During a religious ceremony held in Thanjavur city of Tamil Nadu state in southern India, 11 people were killed and 15 others were injured after they were electrocuted. According to the statement made by the police, 11 people, including 2 children, were electrocuted and 15 people were injured. Officials said some of the injured were in critical condition and the death toll could rise.

Police said in a statement that the electricity was cut off at the high voltage line in the region during religious ceremonies, but the electricity was not cut off at the ceremony held yesterday because the temple car was not high enough to reach the high voltage line. However, it was stated that the height of the temple carriage increased due to the decorations, and therefore it came into contact with the high voltage line and was electrocuted.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and promised to help the families of the deceased about 2,600 dollars.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
