  1. #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth & #JointChiefs of Staff Chair Gen #DanCaine have begun a briefing at the #Pentagon, to discuss the #US #war with #Iran.

    Yesterday, #Trump declined to say if the “ceasefire” between the US & Iran remains in place, after both sides fired shots in the #StraitOfHormuz.

    Iran has attacked US forces >10 times since the ceasefire went into effect, but that is “below the threshold” for the US to restart combat ops, Gen Dan Caine said Tues.

  4. The Lovely War

    Donald Trump threatens Iran the way he once threatened a recalcitrant steak: same wounded, flinty, infant-king fury. A working homage to Martin Amis -- on the Epstein flights, the six-billion-dollar goon squad, the taunting of a proud civilisation, and a nine-year-old girl in Minab waiting for the water that is her birthright. The infant-king has other plans.

  9. Meanwhile, Iran's Gulf neighbours, including #Kuwait, the #UAE & #Bahrain, were still reporting incoming attacks by Iranian missiles & drones.

    Speaking alongside US #Defense secretary Pete #Hegseth, #JointChiefs of Staff Air Force General #DanCaine said the #US had met its military objectves in #Iran. [no one ever said what those objectives were but still this is BS. If it was to reopen the StraitOfHormuz — well, it was open before the first attack]

  13. RE: fairdinkum.one/@John/116173240

    And yet: General #DanCaine, chairman of the #JointChiefsofStaff, expressed his concerns at a #WhiteHouse meeting with #Trump & his top aides, cautioning that any major operation against #Iran will face challenges because the U.S. munitions stockpile has been significantly depleted by #Washington’s ongoing defence of #Israel & support for #Ukraine. Caine’s remarks at the White House meeting have not been previously reported.

  15. #Trump finally entered the East Room of the White House 45 minutes late to give his first public remarks about the war he’s launched on #Iran. His chief of staff, #SusieWiles & #JointChiefs Chair Gen #DanCaine are there.

    Trump said the #US #military “continues to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran.”

  16. The Chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff Gen #DanCaine said the #US #war against #Iran would not consist of a “single, overnight operation” & added that more US #casualties should be expected.

    “This is not a single, overnight operation,” Caine said at the #Pentagon Monday. “The #military objectives that #CENTCOM & the Joint Force have been tasked with will take some time to achieve, & in some cases, will be difficult & gritty work.”

  17. #Trump gave the #Iran operation order on Friday afternoon, Gen #Caine says

    General #DanCaine offered a detailed timeline of the operation, including the message CENTCOM received from Trump as he gave the final go-ahead.

    “At 15:38, 3:38pm, on Friday, February 27, the United States Central Command, through the Secretary of War, received the final go from President Trump,” Caine said.

    “The president directed, & I quote, ‘Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck. Close.’”

  18. Today’s rare #Pentagon #news conference is the first in several months

    As #Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth & #JointChiefs Chair Gen #DanCaine brief reporters today, it is not only mark the first time top members of the #Trump admin speak publicly about “Operation Epic Fury,” but also the first time officials have spoken formally on camera at the Pentagon in several months.

  19. Meanwhile, a second person familiar with the situation said that the Chair of the #JointChiefsOfStaff, Gen #DanCaine, was also at freaking #MarALago Saturday.

    The #Pentagon didn’t answer questions about US Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth’s whereabouts for the strike [probably drunk somewhere on a lost weekend].

  20. How should a #military commander respond if they determine they have received an #unlawful order?

    Request to retire — & refrain from resigning in protest, which could be seen as a political act, or picking a fight to get fired.

    That was the previously unreported guidance that Brig. Gen. Eric Widmar, the top lawyer for the #JointChiefsOfStaff, gave to the country’s top general, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen #DanCaine, in November….

  21. “His answer: We have to study it,” Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said of Hegseth’s response. “Well, in my view, they’ve studied it long enough…. Congress ought to be able to see it.”

    The closed-door discussion also included Secy of #State #MarcoRubio; #JohnRatcliffe, the #CIA director; & Gen #DanCaine, the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff. It centered on the 22 known boat strikes in the #Caribbean & eastern #Pacific that the #Trump admin has carried out since early Sept….

  22. Now we know why #Trump called them suckers & losers, it was if they thought they could serve under his reign without blowback.

  23. The call, announced Monday by the office of #JointChiefs Chairman Gen #DanCaine, occurred after WaPo reported Friday that #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill the entire crew of a vessel thought to be ferrying narcotics in the Caribbean Sea, the first of >20 such strikes directed by the #Trump admin.

  25. #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth & Gen #DanCaine, #JointChiefs of Staff chair, offered on Thurs the #Trump admin’s most detailed descriptions yet of the planning & execution of #US airstrikes on #Iran #nuclear facilities.

    But Hegseth & Caine offered no new assessments of the state of Iran’s nuclear program or the damage to the sites. Both men referred those questions to the nation’s spy agencies.

  26. The #Trump admin said that its attack on 3 #Iran #nuclear facilities was not about toppling the country’s government.

    “This mission was not and has not been about regime change,” #Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth said at a Sunday news briefing.

    Air Force Gen. #DanCaine, the chairman of the #JointChiefs of Staff, stressed that the goal of “Operation Midnight Hammer” had destroyed the nuclear sites in #Fordow, #Natanz & #Isfahan.

  27. The #Senate confirmed early Fri Lt Gen #DanCaine, the fmr National Guardsman & fighter pilot, to be chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff.

    Gen Caine is replacing another Air Force fighter pilot, four-star Gen #CQBrown, whom #Trump abruptly fired in Feb.

    While Dems expressed concerns about the rash of firings at the #Pentagon, Gen Caine garnered little opposition because the majority viewed him as the best option, given the circumstances.
