Thai authorities reported that 2 more construction workers were found in the rubble of the 30-story under-construction building that collapsed in the Chatuchak area of Bangkok due to two major earthquakes in neighboring Myanmar, bringing the death toll to 3.

Search and rescue efforts are ongoing for around 40 missing workers.

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who declared the capital an emergency zone, stated that damage had occurred in many areas and warned that more tremors could occur within 24 hours.

The 7.7 and 7.4 magnitude earthquakes that occurred in the Sagaing city of Myanmar at around 12:50 and 12:18 local time were also felt in China, India, Vietnam and Laos.

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.
