PITTSBURGH – President Barack Obama and the leaders of France and Britain will accuse Iran at the opening of the G-20 economic summit Friday of building a secret facility to produce nuclear fuel, a senior White House official told The Associated Press.
AP aticle here.
Whoa there, holy crap. The fact that Iran has been pursuing nuclear capabilities doesn't surprise me. When was the last time a nuclear power was invaded and occupied. However there is a few more details. BTW did you know there were G-20 protest "riots".
The official said the plant could be in operation by next year.
Oh, whew, it'll only be a year before it's pumping out enriched uranium, maybee. The facts about this facility are, according the ap article:
A)It was a secret installation only disclosed by Iran to the IAEA tis moday.
B) It wasn't quite secret seeing as US officials admit to knowing about it for years.
C) This issue will have serious ramifications at home and abroad.
Signs point to a heated response from the Obama admin.
"They have cheated three times," a senior White House official told the Times. "And now they have been caught three times."
What effect, if any, will this have on priorities of the admin?
Big questions.
