President Barack Obama, along with other Western leaders, accused Iran on Friday of building a secret nuclear fuel plant. He demanded Tehran immediately cease what he called a "direct challenge" to the international community. "It is time for Iran to act immediately to restore the confidence of the international community by fulfilling its international obligations," Obama said.
Obama went public with the charge at the G-20 summit, a gathering of finance ministers and central bank governors, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The confrontation sharpened the standoff with Iran over its disputed nuclear program.
Obama revealed that Tehran had been building the plant in secret for years, and the U.N. reported earlier on Friday that Iran had just told it of a second uranium enrichment plant under construction. Iran is already under U.N. sanctions for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment and refusing access to Western intelligence in order to determine whether the current technology is being used to developing nuclear bombs, or just generating electricity.
