On August 24th, it was reported that some Hong Kong banks have initiated a fund source declaration process for some existing mainland investment clients, setting deadlines such as August 20th (failure to submit may result in suspension of investment services) and September 12th (failure to submit may result in termination of investment services). Previously, at the request of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, some banks had already begun requiring newly opened mainland accounts to confirm that the source of funds for investors was from legitimate overseas channels. This new fund source confirmation process targets existing mainland investor accounts, attracting attention and discussion. It is understood that some licensed Hong Kong institutions, including HSBC Hong Kong and branches of Chinese banks in Hong Kong, have indeed taken such measures recently, but primarily targeting long-term inactive accounts.On August 24, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae criticized Washingtons economic policies toward Iran, calling them "a clear example of economic terrorism" aimed at punishing a nation that insists on defending its sovereignty and independence. He reiterated, "Imposing a naval blockade on Iran is considered an act of aggression, and we have warned that any action that cooperates with the illegal actions of the United States will have serious consequences." "Iran will never stand idly by in the face of such actions."On August 24, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated that Iran would utilize all bilateral capabilities to counter US economic sanctions, adding that Washington continues to implement this failed policy against Tehran. He said, "Washingtons insistence on using these failed methods will yield no results other than demonstrating US hostility towards the Iranian people, because they are well aware that the direct consequences of these sanctions ultimately fall on ordinary citizens." Baghae emphasized that sanctions and threats to restrict trade relations with other countries violate the fundamental principles of free trade and respect for national sovereignty. He said, "This illegal practice should serve as a wake-up call to the international community, as the excessive and illegal actions of the United States in international relations have even provoked protests from its close allies."Hungarian Prime Minister Majol: A Hungarian Griffin fighter jet crashed near the town of Solnok, but the pilot successfully ejected.On August 24th, the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) reported the following changes in warehouse receipts for various commodities: 1.
