Retirees, civil servants and workers, whose purchasing power has decreased due to the increase in inflation, took to the streets at 170 points across France. Protesters in the capital Paris marched from the historic Bastille Square to the Ministry of Finance in demonstrations organized by trade unions. Demanding the government to increase the minimum wage and social benefits, the demonstrators often chanted “Down with capitalism” while calling for President Emmanuel Macron to resign. Teachers and high school students, who have been on strike for two weeks, also supported the demonstration.

The demonstrators specifically called for an increase in the minimum wage, pensions and child benefit with the help of government-issued house rent.

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.
