Floods caused by heavy rain in different states of Germany flooded houses and roads. A person died as a result of being exposed to electric shock while draining flood water from the basement of his house near the city of Würzburg in Bavaria.
Red Cross announced that 60 aid points were established and 1 helicopter participated in aid efforts.
Nearly 300 relief operations were carried out in the Ahrweiler region of Rhineland-Palatinate, where 136 people died due to floods in 2021.
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.
