenever he talks about Israel’s demise.

Several hours in advance in Tehran, Ahmadinejad made a formal speech in a military parade as well as warned the U.S. and its allies to stop backing Israel as well as stating that the military power have grown significantly and will be able to wipe out any intruders trying to invade its territory.

Air raid sirens sounded throughout Israel once nightfall to commerate the starting of the somber day, when relations visit graves at armed forces cemeteries throughout the nation. A second siren at midmorning Monday indicated the commencement of state ceremonies throughout the cemeteries. Based on the government`s data, 22,684 soldiers as well as civilians lost thier lives since 1860, the date is marked as the starting of a modern Jewish immigration.

The Defense Department pointed out that 111 Israelis were included to the list over the last year. The record consists of soldiers who died in training as well as traffic mishaps. Eentertainment spots closed up during Sunday evening. Israeli radio as well as TV stations broadcasted documentaries regarding Israel’s wars as well as stories of fallen soldiers.
