Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told BBC News online that America welcomes Ahmadinejad's compliance with International Law. The Iranian leader has invited the inspection of a second facility, saying Obama will regret his former statements.

The US, France and UK accused Tehran of deception after it admitted to the existence of the facility on Monday.
Iran says the uranium enrichment plant, near the city of Qom, is in line with UN regulations.

It maintains it wants atomic power only for the production of electricity.

But the revelations have raised tension ahead of next Thursday's talks in Geneva between Iran and six global powers negotiating over Tehran's atomic programme.
