In London, five horses from the Royal Cavalry Regiment broke free during training in Belgravia, causing chaos on the streets. The horses, riderless and galloping, led to accidents including one hitting a car and another colliding with a tour bus on Buckingham Palace Street. Eyewitnesses described a scene of panic and one injured horse. The London Ambulance Service confirmed four people were hospitalized due to the incident. With assistance from bystanders, the horses were eventually corralled and taken for veterinary care.
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.
