The UN nuclear watchdog on Monday acknowledged Iran broke through a limit placed on its stockpile of low-enriched uranium. An increasing stockpile and higher enrichment closes the estimated one-year window Tehran would need to produce enough material for a nuclear bomb. EU Ministers \u2018Extremely Concerned\u2019 by Iranian Regime\u2019s Breach of Nuclear Deal The foreign ministers of Germany, France and Britain are \u201cextremely concerned\u201d by Tehran\u2019s announcement that it has amassed more low-enriched uranium than permitted under its 2015 deal, they said on Tuesday. \u201cThe International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed this information,\u201d they said in a joint statement with the European Union\u2019s High Representative, adding: \u201cOur commitment to the nuclear deal depends on full compliance by Iran.\u201d \u201cWe regret this decision by Iran, which calls into question an essential instrument of nuclear non-proliferation,\u201d they said. \u201cWe urge Iran to reverse this step and to refrain from further measures that undermine the nuclear deal.\u201d France Warns Iran Against Further Breaches of Nuclear Deal French President Emmanuel Macron called on the Iranian regime Tuesday to &quot;immediately&quot; reduce its enriched uranium reserves. In a statement, Macron said he had &quot;noted with concern&quot; Tehran&#039;s overstepping of the limit set in the 2015 deal with world powers and called on Iran &quot;to immediately reverse this overshoot and abstain from any other measure that would undermine its nuclear obligations&quot;. Saudi Oil Minister: Iranian Regime Is Threatening Global Energy Supply Saudi Arabia oil minister Khalid Al Falih on Tuesday called on the international community to stand up to Tehran\u2019s threats to global energy security. The Saudi official told CNN that his country has ample spare capacity to offset Iranian barrels sidelined by US sanctions, but the bigger risk comes from potential conflict in the region. &quot;I am concerned though about the security of oil supplies from threats from state and non-state actors that we&#039;ve seen,&quot; Al Falih told CNN. He cited recent attacks on oil tankers and pipelines blamed on the Iranian regime as well as drone attacks from militias that are agents of Tehran. Newt Gingrich Says Iranian Regime Is &#039;Very Close to Breaking&#039; Under Tough Sanctions: &#039;This Is a Very Shaky Regime&#039; Former US House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday that he believes the Iranian regime is &quot;shaky&quot; and &quot;very close to breaking&quot; under the weight of tough economic sanctions. &quot;The sanctions are really biting and, month by month, their economy is getting worse and people are getting more and more unhappy. I think they&#039;re lashing out desperately, trying to somehow change the circumstance,&quot; he said on Fox News,&quot; adding that the regime may want the U.S. to attack so they can use &quot;nationalism&quot; to rally the people in defense of the homeland.
