FoxNews reports that the United Nations has become aware that the Islamic regime is building a secret nuclear facility in Iran. That story is here.
FoxNews reported that intelligence agencies discovered the secret construction of an underground nuclear facility in Iran. Reportedly, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reported the construction of the facility to the International Atomic Energy Agency by letter after he learned that the underground nuclear site had been discovered. The letter from President Ahmadinejad claimed the nuclear facility would be used for peaceful purposes such as power production. The United Nations reports that the size of the facility is too small to be used for power production and the secrecy around the project also gives doubt. President Obama said that, “Iran is on notice…” and would have to come clean on their actions at their October 1st meeting. The President also said, “Iran can choose to give up what the U.S. says is the desire for nuclear weapons and abide by international standards, or it can continue down a path toward confrontation.” The world community as a whole agreed with President Obama’s statements.
I am proud of President Obama for taking a stand against this activity. President Obama made some strict demands and didn’t rule out military action. He did however say he would choose to resolve the situation diplomatically. The President has a history of being weak on these issues and I’m glad he’s taking a stand against Iran. A better test though will be if Iran fails to comply. Will President Obama take military action or is this nothing more than a bluff.
I am curious to see how Iran responds as they have denied inspectors access at this time. The secrecy combined with their unwillingness to cooperate doesn’t support their allegation that this is nothing more than peaceful research.
