Prosecutors follow up and supervise the demolition of illegal buildings on the roof.

The Zhongjia Decoration City in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, is quite lively because of its dual-purpose residence and dense personnel. However, 38 merchants have successively built illegal buildings on the roofs of six buildings for hotel management, goods storage and office work without the permission of the construction project planning.

Since April 2020, the procuratorial organ of Taizhou City has set up a public interest litigation case-handling team to file a case for review, and joined forces with law enforcement departments such as Taizhou City Administration Bureau and Fire Rescue Detachment to promote the demolition of 11,095 square meters of illegal buildings. Now, standing under the Zhongjia Decoration City, you can no longer see the illegal buildings on the roof, and the merchants downstairs don’t have to worry about the fire caused by illegal buildings.

In March 2021, the case was selected as a "typical case of public interest litigation in the field of safety production" jointly issued by the Supreme Inspection and Emergency Management Department.

In the event of a fire, the consequences are unimaginable.

One day in March, 2020, Jingtai Road Sub-district Office in Hailing District, Taizhou City received an anonymous complaint phone: "There are a lot of flammable materials such as paint piled up on the roof of Zhongjia Decoration City, and our residents living downstairs are on tenterhooks every day. Come and take care of it, or the consequences will be unimaginable in the event of a fire!" Liu Lusheng, director of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau of Jingtai Road Street, said that this is not the first time they have received such a complaint call.

It is reported that Zhongjia Decoration City covers an area of about 295 mu and is located in the core area of the eastern market group in Hailing District, Taizhou City. The new and old National Highway 328 meet here, three kilometers away from Taizhou Railway Station, and the traffic is very convenient. Since its operation in March 2010, more than 600 merchants have settled in. Zhongjia Decoration City is used for both commercial and residential purposes. Some merchants privately build colored steel houses on the roof to stack building materials and goods, including some inflammable and explosive materials. At first, illegal construction was only sporadic, but over time, it reached more than 10 thousand square meters. The common people have great opinions on this.

"Prosecutor Chen, the problem of disorderly construction on the roof of Zhongjia Decoration City has not been solved until now. The security risks are serious and the opinions of the masses are great. I know that the procuratorate can file a public interest lawsuit. Can you come forward to coordinate and urge the administrative law enforcement agencies to pay attention to this problem?" On the afternoon of March 28th, 2020, Chen Hongjun, the person in charge of public interest litigation in Hailing District Procuratorate, received a phone call from Xiao Li, a street worker in Jingtai Road. Chen Hongjun has long heard that the problem of disorderly building on the roof of Zhongjia Decoration City is a "long-standing problem". Chen Hongjun asked Xiao Li about the situation in detail. Xiao Li said helplessly that the street office had no law enforcement power and could only communicate with merchants as much as possible, but it still did not see rectification.

Chen Hongjun immediately reported the clue to the procurator-general Shen Yujun. Subsequently, under the guidance of street worker Xiao Wu, Chen Hongjun and his colleagues conducted a preliminary investigation on the illegal construction of the decoration city. When climbing the roof from the safe passage, because the passage is full of wooden boards, aluminum alloy window frames and other sundries, everyone can only stand on tiptoe sideways and walk up the stairs carefully.

Climbing on the roof, the chaotic illegal buildings caught everyone’s eye. "You see, this is built by the following owners." Xiao Wu pointed to an illegal building on the left and told Chen Hongjun. Through the window of the illegal building, Chen Hongjun found that it was full of paint buckets.

"This hotel has built a whole floor on the roof, all of which are decorated into guest rooms. It is completely invisible that it is an illegal building." Chen Hongjun followed Xiao Wu’s direction and saw that the top of the opposite building, No.39, was also covered with illegal buildings, almost equal to the area of the sixth floor, which was very unsightly.

Xiao Wu took Chen Hongjun and others to the sixth floor of a unit in Building 24, and happened to meet Manager Zhang of the construction company. Xiao Wu greeted Manager Zhang, and then a group of people went to the roof. Here is another office of this company, with offices, reception rooms, etc., which are completely consistent with the downstairs decoration style.

"Mr. Zhang, you have stamped such a large area on it. Have you been approved by the relevant departments?" Chen Hongjun asked.

"No, no, how can this be approved?" Manager Zhang’s answer is also frank.

Chen Hongjun asked, "Why did you add this layer?"

"When it was built, it was because the roof was not well waterproof, and there was always water seeping down when it rained." Manager Zhang replied.

"Then why not make a waterproof again? There are great security risks in illegal construction. I hope you will take the lead in dismantling it. " Chen Hongjun further said.

"I really have no choice but to dismantle it. Others will dismantle it, but I will definitely not take the lead." Manager Zhang gave his own set of rhetoric.

After a preliminary investigation, Chen Hongjun made a basic judgment: some owners of Zhongjia Decoration City actually built illegal buildings on the roof for their own benefit, which not only seriously affected the appearance of the city, but also had major fire hazards.

Go door to door and find out the crux of the problem.

According to Article 64 of the Urban and Rural Planning Law, if a construction project planning permit is not obtained or is not carried out in accordance with the provisions of the construction project planning permit, the competent department of urban and rural planning of the local people’s government at or above the county level shall order it to stop construction. Obviously, it is impossible for the top building of Zhongjia Decoration City to obtain a planning permit for the construction project, which is bound to be illegal construction. However, the supervision of illegal construction does not belong to the "4+1" field of public interest litigation. On what grounds should procuratorial organs intervene and promote the demolition of illegal buildings?

After Chen Hongjun reported the initial investigation to the leaders of the hospital, Hailing District Procuratorate thought that it was necessary to deeply analyze the impact of illegal buildings on public safety and solve the problem of how to choose between personal self-interest and public interest. On April 1st, 2020, according to the analysis and research, the institute formulated a public interest litigation investigation plan: collecting relevant evidence to confirm that the roof construction of Zhongjia Decoration City did not obtain the construction project planning permit, confirming the illegality of its construction, and at the same time conducting household surveys to identify potential safety hazards and collect fixed evidence. In order to solve professional problems, it is necessary to hire a third-party professional organization to conduct simultaneous demonstration.

According to the investigation plan, Liu Junhe, assistant procurator, brought back the architectural archives of Zhongjia Decoration City from Taizhou Urban Construction Archives with the notice of obtaining evidence. Nearly 1,000 scanned building files were read page by page by Chen Hongjun, Liu Jun and others, and the project establishment, permission, construction and acceptance of Zhongjia Decoration City were comprehensively reviewed. It was confirmed that the buildings on the top of Buildings 22, 24, 25, 38, 39 and 40 of this decoration city were not within the scope of project establishment and permission, and it was undisputed that they were illegal buildings.

On April 6, Chen Hongjun led the public interest litigation case-handling team to formally enter Zhongjia Decoration City, and went to Zhongjia Decoration City with Jingtai Road Street and third-party organizations to carry out house-to-house investigation on illegal buildings.

"Look, this is a foam sandwich panel, which is flammable and combustible building materials. Rock wool board should be used as a flame retardant building material. " "This distribution box is bare and unobstructed, and the wires are aging without sleeves, which is also a great safety hazard."……Experts from third-party organizations carefully search for potential safety hazards in illegal buildings.

The case-handling team fixed the security risks pointed out by experts one by one and recorded them one by one. At the same time, another team is also carrying out information verification and related data collection of illegal owners. "I built the house upstairs, how do you people’s procuratorate also tube somebody else to build a house? Is it too wide? " The owner is quite dissatisfied with the "sudden arrival" of the prosecutor. "You are illegally building and have an impact on social welfare. We have to take care of it." After understanding the public interest litigation function of the prosecutor, the owner copied the relevant information and handed it over.

For four whole days, by verifying the owner’s information, construction time, area, building materials, use and other materials of illegal construction, the case-handling team conducted on-site investigation on the safety hazards such as fire protection, electricity and lightning protection in various illegal constructions, and basically found out the illegal construction and the existing public safety hazards: 38 owners built illegal buildings on the roofs of six buildings without the permission of the construction project planning, resulting in a series of safety hazards such as flammable building materials, blocked safety passages and incomplete fire-fighting facilities. The third party organization also issued a safety hazard inspection report, and found that there were 52 safety hazards in the above illegal construction, such as flammable foam sandwich panel building materials, no fire-fighting facilities, and damaged lightning protection grounding network.

Procuratorial suggestions condense the joint efforts of public welfare protection

Because the case involved the performance of duties by higher administrative organs, Hailing District Procuratorate always kept close contact with Taizhou Procuratorate, reported the progress of the work at any time, and submitted the case to the Municipal Procuratorate for handling after the investigation. On July 31, 2020, Taizhou City Procuratorate delivered pre-litigation procuratorial suggestions to Taizhou City Administration Bureau and Fire Rescue Detachment respectively, suggesting that they deal with illegal construction and fire safety violations on the roof of Zhongjia Decoration City respectively according to law.

Sun Guiyin, director of Taizhou City Administration Bureau, called Hailing District Government Office, Urban Management Bureau, Lightning Protection Office and other departments to hold a special rectification meeting on illegal construction of Sino-Jia Decoration City the day after receiving the procuratorial suggestions, and invited the procuratorial organs to send personnel to participate and discuss the rectification countermeasures. Because the demolition of illegal construction involves the property interests of many merchants, the procuratorial organ took the initiative to organize the Hailing District Urban Management Bureau, the fire rescue brigade and the street office to hold a joint meeting to unify the understanding of the problems that may be encountered in the remediation process and make detailed preparations to ensure the smooth and orderly progress of the demolition work. In August, Taizhou Urban Management Bureau made an administrative penalty decision on 24 illegal construction owners who had not been punished according to law, and ordered them to dismantle illegal construction within a time limit.

After receiving the procuratorial suggestions, Taizhou Fire Brigade asked Hailing District Fire Rescue Brigade to cooperate with it according to law. The District Fire Rescue Brigade quickly formulated an action plan and deployed it for implementation, and arranged business backbones to cooperate with Hailing District Urban Management Bureau, Housing and Construction Bureau and other departments to strengthen business guidance to Jingtai Road Street and police stations under its jurisdiction, and timely discuss and dispatch hidden dangers for rectification. At the same time, the Fire Rescue Brigade, together with relevant departments, issued the Notice of Market Fire Safety, which was not only distributed door to door, but also posted at the entrance and exit of Zhongjia Decoration City and other eye-catching locations, giving fire safety tips to all merchants in Decoration City, pointing out the hazards of various fire hazards and fire safety violations, and organizing fire safety knowledge training to urge them to implement the main responsibility of fire safety. In addition, the District Fire Rescue Brigade also stepped up supervision and law enforcement, inspected 38 merchants with illegal construction problems one by one, urged and rectified 12 fire hazards, issued 12 notices of ordering correction, handled 1 temporary seizure, and sent 2 letters of advice on law enforcement.

On August 14th, Jingtai Road Sub-district took the lead in organizing a number of functional departments to participate in it. By focusing on the way of "door-to-door publicity+friendly demolition assistance+investigation and punishment according to law", the illegal construction demolition work was jointly promoted, and waterproof construction was carried out at the demolition site, which solved the problem of roof seepage raised by merchants. Chen Hongjun and his colleagues followed up and supervised the demolition of illegal construction.

In Taizhou in August, the sun is like fire. At 9 o’clock in the morning, on the uncovered roof, the temperature had already soared above 30 degrees Celsius. The blue colored steel tiles were uncovered one by one, the heavy walls were smashed one by one, and the doors and windows were removed one by one. The whole removal process was basically smooth.

As of November 30, 11,095 square meters of illegal buildings on the top of the commercial and residential building of Zhongjia Decoration City were all demolished, and the fire safety hazards caused by illegal construction were completely eliminated. "If it weren’t for the persistence of the procuratorate and the joint efforts of fire protection, urban management and streets, I don’t know when the fire hazard on the roof will be eliminated." Boss Gu, who is engaged in building materials and sanitary ware business on the first floor, can’t help but sigh.

"We identified the supervision points, conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation on illegal construction and public safety hazards, and finally promoted the complete dismantling of illegal construction, fundamentally eliminated the long-standing public safety hazards, effectively prevented and curbed the occurrence of serious accidents, and the safety of people’s lives and property was effectively maintained." Chen Hongjun said with some relief.

In the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, until the 21st century, those who like listening to music or those who don’t like listening to music in the Chinese world have never heard of Teresa Teng’s name. She is really a superstar among superstars. There is no denying that Teresa Teng herself is really a good girl. She is kind, gentle, quiet and quiet. She will not tell others if she is wronged, behave herself and sing seriously. I have some contacts with her because I have a little fate with her. She is a very low-key and quiet person, however, her performance on stage and off stage is completely different.

I became attached to her in the 1980s. At that time, the World Community Chest celebrated its centenary. They wanted to hold a centenary celebration and asked me to be the artistic director. We found Teresa Teng. At that time, she had already retired from the stage, and she didn’t do much public performances. Most of the time, she lived in France or Japan. Because she is too famous, she dare not associate with Chinese, because everyone is staring at her from east to west. Every time she comes to new york, she will come to me unless she has other business; And when I go to Hong Kong, as long as she is here, I will go to find her. At that time, she was really popular in Japan. Once she told me that she was too tired and hoped to be a recording artist in the future, which meant that she would reduce her performance on the stage. Therefore, the first Chinese I arranged for her to perform in new york Radio City was the last battle of her life. I signed the Radio City performance contract in Hongkong and Teresa Teng, which was witnessed by 100 or 200 media on that day. It’s a pity that the contract was signed, the Chinese and Western Hundred People’s Orchestra was invited, the venue of Radio City was booked, and the deposit was paid. Finally, she left, and the audience’s eyes, her wishes and the efforts of our organizers were all wasted. What a pity!

The author and Teresa Teng are in Hongkong.

Teresa Teng is a good boy and a native of bad karma. When I was very young, before I was eleven or twelve, I came out to sing because of my family environment. At that time, the training was not so good, and her singing was not very moist. When she grew up, she became more mature and better. She became popular and began to be used. Some men stared at her, and she silently endured it because she didn’t need it at all. She is not a vain person. She will be happy if she eats a bowl of sparerib noodles and a small steamed bun, as long as the object at the same table is good. I remember one time she invited us to eat seafood in Aberdeen. We had a good time carefree, but she ate very simply. On the boat, she ate some porridge. Besides, she eats whatever we order, which is very picky.

Now it sounds like a fable, but people who like her might as well think about it. Did Teresa Teng live a hard life before his death? She has never bought herself a brand-name bag, and she also wears brand-name clothes, but they are all sponsored by manufacturers. Unless it’s a design she particularly likes, she won’t pursue famous brands herself. Besides, with Xiao Deng’s posture and status in those days, which famous brand can surpass her fame? She doesn’t need these. The clothes on the stage are all designed by herself or by someone. Besides, China didn’t "let some people get rich first", and Armani, Gucci, Prada and Chanel were not very popular at that time. The clothes she wears are based on the principle of good-looking, comfortable and practical. In fact, everything she wears looks good.

Teresa Teng is very strange. In the audience, she is not tall and small, but on the stage, as soon as she puts on high heels and dresses, she becomes a superstar and an unattainable person.

Teresa Teng’s only embarrassing incident happened in 1978. At that time, it was too inconvenient for her to walk around the world because of her Taiwan Province passport. She accidentally listened to a bad opinion and got a fake Indonesian passport. Her fake passport was transferred from Hong Kong, China to Taiwan Province to fly to Japan. I didn’t want to take it out. Just as Taiwan Province’s passport expired, I wanted to pass the customs for the time being, but I was found to have used a fake Indonesian passport, so I was locked up in Japan for seven days, but it was not a prison, just a women’s detention center. During her detention, she sang "A Thousand Words" for other people. After being released, she flew to France with the passport of Bellis in Central and South America, and began to live in France and Japan alternately.

At that time, Taiwan Province was not good enough for her, and the public opinion was not very good. During those days, Teresa Teng’s name basically went down slowly in Taiwan Province. Who knew that all of a sudden Xiao Deng became very popular in the mainland of the motherland, and every household was full of stories in a small town and sweet honey every night, which was not good? Taiwan Province’s military and political dignitaries and various media sent Teresa Teng back to the shrine. Alas! People, people! That’s it. Immortals, tigers, dogs. Xiao Deng was really dripping in my heart at that time, life!

In the 1980s, Teresa Teng and Longzhang Zhou were in Hongkong.

Teresa Teng can’t be talked about without mentioning Angela Mak (Angela Mak). Year after year, I saw them together for twelve years. Angela Mak herself is not ugly, but she looks like a rough Filipino man, not a girl at all. Mai is a strong woman, very kind to Deng and very protective of her. When I went to Hong Kong, whether I went to Aberdeen to eat seafood porridge or a five-star Four Seasons restaurant, Angela took care of everything, including paying for it, as long as Deng treated me. Mai is also a very influential person, a talented woman with artistic accomplishment, and a deep and low-key person. She is the director of Shaw Company’s conjoined film, in which Chen Yulian is the main character.

Teresa Teng and Angela Mak have a big house in Stanley, and they have lived there for twelve years. I don’t have much fate with Mai, because every time I meet Deng, I always mess around with her, and Mai is always unhappy around. On one occasion, Teresa Teng and we chatted happily at the dinner table and laughed. Mai took chopsticks and ordered a little at her.

Hong Kong media reported that Teresa Teng and Longzhang Zhou were in new york.

Teresa Teng also had several boyfriends, which probably made her frustrated and disappointed. The only engagement was in 1981, when she was engaged to Guo Kongcheng, the son of Guo Henian, the boss of Shangri-La Group. The giants in Hong Kong are very annoying, self-righteous and have many rules. Later, because Guo’s grandmother asked her to quit the entertainment industry, she also asked her to cut off contacts with friends in the circle, which made her unable to bear the pressure and broke off her marriage. Taiwan Province authorities, because Teresa Teng is madly in love with China, treat Xiao Deng with special courtesy. Basically, Xiao Deng loves Taiwan Province, but he is disappointed with Taiwan Province to some extent. Another point is that Teresa Teng doesn’t like the illusory and intrigued style of Taiwan Province or Hongkong film circles, and then uses concealed weapons to hurt people and climb up by hook or by crook. This made her feel bored and ridiculous. Therefore, after 1990, Deng basically settled in France, and flew to Japan every three or two months to record a CD, until she was ready to give a formal performance in new york Radio City, but she died in Thailand the next year.

As popular as Teresa Teng, millions of people adore her, love her and listen to her songs. And the result? As a result, she was in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and in a hotel, she was called the weather, and there was nowhere to go, and she died alone. Is this a big joke for life?

There are some terrible things. If a person dies, we should have basic respect and attention to him. However, Teresa Teng passed away in Chiang Mai, and the reporter knew that she had already left. Every reporter who arrived at the scene could go to the mortuary and lift the white cloth on Teresa Teng’s head to take pictures as long as he paid five dollars. How terrible and unfair is this to Teresa Teng? Is really a girl in bad karma, just in her early forties, so she died.

As for some people or the media who package a Paul who is 15 or 16 years younger than her as her boyfriend, or all kinds of stars, big and small, scramble to say that I chased Teresa Teng, or a big brother and big star boasted that Teresa Teng chased him, and so on, this is really a great insult to the dead. Before her death, she was a quiet, compromising person. After her death, she will be consumed by others and manipulated into various images that are actually not her. What can I do?

After Teresa Teng’s death, Angela Mak was removed from the world, and the whole person disappeared from the world. Mai returned the house where they lived to the Deng family. That villa was very valuable. She didn’t want anything and disappeared. I believe she must be somewhere in the world now, still thinking of Teresa Teng.

I miss Teresa Teng, too. I remember one time in Hongkong, I went into a nightclub with her and Tayu Lo, and there was a Filipino band performing on the stage. They all know Teresa Teng, and their eyes went straight at the sight of her. After a while, except for the drummer who couldn’t get up, three singers and piano players all stepped down from the stage and came to our table to sing "The Moon Represents My Heart". They asked Teresa Teng to sing again. When she was happy that day, she sang one line, then asked Tayu Lo to sing one line, and I sang another line. The three of us took turns singing. All of a sudden, all this has passed, and success or failure has turned to nothing! I love Xiao Deng, and I love Teresa Teng. That’s all right, there’s an angel beside God!

Over the weekend, the situation in the Middle East heated up sharply.

According to the latest news, the United States quickly deployed warships in place to "protect" Israeli and American troops in the region, hoping to prevent Iran from launching a "direct attack" on Israel. A US Department of Defense official revealed that the United States is sending more military units to Israel to strengthen regional deterrence and strengthen the protection of US troops.

According to the latest report of CNN, the United States has observed that Iran is moving military assets, including drones and cruise missiles, which indicates that "Iran may be preparing to attack Israeli targets from its own territory". One of the people familiar with the matter said that the United States observed that Iran had prepared as many as 100 cruise missiles.

Facing the risk of further escalation of the situation in the Middle East, the global market is becoming even more tense. Among them, the international oil price fluctuated greatly, and the global benchmark Brent crude oil once exceeded $92/barrel; Wall Street’s so-called "panic indicator" VIX index rose to its highest level since last October.

The United States quickly deployed warships in place.

On April 13th, the reference news quoted the website of The Wall Street Journal as saying that the United States quickly deployed warships to "protect" Israeli and American troops in the region, hoping to prevent Iran from launching a "direct attack" on Israel.

Earlier, a person familiar with the matter warned about the time and place where Iran might launch an attack.

It is reported that the commander of the US Central Command, General Curilla, discussed the possible Iranian attack with Israeli Defense Minister galante in Israel on the 12th.

According to the Israeli Defense Ministry statement, galante said: "We are prepared to defend ourselves on the ground and in the air, and work closely with our partners. We know how to respond."

U.S. officials said that the U.S. action included the redeployment of two destroyers, one of which was already in the area and the other was redeployed to the area. American officials also said that at least one of them was equipped with the Aegis missile defense system.

According to the US Army Times website reported on April 12, US officials confirmed on April 12 that in the face of reports that Iran may launch an attack on Israel, the Ministry of National Defense is mobilizing more troops and equipment to bases in the Middle East.

A Pentagon official said that these transfers are aimed at "strengthening regional deterrence and improving the protection capability of the US military". The Pentagon did not disclose information about the number of troops or the specific assets transferred to the area.

Earlier in the day, White House national security spokesman John Kirby also refused to disclose the specific details of the changes in the US military posture in the region, but said that government officials are paying close attention to the situation.

Kirby said that the United States has taken concrete actions to "ensure" that the US troops stationed in the region "make proper preparations" in the event of an attack.

At present, the United States has deployed about 40,000 military personnel in the Middle East. Another 1,000 people are going to the area to help build a floating pier near the coast of Gaza.

According to reports, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that he would retaliate against Israel’s air strike in Damascus on April 1, which killed at least 13 people, including a senior Iranian officer.

In addition, the State Council is also taking urgent action to issue safety warnings to all government employees and their families of the US Embassy in Jerusalem.

The Israeli military said that if the Iranian side retaliates against the air strikes on Iranian consular offices in Syria, the Israeli army will fight back. On the afternoon of the 12th, US President Biden warned Iran "not" to take action, and emphasized the US security commitment to Israel, saying that Iran would not succeed.

In the current tense situation, Hezbollah armed forces in Lebanon took the lead. On the evening of April 12, local time, rocket warnings sounded several times in northern Israel, and the "Iron Dome" defense system intercepted several times. According to Iranian media, "at least 50 rockets" were launched from southern Lebanon to northeastern Israel.

The Israeli army statement said, "About 40 rockets were fired from Lebanon to northern Israel, some were intercepted, and the rest landed in an open area. There are no reports of casualties." The Israeli army also claimed to have shot down two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) loaded with explosives launched by Hezbollah in Lebanon at Israel.

Iran warning

On April 13th, the World Wide Web quoted the American news website "Axios" as saying that three American officials told the media that Iran sent the following message to Biden’s government through several Arab countries this week: If the United States intervenes in the conflict between Israel and Iran, the US troops stationed in the region will be hit.

A US Department of Defense official said that the United States is sending more military units to Israel to strengthen regional deterrence and strengthen the protection of US troops.

According to the report, a senior American official said that the United States insisted that it did not participate in the air strike. In this regard, the message conveyed by the Iranian side is, "Whoever attacks us, we will attack him, so don’t conflict with us, and we won’t conflict with you."

An American official told Axios that from the information received through several Arab countries, it is not clear whether Iran is threatening to attack the US military if it helps Israel intercept Iranian missiles, or whether it will only attack the US military if it participates in Israel’s retaliatory actions.

According to the US official, the overall assessment of the US intelligence community is that Iran will only attack the US military if the United States and Israel jointly fight back.

"prepared 100 missiles"

On April 13th, local time, according to the latest news from CNN, people familiar with American intelligence revealed that the United States observed that Iran was moving military assets, including drones and cruise missiles, which indicated that "Iran may be preparing to attack Israeli targets from its own territory".

According to the report, it is uncertain whether Iran really launched the first round of attacks from its own territory, or whether it is deliberately posing in an attempt to prevent Israel or the United States from launching a possible counterattack against its territory.

One of the people familiar with the matter said that the United States observed that Iran had prepared as many as 100 cruise missiles.

The report also said that a person familiar with the matter said that Iran hoped that their attack on Israel would look "significant" in retaliation for Israel’s attack on the consulate of the Iranian Embassy in Syria last week. But at the same time, Tehran also wants to avoid being involved in direct wars with Israel and the United States. That’s why American intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran may also use agents to launch the first attack.

CNN also said in another report that a senior government official and a person familiar with the matter revealed that the United States currently expects Iran to attack multiple targets in Israel, and Iranian agents may also participate in the attack. The targets may include targets in Israel and around the region.

The global market is tense

With the warming of risk aversion, the price of gold has hit record highs recently, which makes Wall Street "doubt life".

Among them, spot gold rose by 1.3% this week, that is, it rose by $30.5 per ounce. At one point this week, it rose to $2,431.53, and then it fell back. The latest price was $2,344.25, with a cumulative increase of 14% this year.

At the same time, the fluctuation of international oil prices is also intensifying. Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, once broke through 92 US dollars/barrel and jumped to the highest level since October last year. Since the beginning of this year, oil prices have soared by 19%.

The rising tension in the Middle East has disrupted the oil market. Ed Yardeni, the founder of Yardeni Research, a well-known wall street leader, pointed out that oil prices may reach $100 under the influence of this situation, and the situation in the Middle East has also weakened the upward momentum of US stocks.

The U.S. stock market also suffered a selling tide overnight. At the close, the Dow fell by 1.24% and fell below 38,000 points for the first time since January 24. The S&P 500 index fell by 1.46%, the biggest drop since Federal Reserve Chairman Powell’s speech on January 31 hit the expected interest rate cut in March. The Nasdaq fell 1.62%, the biggest drop since March 5.

As the tension between Israel and Iran worsens, Yardeni Research analysts say that if there is a real conflict between Israel and Iran, this may be the top of the US stock market.

It is worth mentioning that Wall Street’s so-called "panic indicator" VIX index rose to its highest level since October last year, and analysts warned that the market has always underestimated geopolitical risks.
