Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed with his Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres Iran’s nuclear problems during a meeting in Jerusalem, the first leg of Putin\'s current tour of the region. \"Iran’s present leaders speak openly about the wish to raze Israel off the face of the earth. We could not tolerate it if the regime threatening us should get hold of nuclear weapons. I address you personally on this matter, as you know what this moment means to our destiny. I am sure that you voice on this matter will be heard,\" Peres said at the meeting last night. For his part, the Russian leader noted that the situation in the world and in the region changes very much. \"In these changing conditions we must find such forms of interaction among all countries of the region and in the world that would enable everyone to live in peace and calm and create such conditions as would ensure development,\" Putin stressed. Earlier, the Russian President also discussed the Iranian nuclear issue with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking at a joint press conference after the meeting, Netanyahu reiterated his oft-stated demand that Iran halt its uranium enrichment program, transfer all enriched uranium out of the country, and disassemble its underground nuclear facilities. \"I believe that we should be doing two things now: boosting the sanctions and also boosting the demands,\" Netanyahu said, referring to a series of commerce, banking and oil restrictions against the Iranian government. Putin, meanwhile, said they \"spoke in detail about the Syria issue and about the Iranian nuclear program.\" \"I\'m convinced that the cooperation between Russia and Israel will develop later as well, and this matter certainly meets the demands and interests of both states, in the region and in the world at large,\" the Russian leader said. Putin arrived in Israel Monday as part of his current Mideast tour that will also take him to Ramallah and Jordan.
