How will the US respond to Iran increasing its enrichment levels?

With more bluster but also with the hope that they can eventually get the Iranians to the table.

Will the new Greek PM have an easier time than his predecessor?

Well sure, in the sense that the Greek economy is now doing better than it was a couple of years ago. They've already had suffered from massive austerity.
