HONOLULU (AP) – President Barack Obama says he and Chinese President Hu Jintao want to ensure that Iran lives by "international rules and norms" amid fresh allegations that Tehran is conducting nuclear weapons work in secret.
Obama’s meeting with Hu on Saturday followed a lengthy discussion with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific summit in Hawaii..
As he met with Medvedev, Obama told reporters the U.S. and Russia intend to intend to "shape a common response" to Iran’s nuclear efforts.
The meetings came the day after the International Atomic Energy Agency circulated a report and documents that it says suggest Iran has been conducting research and procurement that could lead to a nuclear bomb. Iranian officials insist their nuclear program is only for energy and research, and call the IAEA evidence a U.S. fabrication.
