brittain has always been an organizing force in europe. it was the british government that took the lead making the marshal plan work in organizing the coalition that became natury. brittain took a while to enter the community, but once it joined in 1973, it became perhaps the most influential member. what is often forgotten in all of the talk of the european union's rules and regulations is that its central project for decades was the creation of a single market. harmonizing taxes, eliminating tariffs, eliminating barriers. that vision was urged more aggressively by brittain's free market prime minister margaret thatcher. washington's former ambassador explains that brittain was always america's closest ally on substantive issues within europe. he writes, with brexit, the united states would lose a major supporter on a range of important trade and regulatory issues where the uk's more free market approach mirrored ours more closely than most eu states. sanctions again iran, russia and other countries, on data privacy and anti-trust matter

is brittain and gibraltar are essentially asking for proxies. why do they believe that? well, the acting spanish foreign minister said the british and gibraltar authorities have interdicted this vessel and the request of the united states. so that's one. the iranians are saying contrary to what they say, they believe it was on its way to a syrian oil refinery, that's why they impounded it. the iranians seem to believe that the ship was imponded because it's containing oil. they're calling it an act of piracy. even a british ship should be ceased in this same manner. at this point as you have the same tensions over the youth of the deal. we at least had a standoff about this vessel. just a couple of days ago the supreme court here gave the authorities here another 14 days. there's a small vessel going in front of the tanker. that's one of the patrol vessels. the trolling vessel making sure it doesn't beimean that. right now they think the united states is strong enough to do it. >> 10:41 a.m. in gibraltar. nic robertson, terrific reporting for us

foreign minister says if they break the deal, brittain is, quote, out of it as well. iran claims it has not violated anything. good morning, nick. >> reporter: dave, the important thing to remember is the deal signed in 2015 was about stopping iran getting a nuclear weapon. all the other things that iran does were not part of that deal but that was the reason the trump administration disliked it so much. they wanted to change iran's behavior. the technicalities of the reason why it's beginning to crumble here. the first violation was caused by the u.s. who reimposed the sanctions because they didn't like the deal at all. for 60 weeks iran said it held out. yesterday the iaea, the nuclear inspectors said that it exceeded the limits on very likely enriched part of uranium it's allowed to have. 3.67% enrichment. it got over 300 kilograms or 660 pounds. entirely symbolic move. one that gives it no real lead or assistance. the nuclear program is entirely peaceful. it is the first time iran has violated that nuclear deal itself. why is it doing now? well, it basically wants

. >> you've noted in your reporting that brittain has felt uncharacteristically left out of the loop on this when it comes to the u.s. moves on iran. given that, we saw a major move this weekend. it was expected, but it's very significant. and that is that iran stepped up its level of uranium enrichment above that 3.67% mark to an unspecified number. they didn't say they're going to enrich 5%, et cetera. so it leaves a number of hugely critical outstanding questions. >> yeah, this is their second move to purposefully and intentionally violate the iran nuclear deal and they've said they're going to keep doing this every 60 days until europe pressures the united states to give them some sort of sanctions relief. now, it's unclear what the europeans are going to be able to do with this. there is a european foreign minister meeting coming up this month where they're discussing this. the europeans have tried to put in place a new mechanism by which other companies and countries can do business with iran and circumvent the sanctions. iran is saying that's too little, too late. you've got t
