Economic and trade relations between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Iran have recently seen significant progress. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Andrey Slepnev, Minister in Charge of Trade for the Eurasian Economic Commission, stated that the EAEU is set to formally sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with Iran. This move is viewed as a major diplomatic milestone for cooperation in energy, logistics, and infrastructure within the Eurasian region, aiming to further integrate the Eurasian economic landscape by reducing tariffs and eliminating trade barriers, which holds long-term strategic significance for transnational trade in the area.

Regarding social issues, the problem of fraud targeting the elderly in Taiwan has also drawn attention. According to statistics from the National Police Agency, the total number of fraud victims nationwide reached 179,507 between July 2025 and June 2026, with 13,411 victims aged 65 and older. During a council interpellation, Kaohsiung City Councilor Lin Chih-hung pointed out that the total number of elderly victims across the six special municipalities reached 10,133, accounting for 7.68% of all fraud cases in those areas. Data shows that New Taipei City has the highest number of elderly victims among the six municipalities, at 2,803; in terms of the proportion of elderly victims, Taipei City ranks first at 12.05%, while Kaohsiung City ranks third.

Regarding the Eurasian economic and Taiwan anti-fraud issues, there are different dimensions of discourse across various sectors. In terms of Eurasian trade, although officials from both sides have indicated that an agreement is imminent, specific implementation details, tariff reduction lists, and the effective date have not yet been officially released in full text, and the market is still awaiting further official documentation.

As for the issue of anti-fraud in Taiwan, the data presented by Councilor Lin Chih-hung focuses primarily on the proportion and number of elderly victims and emphasizes the threat posed by AI deepfake technology, suggesting that the Kaohsiung City Government should deploy relevant defense mechanisms in advance. However, regarding the actual effectiveness of AI technology in the field of anti-fraud and the necessary regulatory support, police units and the technology industry are still in the stages of technical development and policy discussion, and a unified defense standard has not yet been formed.

For the Eurasian region, signing a free trade agreement with Iran will have a direct impact on the transnational logistics and energy transport industries. As Iran serves as a vital link between the Eurasian continent and the Middle East, this agreement is expected to promote the stability of energy supplies and enhance the synergistic effects of infrastructure construction among EAEU member states. For Taiwanese society, the aging trend of fraud victims poses a challenge to public safety policy. In particular, AI deepfake technology has rendered the traditional concept of "seeing is believing" obsolete, forcing local governments to incorporate digital literacy education and AI detection technology into the core of elderly care policies to reduce the risk of victimization for the elderly in the digital environment.

It is worth noting that although the cooperation between the EAEU and Iran is seen as an economic boon, there are differing perspectives. Some analyses point out that due to the international geopolitical environment, the implementation of Iran's trade agreement may face pressure from external sanctions, and whether its economic benefits can be fully realized remains to be seen. Similarly, regarding Taiwan's anti-fraud issue, while incorporating AI technology is a defensive trend, over-reliance on technical defenses may overlook structural social factors, such as the vulnerability of psychological defenses caused by social isolation among the elderly. Therefore, anti-fraud strategies should not be limited to the technical level but must also combine community care with comprehensive legal protections.

Future observation points include the specific changes in trade volume after the EAEU and Iran sign the agreement, and whether this agreement will trigger follow-up or diplomatic reactions from other regional economies. Regarding social issues in Taiwan, it is necessary to continue monitoring whether Kaohsiung City and other counties and cities will propose specific budget allocations and technical implementation schedules for AI deepfake anti-fraud measures. Furthermore, whether the National Police Agency will adjust its nationwide anti-fraud advocacy strategy after analyzing cross-county fraud data—particularly the effectiveness of preventive education for the elderly—will be an important indicator to watch over the next year.

In addition, the application of data visualization tools such as Apache ECharts in relevant statistical reports also helps the government present fraud hotspots more accurately, thereby improving the transparency and decision-making efficiency of public policy.
