Secretary of State Mike Pompeo put out the following warning to Iran regarding its effort to enrich uranium, saying the rogue regime is expanding its program.

Iran’s latest expansion of its nuclear program will lead to further isolation and sanctions. Nations should restore the longstanding standard of no enrichment for Iran’s nuclear program. Iran’s regime, armed with nuclear weapons, would pose an even greater danger to the world. — Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) July 7, 2019

This comes as Iran has been boasting about breaching set limits on uranium enrichment and is threatening to go even further.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling for sanctions against Iran because of the breach.

Iran has violated its solemn promise under the UN Security Council not to enrich uranium beyond a certain level. The enrichment of uranium is made for one reason and one reason only: It’s for the creation of atomic bombs. pic.twitter.com/sLSJ8K9uCN — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) July 7, 2019
