Barack Obama raises spectre of nuclear conflict as Allies find site near Iran holy city
Catherine Philp in New York and Francis Elliott in Pittsburgh
Britain, France and the United States set the stage for a dramatic confrontation with Iran when they revealed the existence of a secret nuclear site inside a mountain near the holy city of Qom as evidence of Tehran’s efforts to deceive the international community.
The coup de théâtre came at the opening of the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh after three days of intense diplomacy at the UN General Assembly. President Obama, President Sarkozy and Gordon Brown took turns to demand that Iran disclose its nuclear ambitions and threaten new sanctions.
Later, Mr Obama raised the spectre of military conflict, saying that failure by Iran to give up its pursuit of nuclear weapons would lead down “a path that is going to lead to confrontation”.
“Iran is on notice that when we meet with them on October 1 they are going to have to come clean and they are going to have to make a choice,” he said.

What’s he going to do, hit them with his purse?
Somebody is playing 'big time' with is mind. And that speech at the UN cannot be ignored given his holier than thou routine he performed. I still have playing in my head him using the word 'illegitimate', given we know nothing really about his origins and benchmarks of his life.
lol
The confrontation he is talking about is SANCTIONS only ,if there is Nuclear conflict that will be Instigated by Israel defending themselves not by the Feckless Wimp Obozo
“Stop - or else we’ll be forced to yell ‘Stop’ again!”
>>they are going to have to make a choice
What choice? The only choice Iran has to make is how they want Obama to grovel before them.
Very good analysis. This reminds me of Israel’s decimation of the Egyptian army in the 6 Day War. They knew that if they did it right, they wouldn’t have to fight them again for some time.
they knew we would not actively oppose them. can you or anyone say for certain the commander in chief won’t actively oppose them? Its a consideration.
Mr Obama raised the spectre of military conflict ... “Iran is on notice that when we meet with them on October 1 they are going to have to come clean and they are going to have to make a choice,” he said.
(swoon) Ooooooh Barry.
You sound sooooooo manly when you talk tough.
*A tingle just ran up my leg!*
He will at least get a last minute pardon like Marc Rich.
wow.
yet another holy city huh?
Fancy that.
Iran will say, “hey assh*le we have your real BC and we will release to every paper on the planet.”
Obama, “oh in that case never mind.”
