Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip have continued for 276 days, causing extensive destruction. Louise Wateridge, senior communications officer for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), shared images of the devastation in Khan Younis. She reported, “As you pass through Khan Younis today, everywhere you look is in ruins. The remaining buildings are hanging by a thread. There are huge craters on the rubble-filled roads, there is little hope for those left here.”

Wateridge further noted that “houses, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure have turned into rubble.” According to UNRWA, around 190 facilities have been affected by the attacks, with at least 520 Palestinians who were sheltering in these facilities having lost their lives.

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.
