This Day in History: , Bobby Kennedy Is Assassinated.
June 5, 1969.
Senator Kennedy was shot at
the Ambassador Hotel in LA,
after making a brief victory
speech to a crowd of supporters.
Considered by many to be the
only hope in unifying a deeply divided nation,
he had just won the California presidential primary.
22-year-old Sirhan Sirhan
fired several rounds at Kennedy
at close range as he was exiting
the hotel through the kitchen.
Kennedy was pronounced dead the next day.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been
gunned down just months earlier.
Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death.
He spent the rest of his life in prison
after California outlawed the death penalty.
Richard Nixon was elected to his
first term as President of the United States
later that year

UN Nuclear Watchdog , Clashes With Iran for Failing , to Cooperate With Inspectors.
'The Guardian' reports that the West may be teetering on the edge of a renewed confrontation with Tehran over Iran's nuclear program.
The news comes after the United Nations' nuclear watchdog voted to censure Iran for repeatedly failing to cooperate with U.N. inspectors. .
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
vote came after the United States dropped its
objection to the censure, joining European nations.
EU nations had urged the Biden administration to alter
its stance on the matter, claiming that the integrity
of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty was in jeopardy. .
The U.S. has since called for a long-term strategy to be
developed to deal with Iran's nuclear program, stressing
that the terms of the original 2015 deal expire next year.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPoA) originally saw Western economic
sanctions lifted in exchange for strong
controls over Iran's nuclear program.
However, 'The Guardian' reports that Tehran has
since gradually restricted access for U.N. inspectors,
while also vastly boosting its stock of enriched uranium. .
