NEWS OF THE DAY

1 Iran sanctions: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, said Monday that his country will neither go to war nor enter into negotiations with the United States as the Trump administration restores sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. In remarks carried by state television, Khamenei said “along with sanctions, Americans have recently raised two more options, war and talks . ... War will not happen and we will not enter talks.” President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal in May, and last week the U.S. began restoring sanctions, exacerbating a financial crisis in Iran. Trump has suggested he would be willing to hold talks with Iranian leaders, but Khamenei said the U.S. has proven it cannot be trusted.

2 Britain politics: Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, facing allegations of enabling anti-Semitism, has acknowledged that he was present at a wreath-laying to Palestinians allegedly linked to the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. But the Labor Party leader said, “I don’t think I was actually involved” in laying the wreath. The Daily Mail published photos of Corbyn holding a wreath in a Tunis cemetery in 2014, near what the newspaper says are graves of Black September members. Corbyn has previously said he was commemorating the victims of a 1985 air attack on Palestinian Liberation Organization offices in Tunis. On Monday, he acknowledged a wreath had also been laid to “those that were killed in Paris in 1992.” An alleged Munich attack plotter was shot dead in Paris that year.

3 Spain injuries: Hundreds of people were injured in northwestern Spain when a pier collapsed during an oceanside music festival in the city of Vigo, authorities said Monday. The pier collapsed around midnight Sunday, throwing people into the water below and on top of each other. Divers and other rescue workers were still searching Monday morning for anyone who might have been trapped below the broken boards, but no fatalities were reported. More than 300 people were injured in the collapse. An investigation is under way to determine the cause of the accident.

4 Refugee crisis: The European Commission said Monday that it is in contact with a number of member states to identify a country willing to take 141 migrants picked up by a rescue ship, after the groups operating the ship appealed for a safe port and Italy said Britain should take responsibility. Italy continues to refuse port to humanitarian rescue ships, and the country’s transport minister, Danilo Toninelli, said on Twitter that Britain should take responsibility for the migrants because the ship sails under the flag of the British territory of Gibraltar. Toninelli said the rescue was coordinated by Libyan authorities and that the ship was in waters near Malta.

5 Minority rights: China insisted Monday there is no “arbitrary detention” and there are no “re-education centers” in its western Xinjiang region, rejecting concerns raised by a U.N. human rights committee that more than 1 million ethnic Uighurs may be being held in camps. A member of the committee last week cited estimates that over 1 million people in China from the country’s Uighur and other Muslim minorities are being held in “counter-extremism centers” and another 2 million have been forced into “re-education camps.” China said authorities in Xinjiang have cracked down on “violent terrorist activities,” while convicted criminals are provided with skills to reintegrate themselves into society at “vocational education and employment training centers.”
