A car crashed into the entrance of a nursing home in Rishon Lezion, central Israel, on Monday, injuring four people. A 60-year-old city resident was driving with a plaster cast on his right leg and was attempting to control the gas and brake pedals with his left foot, but he lost control, Israeli sources stated. A 60-year-old woman was injured moderately, and three others, including an 8-month-old baby, were injured lightly. The driver was initially trapped in the vehicle and rescued by emergency personnel, local sources added.
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.
