President Biden properly stated: "Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing."

Previously the admin had stated: "We will respond at times and places of our choosing." The time was several hours ago. The targets were, to quote Zola from the Captain America First Avenger film, "EVVVERYYY WHEEEERRRR!"  :RockOn:

SecDef Austin confirms, more strike packages set up and being processed.

I do love it when the US military flexes and reminds everyone why they're at least a generation behind.
80+ targets hit within 30 minutes.  LOL
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I saw a Zeihan youtube where he claimed a strike on karg island oil terminal would destroy iran's whole economy in 1 hour.  Only reason we don't do it is because China will flip out cause most of it's oil comes from there.

Wow, two reasons to do it.

The moment China goes after Taiwan, that terminal is going away. (Also per Zeihan if I recall correctly.) But even if it doesn't, it doesn't matter, because (along with the British) we control alllllllllll the ocean lanes between China and practically everywhere else including Iran.

China gets the Wonka meme ("nothing sir good day"), so their only hope is for us to be too distracted by other things to feasibly care about Taiwan. Otherwise, making active war on Taiwan is a death sentence for the Chinese government sooner rather than (demographically) later.

As I recall, Zeihan suspects Xi and his cronies might actually go after Taiwan for precisely that reason: so that when they lose, and lose hard, they can blame 'the West' for all of China's internal suffering and hope to pull together some government support that way in the face of collapse.

I read that the last time there was that much firepower was back in 2003.

i guesstimate its only a question of the moonphase and weather now
and if the CINC suffered a Bogey in his morning golf round or not, of course 

usually in the past I would have thought new moon darkness is the day, but today with no land operations involved and mostly standoff attacks, maybe full moon lighting is better for all the optical sensors in the final approach stage to secure the 1-2m CEP?   

3/3 full moon, next new moon 3/19 (a little far stretched after the actual ultimatum)

so its on

9:30am Time on Target local time Teheran  is unusual for a start of an operation.
so it started with a decapitation strike against the higher executives and administration. And we learned that Iran's airdefence is so week that day time is not a problem at all

Apparently, a Kuwaiti FA-18 shot down the 3 F-15Es using AIM9s.  That explains why there weren't any fatalities.
