Is the Israeli military about to attack Iran’s military and energy facilities? No one has an answer to this question. The Israeli army has said several times that it has fully prepared for an attack on Iran.
Iran has warned that there is no red line anymore, meaning anything can happen at any time, anything can be done.
US officials say they believe the Israeli military could target Iran’s military and energy facilities and infrastructure at any time. According to a BC News report, Israel has chosen its options in response to Iran’s October 1 missile attack.
Israel has not yet made it clear when it will retaliate and what its intensity will be, but so far there has been no indication that the Israeli army will target nuclear facilities in Iran.
The state-controlled Xinhua news agency cites a statement Xi made when he visited a brigade of the People’s Liberation Army’s rocket force on Thursday.
Strategic weapons are used to weaken an enemy’s ability to wage war and consist, among other things, of long-range missiles that can be equipped with nuclear weapons.
There are also tactical nuclear weapons that have been developed to carry out smaller and more precise attacks, but which can still be very destructive.
In recent years, China has carried out a major nuclear armament, especially when it comes to strategic weapons used for deterrence. The country has also modernized its nuclear weapons in response to the fact that the US has developed better missile defense and surveillance, as well as strengthened its alliances in Asia.
In September, China conducted a rare test of a long-range ballistic missile, which landed in the Pacific Ocean.
The Chinese military has also undergone a major purge in the past year, where several generals have been dismissed as a result of corruption allegations, including the chief of the missile forces.
In June, Xi said there are major political, ideological and disciplinary problems in the Chinese military.
Only the United States has used nuclear weapons in war, which happened when atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the eve of World War II.

Let’s go to the Europatanque of the Alpes-Maritimes! This weekend of Saturday October 19 and Sunday October 20, the stars of pétanque are getting on their high horses. The meeting takes place at the Cagnes-sur-Mer Hippodrome, with the best players of the moment. This Saturday morning, the group games did not give rise to any major surprises. All the favorites are there this afternoon, from 128e of final. We take stock of the progress of the teams to watch.
The French team without blinking
With the label of the French team, the Blues are inevitably scrutinized this weekend. This Europétanque is already a major step in their road to the world championships in Dijon next December. Winner of the precision shooting competition the day beforefacing the specialist Diego Rizzi, Henri Lacroix is in good shape. With Dylan Rocher and Jean “Moineau” Feltain, the Tricolores continue their journey. Now, they face Alexandre D’Angelo’s triplet at the end of the group stage. For his part, Mickaël Bonetto finds a Lacroix facing him, but not Henri. Ambroise Lacroix, with Frédéric Moutte and Nicolas Chamand, faces the flagship CASE team from Nice, with Basil Jackel and Joseph Gimenez.
Favorites and outsiders in place
Alongside Thierry Grandet and Yohan Cousin, Michel Loy also continues his Riviera adventure. Same thing for Jean-Michel Puccinelli, with Pierre Maurel and Pierre Lucchesi. Nothing special to report for all the favorites on the board at the moment. Ludovic Montoro, Mayron Baudino and Romain Begoin continue. Same thing for Diego Rizzi, Moïse Helfrick and Paolo Giraudo. The Kévins, Philipson and Malbec, continue to move forward with Jean-Pierre Subrenat. The trio of neo-Monegasque Christophe Sevilla is there, facing that of Sébastien Djaghrif, from Mouans-Sartoux. Didier Cailloce, Christophe Sevilla, Elie Winterstein… So many names of outsiders that could be found in the final packaging.
