Issuing a stern warning to Iran at the end of a Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh, Obama pointedly declined to rule out the military option in dealing with the bitter standoff with Tehran but insisted he preferred to resolve it diplomatically. Obama stood earlier in the day with the leaders of Britain and France in accusing Iran of working in secret for several years to build a covert underground plant for enriching uranium that could be used for developing nuclear weapons. "The international community has spoken. It is now up to Iran to respond," Obama said at a closing news conference. The fresh disclosure of the scope of Iran's disputed nuclear program added a new sense of urgency to Tehran's much-anticipated talks with the United States and five other powers on October 1 in Geneva. Iran has maintained its nuclear program is strictly for peaceful electricity generation. U.S. officials said Iran started building the covert plant as an alternate site for possible weapons development since the International Atomic Energy Agency's scrutiny at its Natanz facility made it difficult to conduct such activities there. A defiant Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insisted the facility near the holy city of Qom was legal and open for inspection by the IAEA, the U.N. nuclear watchdog. He said the plant was 18 months from starting operations and Western powers would regret accusing Iran of hiding it. "It's not a secret site," Ahmadinejad told a news conference in New York where he was attending the U.N. General Assembly. Ahmadinejad said Israel, Iran's arch-foe in the region, "wouldn't dare to attack" and that Iranians were able to defend themselves. ONUS ON IRAN IN TALKS Iran acknowledged the existence of the facility for the first time on Monday in a letter to the IAEA, a belated disclosure U.S. officials said was meant to beat Western governments to the punch. Obama said the United States and its allies were "absolutely" confident of their intelligence on the clandestine nuclear site. Obama put the onus on Iran to address international concerns in next week's talks. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
