US President Donald Trump said the American military carried out new limited strikes on Iran on Friday, targeting an Iranian air defence system. Iranian state media reported two explosions in the Suza area of Qeshm Island, located in a crucial oil-shipment waterway. Trump described the military action as “minor.”

Dorz Cheung, a 34-year-old former Wang Fuk Court resident, doubts that new oversight bodies will prevent another disaster after the deadly inferno in Hong Kong's Tai Po district, warning that systemic reforms to shoddy building maintenance and bid-rigging could fail without proper enforcement.

The American Enterprise Institute and the Institute for War Studies issued a joint report warning that the CCP may be conducting unannounced large-scale military exercises to simulate encirclement and isolation of Taiwan. The scale exceeds last year's circum-Taiwan military exercise and mobilizes troops from three coastal theaters in the east, north and south, aiming to weaken Taiwanese people's confidence in defense capabilities and the willingness of the United States to assist.

The U.S. military said on the 6th that the State Department's "Bounty for Justice" program offers rewards of up to $20 million and may assist clue providers to relocate in order to solicit information on Iran's nuclear program. Trump reiterated Iran's intention to end the war through an agreement and said the United States was negotiating with Iran and that Iran was "very eager to make a deal."
