China 'Deeply Concerned' After Ally Iran Loses Top Terror Leaders to Israel Strikes

The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement defending "Iran’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity."

"China and Iran signed an unprecedented 25-year “comprehensive strategic partnership” agreement in 2021, covering a host of economic and military sectors. It notably included business in the oil industry and resulted in a $400-billion commitment by China to invest in the Iranian economy.

China is believed to be one of Iran’s top oil customers and a key partner in avoiding international sanctions on the regime aimed at curtailing its illicit nuclear activities. In May, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a series of sanctions on Chinese and Iranian companies in response to ongoing sanctions violations.

“Today’s action underscores our continued focus on intensifying pressure on every aspect of Iran’s oil trade, which the regime uses to fund its dangerous and destabilizing activities,” Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said at the time. “The United States will continue targeting this primary source of revenue, so long as the regime continues its support for terrorism and proliferation of deadly weapons.”

The Jersey Pike Fuel Terminal, then owned by Southern Facilities Oil, Inc, exploded on Sept.25, 1972, creating a huge inferno that left three people dead. The smoke and flames were so intense the nearby Chattanooga airport had to be shut down until the fire could be brought under control.

Little F-16s have a big honking motor.

Yep. On sorties like these where every drop of fuel matters, it’s just such a substantial outlay to get off the ground.

Wonder how much fuel you could save launching a heavy load-out F-16 if you had a ground based EM catapult to get it up to speed.
