Not a big enough article for it's own thread, but intriguing none the less:
Obama: Iran must allow IAEA 'unfettered' access in two weeks
President Barack Obama said Thursday that Iran must provide the International Atomic Energy Agency "unfettered" access to the newly disclosed Qom uranium enrichment site within two weeks.
In a statement on talks held earlier Thursday in Geneva, Switzerland, between Iran and the so-called P5+1 allies including the United States, Obama said the head of the IAEA would be traveling soon to Iran to inspect the Qom facility.
Strong statement, but he doesn't mention any consequences if they don't, so it's hard to judge just how strong it actually is.
