(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "The possibility of a military attack against Iran is now closer to being applied than the application of a diplomatic option," Peres told the Israel Hayom daily.
"We must stay calm and resist pressure so that we can consider every alternative," he added.
"I don't think that any decision has already been made, but there is an impression that Iran is getting closer to nuclear weapons."
Iran denies any such ambition and insists its nuclear program is for power generation and medical purposes only.
In comments published on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi accused the IAEA of "political" behavior and said its report would be "baseless."
"I believe that these documents lack authenticity. But if they insist, they should go ahead and publish. Better to face danger once than be always in danger," several Iranian dailies quoted Salehi as saying.
"We have said repeatedly that their documents are baseless. For example one can counterfeit money, but it remains counterfeit. These documents are like that," Salehi said.
