Israel 'shall prevail' if made to fight Iran: Peres

Israel "shall prevail" if forced to fight Iran, "an evil, cruel and morally corrupt regime" bent on controlling the Middle East, Israeli President Shimon Peres said in Washington Sunday.

His speech to a powerful pro-Israel lobby charged up the atmosphere for talks Monday between US President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will tackle the perceived nuclear threat from Iran.

"Iran is an evil, cruel, morally corrupt regime. It is based on destruction, and is an affront to human dignity," Peres told thousands of delegates at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) forum.

"Iran is the center, the sponsor, the financer of world terror. Iran is a danger to the entire world," he said in an address that was to be followed by minutes later by a speech from Obama.
