U.S., Allies Say Iran Has Secret Nuclear Facility
September 26, 2009 by Karen DeYoung and Michael D. Shear
President Obama's charge that Iran is constructing a secret nuclear fuel facility brought years of confrontation over the country's alleged nuclear weapons program to a new crisis point Friday, as he joined with the leaders of Britain and France to warn that international patience is waning fast.
"Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow," Obama said, condemning what he described as a "covert uranium enrichment facility" that Western intelligence discovered years ago and has since been covertly monitoring. He called for Iran to allow international inspectors to "immediately investigate" the facility, located beneath the mountains near the city of Qom.
