Under the guise of peace negotiations, the US and Israel launched a joint airstrike on Tehran, the Iranian capital, in a decapitation strike that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and 40 other high-ranking officials, with the aim of completely overthrowing the Iranian regime. Iran immediately established an interim committee, blocked the Strait of Hormuz, and launched a full-scale counterattack, but found itself diplomatically isolated. Amidst this double blow of natural disaster and man-made calamity, Iran's future remains uncertain, oil and gold prices have soared, and the situation in the Middle East and even globally faces severe instability.

The Oman talks between the US and Iran ended without success. Reports indicate that the US's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Ford, has entered the Mediterranean, joining the USS Lincoln already in the Arabian Sea, ready to launch a pincer attack on Iran. Israel is actively lobbying Washington to expand its "maximum pressure 2.0" campaign, attempting to force Iran into a complete compromise while it is mired in internal turmoil and economic collapse, pushing the situation to the brink of military miscalculation. Beset by internal and external difficulties, Iran faces a brutal choice between regime survival and strategic surrender.

British Prime Minister Starmer visited China for two days, accompanied by business representatives from 50 companies. I heard that the trade agreements are worth more than $100 billion. Is that considered a big deal?

The US kidnapped the Venezuelan president to New York for trial, disregarding international order. The international community upholds sovereignty and justice, condemning this hegemonic act. However, some argue that using the guise of "justice" justifies rampant robbery. With the US midterm elections approaching, how will public opinion reflect this? Trump's bluff and plans to withdraw from multiple international organizations raise the question: is he withdrawing from the world stage or becoming even more reckless?

Today is International Day of Migrants. In my talk show, "# People's Avenue Central," I discussed how immigration impacts culture and development, sharing two key themes: the challenges of Nordic welfare states and the real stories of Hong Kong people living overseas. Sweden, which has a relatively lenient approach to immigration, is now facing social pressures that have led the government to examine its capacity to accommodate immigrants. Denmark, on the other hand, is strictly controlling immigration and promoting overseas refugee processing centers, sparking integration and human rights controversies, reflecting the complex choices Europe faces in the face of the influx of immigrants. Meanwhile, in recent years, a large number of Hong Kong people have emigrated to the UK and Canada, facing challenges such as job demotion, declining income, and cultural adaptation, while also seeking educational and employment opportunities to start new chapters in their lives. The United Nations has chosen "My Story: Culture and Development" as this year's theme, reminding us that immigration is not only a national issue, but also, for individuals, a journey full of resilience and hope.

The US and Ukraine reached a consensus on "90%" in Berlin, but this mainly involves institutional arrangements such as security guarantees, military aid coordination, and reconstruction. The real obstacle is the territorial status, which cannot be technically addressed. The West attempted to stabilize the controllable 80% in Ukraine with a "like Article 5" agreement, but Kyiv insisted on not ceding territory or recognizing the aggression, while Moscow insisted on legal recognition as a prerequisite for peace, leading to a structural confrontation between the two sides.
Therefore, "90%" signifies the initial formation of a framework for the system, but does not represent a peaceful approach; the remaining 10% sovereignty issue is the core factor determining whether the agreement can be implemented. The next step will test whether the international community can build sustainable security and economic support for Ukraine without recognizing the use of force to change the borders, and will also be a stress test for the European security order.
