Odaily Planet Daily reports that Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee, speaking to the media before attending the Executive Council meeting, was asked about the suspension of the basketball betting tax. He stated that the Civil Rights and Youth Development Bureau needs to conduct regular reviews and wants to manage risks before continuing to implement the basketball betting tax policy, which he believes is appropriate. Lee emphasized that the suspension is not solely due to gambling, but also related to cryptocurrencies. The Hong Kong government has seen a significant increase in illegal gambling "prediction markets," which is related to the ability to bet through cryptocurrencies; therefore, the policy should not be blindly pushed forward.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Brian Clark, director of defense concepts at the Hudson Institute in Washington, stated, "Trump has expressed his aversion to the Iranian leadership for years, and he seems to have been seeking a legacy move that could permanently change Iran, making it at least a 'neutral or even more friendly country to the US.' Therefore, from this perspective, it's not a new goal he's suddenly pursuing. Both the US and Israeli leadership believe that now might be the time to finally and completely subdue the Iranian regime, as it is currently in a passive position. But this may reflect a lack of historical foundation and experience among the US and Israeli leadership, because Iran has never been a country whose existing leadership structure can be easily overthrown."
