President Obama warns Iran to stop using underground facility to build nuclear weapons

Friday, September 25, 2009

 As reported by CNN, President Obama formally stated today that Iran had clandestinely built an underground plant to make nuclear fuel that could be used to build an atomic bomb. Iran has to meet with the United States and other major nations on Oct. 1 to discuss the nuclear issue.
Why is this an issue to the United States?

Obama said, "Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow. The size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful program."

"Iran is on notice that when we meet with them on Oct. 1 they are going to have to come clean and they are going to have to make a choice" between international isolation and giving up any aspirations to becoming a nuclear power, he said. If they refuse to give ground, they will stay on "a path that is going to lead to confrontation."
 Defense Secretary Robert Gates, speaking Friday on CNN's "State of the Union," said it would be a mistake to rule out military action, but he also said there was still room to pursue diplomacy.
