Will Trump's "Statement" be Verbal or Military?

Following Iran's admitted missile strikes of this evening, which they telecast on their state TV, President Trump indicated an intention to "make a statement" on Wednesday.

In other news earlier in the day, the 82nd Airborne was conspicuously deployed to the theatre of operations. The U.S. Airborne divisions are among the most expensive to deploy, and, while the current administration is not easy to predict, deployment of these divisions has typically foreshadowed major U.S. offensive operations.

It is thus unclear what to expect tomorrow, as between some sort of speechifying by Trump and initiation of actual, full-scale war with Iran. Hopefully, it will just be some sort of oratory, but we will likely find out before noon, and the young soldiers boarding their transports may well have known what they were talking about. I think I will stop to fill my gas tank on the way to work.
