After he made the 2 week announcement later that day he amended
it with something along the lines of 2 weeks is the maximum but
I might do something sooner.
Now the question is will Iran activate sleeper cells in Europe
and the US to retaliate?
"There is “a real concern” that Iran could activate “sleeper
cells” within the US and Europe to retaliate for the US strikes
on its nuclear facilities, former US Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo said. "
"Two military analysts have said Iran could resort to
“asymmetric” measures — such as terrorism or cyberattacks — to
retaliate against the United States because Israeli attacks have
reduced Iran’s military capabilities. "
The satellite images on CNN are interesting, the bunker busting
bombs don't leave a huge mark above the surface, there are just
some craters where the bombs entered the ground, and people in
nearby towns say they slept through the bombing, suppose it
makes sense the bunker busters don't explode until well
underground.
Here is the time line, the B-2 bombers that went west were
decoys, while the others went east, 18 hour flight.
Midnight ET: The operation began overnight Friday into Saturday
morning, Caine said at a Pentagon news conference. As B-2
bombers launched from the US, some headed west as a decoy while
the rest “proceeded quietly to the east with minimal
communications throughout the 18-hour flight.”
Around 5 p.m. ET: Caine said a US submarine “launched more than
two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles against key
surface infrastructure targets” at the Isfahan nuclear site in
Iran.
"As the B-2s entered Iranian airspace, the US “employed several
deception tactics, including decoys, as the fourth- and
fifth-generation aircraft pushed out in front of the strike
package at high altitude and high speed, sweeping in front of
the package for enemy fighters and surface-to-air missile
threats,” Caine said. "
Around 6:40 p.m. ET: The lead B-2 bomber launched two massive
“bunker-buster” bombs at Fordow nuclear site, Caine said, and
the “remaining bombers then hit their targets.”
Flight back to US: The US military then “began its return home,”
Caine said, noting that no shots were fired by Iran at the US on
the way in or out.

Iran reportedly moves to close Strait of Hormuz after US
attacks.
HTML https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5362973-iran-approves-closing-strait-of-hormuz/
"The Iranian Parliament has approved a measure to close the
Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil choke point, after the
United States bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, according to
Iranian state media on Sunday."
20% of the world’s daily oil flows through the strait. $1
billion US in oil could be blocked per day.
If Iran is closing the strait, expect gas prices to climb, how
high who knows.

Qatar temporarily suspends air traffic due to regional security
concerns.
"“In line with the State of Qatar’s commitment to the safety of
citizens, residents, and visitors, the competent authorities
announce the temporary suspension of air traffic in the
country’s airspace,” the Qatari Foreign Ministry said in a
statement. “This is part of a set of precautionary measures
taken based on developments in the region,” it said. "
Qatar’s airspace shutdown coincides with Iran’s threats to
retaliate against the United States, following US strikes on its
nuclear facilities over the weekend.
US Embassy in Qatar has issued a warning for US Citizens in the
gulf region to shelter in place. UK has issued the same warning
to UK Citizens in the region.
