A tragic incident occurred at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport when a person was caught in the engine of a Royal Dutch Airlines flight preparing to depart for Billund, Denmark. The airline confirmed the fatality, stating, “There was a fatal incident at Schiphol when a person was caught in a running aircraft engine. Unfortunately, the individual passed away. We are in communication with the passengers and employees who witnessed the incident.” Police evacuated the passengers and launched an investigation. The identity of the deceased has not been disclosed, and it remains unclear whether the person was an airport employee or a passenger.
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.
