Chinese President Xi Jinping conveyed to former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou on Wednesday that external interference would not impede the "family reunion" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He emphasised that all issues are open for discussion. Since the Republic of China government retreated to Taiwan in 1949 following a civil war loss to Mao Zedong's communists, no sitting Taiwanese leader has visited China. However, Ma, who served as president from 2008 to 2016, broke this pattern last year, marking the first visit by a former Taiwanese leader to China. This visit, Ma's second, occurs amid heightened military tensions in the region.

Explosions were reportedly heard over an Iranian city, with sources attributing them to an Israeli attack. However, Tehran has downplayed the incident, stating that it has no plans for retaliation. This response appears to be aimed at preventing a broader conflict in the region. An Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, was quoted by the Times of Israel as saying, "The foreign source of the incident has not been confirmed. We have not received any external attack, and the discussion leans more towards infiltration than attack."
