A Learjet 55-type plane carrying 6 people crashed into a residential area in Philadelphia for an unknown reason yesterday evening in the US, causing a fire in several houses.
It was reported that many people in the vicinity were injured but the condition of the people on board is currently unknown.
According to local authorities, the plane took off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport at 18:06 and disappeared from radars approximately 30 seconds later at an altitude of 487 meters.
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.
