Iran Announces New Nuclear Facility, Tests Missiles

Posted Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Featured on Episode 3 of the 2009-2010 season

 

Over the past 30 years the U.S. and Iran have not always gotten along, and now tensions between the two countries have intensified. Last week, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed that nation had built a second uranium enrichment facility. It had been hidden from view and is not yet operational. The U.S. believes it could be used to make nuclear weapons; Mr. Ahmadinejad says it will be used in the development of nuclear energy. And over the weekend, there was more concern when Iran test fired both short-range and long-range missiles. President Obama and his advisors are worried for the safety of their allies that are close to Iran.
