The statement indicated that Iran does not want the United States and Israel to use this as an opportunity to exacerbate tensions and suspicions among regional countries. Furthermore, Iran emphasized that it has no hostile relations with its neighbors and maintains that the only way to achieve lasting regional security is for regional countries to strengthen dialogue and cooperation and jointly maintain regional stability in the absence of external military presence and interference.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating a potential insider trading case involving the prediction market platform Kalshi. An employee allegedly responsible for operating President Trump's teleprompter is accused of placing bets on related prediction event contracts. Reports indicate that this individual may have used their prior access to information about Trump's public speeches to bet on whether Trump's statements would be released or contain specific statements on the Kalshi platform. The CFTC is currently investigating whether the transactions involved the use of non-public information and whether they violated prediction market trading rules. This investigation has once again raised market concerns about the risks of insider trading in prediction markets. With the rapid growth of trading volume on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, prediction contracts involving political, economic, and public events are increasingly coming under scrutiny from regulators.
