At the Democratic Party National Convention in Chicago, Arizona Democratic Party Delegate Ajlan Kurdoğlu expressed optimism about the future of US-Türkiye relations, stating, “As long as Donald Trump is not elected, I think relations will get much better, trade will increase, and relations will progress positively.”

Kurdoğlu, a Biden delegate, emphasized his support for Kamala Harris, saying, “We nominated Kamala Harris, and we are hopeful she will be elected.” He also addressed the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, noting that it is a deeply concerning issue, particularly among Muslim communities in Arizona. He expressed hope for a ceasefire, which he believes could positively influence Harris’ chances in the election if achieved before voting.

Iran Warns Europe Over Nuclear Dispute

On Jun 6, 2025

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.
