Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his annual speech to the United Nations General Assembly to accuse Iran of having another secret facility for its nuclear program and to call on the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect the site immediately.
Standing at the UN podium Thursday, Netanyahu waved a photograph of a building in Tehran that he said Israeli intelligence had identified as a previously unknown storage warehouse for Iran’s nuclear work. Iranian authorities had in the past month removed 15 kilograms (33 pounds) of radioactive material from the warehouse and hid it around Tehran, he said, adding that the site contains 300 tons of nuclear-related equipment and material.
