Apparently in the opening hours, perhaps the very first strikes... which may explain why the attack happened during the day instead of night as is often typical (night often furthers the US technological advantage).

I picture in my head the old ayatollah emerging from his bunker for a late breakfast only to be blown to smithereens...

Would also explain why the Iranian response seems so haphazard and ill-conceived... if reporting is to be believed the conflict essentially opened with their government's decapitation.

May this end up bringing the peace the Iranians deserve.
