Obama, Sarkozy & Brown talk tough on Iran


President Obama, flanked by France's Sarkozy & Britain's Brown, sternly warns Iran


Obama blasts Iran for secret nuclear facility

President Obama accused Iran of running a secret uranium enrichment plant for years in a "direct challenge" to the international community. "It is time for Iran to act immediately by fulfilling its international obligations" to shut down the weapons programs, Obama said.

Obama was flanked by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Brown said "it's time to draw a line in the sand," against Iran's nuclear programs...

Sarkozy hinted at a military option. "Everything, everything must now be on the table," he said.

The dramatic disclosure by Obama transformed "engagement" talks with Iran scheduled to begin in Geneva next Thursday, from a feeling-out session into a showdown.
