SNIPPET: “America, Britain and France raised the prospect of new, tough sanctions after Tehran was forced to admit that its experts have secretly constructed a highly sensitive nuclear plant.
This facility, buried in a mountain outside the city of Qom, is designed to enrich uranium and could be used to produce the essential material for a nuclear weapon. Iran chose to admit its existence shortly before President Barack Obama, Gordon Brown and President Nicolas Sarkozy of France made a joint appearance at the start of the G20 summit in Pittsburgh.”
SNIPPET: “The secret facility, which Western intelligence agencies discovered some months ago, is due to become operational next year. The plant is large enough to hold 3,000 centrifuges, the machines used to enrich uranium. A clandestine facility of this kind, beyond the reach of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, would be enough to produce sufficient weapons-grade uranium for one nuclear bomb in about a year.”
SNIPPET: “A US official said the facility was located 120 miles south-west of Tehran, in a network of underground tunnels found beneath a military base once used as a missile test site by the Revolutionary Guards.”
