In a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicholas Sarkozy Friday, Barack Obama has announced the discovery of a secret uranium enrichment facility near Qom.
“The existence of this facility underscores Iran’s continuing unwillingness to meet its obligations under UN Security Council resolutions,” Obama said, adding that the site at Kohm has been under construction “for several years.”
The three world leaders presented their information to the IAEA on Thursday.
“We expect the IAEA to immediately investigate this disturbing information and to report back to the IAEA Board of Governors,” Obama said.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei admitted Saturday that the site existed and would “soon” become operational, and invited IAEA officials to inspect the site.
Other Iranian officials added rhetoric that is worrisome at best.
“This new facility, God willing, will become operational soon and will blind the eyes of the enemies,” Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani told the semi-official Fars news agency.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the revelation was firm proof Iran was seeking nuclear weapons.
“This removes the dispute whether Iran is developing military nuclear power or not and therefore the world powers need to draw conclusions,” Lieberman told Israel radio. “Without a doubt, it is a reactor for military purposes not peaceful purposes.”Israel considers Iran a strategic threat due to its nuclear program, missile development and repeated references by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Israel’s destruction.

Can’t believe he actually called Ahmadinejad out on this–AND he said words that were true. I actually have just recovered from the shock of it
But Listen? Obama serves Obama– He is right friendly with Gordon Brown… I won’t go into that. But watch–there will only be more sanctions. WHOOP-TE–DOO!
Iran isn’t going to stop–They WANT to cause destruction. Ahmadinejad thinks it is what will bring his Mahdi in-which by the way is our Anti-Christ–not A anti-Christ-THE anti-Christ.
Our Jesus Christ is Islams antiChrist-and Islams Mahdi–is OUR antiChrist.
They WANT havoc and war–
Yes, It looks like Iran will be attacked sometime early October.
But it will only be after they “attack” us the same way al Queda “attacked” us on 9/11.
Are you ready?
