據福克斯新聞報道，美國高級官員表示，美國總統特朗普週四與國家安全團隊舉行會議，討論是否恢復對伊朗的軍事行動。白宮於週三和週四均舉行了相關會議。會議上，有官員提及，11月9日中東地區正值新月夜（No Moon），屆時夜空幾乎沒有月光，這一條件有利於開展軍事行動。一名美國官員稱，美國中央司令部正在完成相關準備工作，以應對可能恢復對伊朗大規模軍事行動的情況，但尚未收到華盛頓方面的新指令。

The Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued measures to promote high-quality private investment, saying it will relax admission thresholds for the defense science and technology industry. The measures streamline one-stop services and joint-review procedures and support private firms in obtaining military-industry access qualifications provided they meet legal, security and confidentiality requirements. They encourage private investment under the Guidance Catalogue for Social Investment in Defense Science and Technology (Open category, 2010 edition); projects that meet the catalogue will face no cap on private capital share. Sichuan will also promote qualified private firms to orderly, compliant expansion into complete weapon systems and high-end key subsystems.
