JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 11 (UPI) -- A spokesman for U.S. President George Bush said Iran's announcement of an advance in nuclear materials processing shows Tehran going in the "wrong direction."
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, before Bush spoke on healthcare to a Missouri audience, said members of the international community have "clearly expressed their concerns" about Iran's nuclear program.
Iran has been referred to the U.N. Security Council, which is debating which diplomatic steps to take.
Iranian officials, in a televised announcement Tuesday, said their scientists had enriched uranium. Iran claims its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes but enriched uranium is needed for weapons development.
"I think this only further underscores why the international community has serious concerns about the regime's nuclear ambitions," McClellan said. "This is a regime that needs to be building confidence with the international community. Instead they're moving the wrong direction."
