WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States has evidence that Iran has secretly been constructing large nuclear facilities -- sites that could possibly be used to make nuclear weapons, senior U.S. officials tell CNN.

 

Commercial satellite photographs taken in September show a nuclear facility near the town of Natanz and another one near Arak, the officials said. (view map)

 

"It's disturbing news. We don't need another nuclear power -- not with Iran sponsoring terrorism that it has in the past," said Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Alabama, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

 

"The fact that they are seemingly pursuing an avenue to build nuclear weapons should be disturbing to everybody," he said.

 

Iranian dissidents have long contended that Iran has been working on nuclear capabilities. But the new satellite photographs and the conclusions drawn by them by nuclear experts are the first time there has been any evidence to support such claims....
