Reuters (via Gateway Pundit) reports on something that may have been known for quite a while now: they have another nuclear plant for uranium enrichment in the works:

Iran has told the U.N. nuclear watchdog it has a second uranium enrichment plant under construction, a belated disclosure sure to heighten Western fears of an Iranian bid for atom bombs.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said on Friday Iran had revealed the existence of the plant to IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei on Monday, just as six world powers and Iran prepare to discuss its disputed nuclear drive on October 1.

The IAEA said Iran had told ElBaradei in a letter that the plant would enrich uranium only to a level needed to generate electricity.

"The agency also understands from Iran that no nuclear material has been introduced into the facility," International Atomic Energy Agency spokesman Marc Vidricaire said.

The agency requested specific information and an immediate inspection of the plant to ensure it was for peaceful purposes.

Not that the response from Britain and France was that great - calling for sanctions is simply not enough and does little - but was a lot more than Obama's own comments, which did not seem to call for anything.

On a related note, The Washington Post has pulled a dirty little stunt:

Iran's stubborn and charismatic president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, offered no contrition

Never mind the "contrition", what I want to know is - why are they inserting "charismatic" into the report? A monster like that? They are truly disgusting, attempting to obscure the persona of a murderous monster who'd target them as well given the chance.
