He said the international community was unified over Iran's "misbehaviour". Speaking in Washington, he said despite Tehran's denials, it was clear Iran was working to build nuclear weapons. His remarks came after Iranian state media reported that Iran had started the process of enriching uranium to 20% for use in a medical research reactor.
