A US federal court in Boston has ruled to extradite Timur Cihantimur and his mother, Eylem Tok, to Türkiye. Cihantimur, who caused the death of Oğuz Murat Aci and injured four others in Istanbul while driving without a license, fled to the US with his mother. The court decision has been sent to the US State Department for final approval.

Judge Donald Cabell rejected their appeals and ruled that Cihantimur be extradited for negligent homicide, while Tok faces charges of protecting a criminal and tampering with evidence. The US government must submit an extradition certificate within seven days before the State Department makes its final decision. Both will remain in custody until the process is completed.

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.
