Tehran's announcement of the decision to exceed the uranium enrichment limit of 300 kg and to further scale back on its compliance with the nuclear deal (JCPOA), other countries warn and advise against it.

The spokesperson for Prime Minister May said: “We have been clear about our concern at Iranian plans to reduce compliance with the JCPOA. Should Iran cease meeting its nuclear commitments, we would then look at all options available to us.”

The spokesperson for the German government also urged Iran to remain committed to the JCPOA.

Stef Blok, the foreign minister of Netherland also said: “It’s very important to keep on verifying through the international atomic agency whether Iran is still fulfilling the criteria,” he said. “As long as Iran is fulfilling these criteria, we should stick to this deal.”

The spokesperson for Kremlin said that Moscow has not received any information regarding a violation of JCPOA by Iran.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel also said on Monday that if Iran follows up on its threat and violates the JCPOA, the international community must use the previously determined sanction mechanisms in response. He added: “Israel will not allow Iran’s regime to have nuclear weapons.”

France, one of the signatories of the JCPOA, is yet to respond to these new developments.

According to Reuters, a U.S A National Security Council spokesman said on Monday that Iran’s move was “only possible because the horrible nuclear deal left their capabilities intact,” and “The regime’s nuclear blackmail must be met with increased international pressure.”

Fifty days ago Iran issued an ultimatum to the European signatories of the JCPOA, giving them 60 days to comply with the terms of the deal, otherwise, Iran would “gradually” scale back on its compliance to the deal.
