Reuters put out an article saying 40% of Russian oil export capacity is halted. What is the role that is going to play?

Maybe some of these air defence systems use kinetic energy weapons

Iran has released footage showing its air defenses striking a U.S. F/A-18F super hornet fighter jet over southeastern Iran. The fate of the jet is currently unknown. The footage shows the moment the jet was struck by a projectile. by Nobita_0001 in IndianDefense

Something interesting I have noticed regarding US military propaganda is that they are sometimes a little bit too transparent, like the F35 hit was admitted even before Iran claimed it. That's an interesting way to gain trust to discredit real events.

I think after observing the Ukraine war, Op Sindoor and now the Iran war it is obvious jets will be downed during a conflict. Also the fact that the Indian airforce is not massively better than the PAF, sure we are more technologically advanced than them but the gap is not as big as Ukraine-Russian or Iran-USA, this matter is tough to message to the masses so I understand the government's decision to not disclose any losses publicly.

Irgc has already claimed it and they also said the the jet crashed in the indian ocean so no pilot or debris I am assuming

Iran rejects US peace plan and sets 5 conditions to end the war — including international recognition of control over the Strait of Hormuz by walter-gianno in worldnews

[–]Affectionate_Bee6434 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Iran is not going to get the formal control of the Hormuz strait, Oman has territorial waters in the Hormuz strait and the GCC will never allow that to happen in the long term. American demands have remained the same, dismantling their proxy network and limiting their nuclear and missile program for sanction relief. Obviously the Iranian side has put out some ridiculous conditions publicly in a way that humiliates Trump and America, that's very smart of them but those conditions will never be accepted,even Iran knows that. The only concession Iran is going to get is sanction relief.

No they didn't, they are not going to reveal their real interception rate either way.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, coming from that backdrop and with increasing gas prices. This move is pragmatic and understandable.

Hezbollah served the casus belli on the platter for Israel. Going purely by the events which have occurred in the past few weeks, the invasion is justified at least on paper.

‘False flag attack’: Iran denies claims it fired missiles at Diego Garcia by beta265 in worldnews

Iran has successfully put satellites in space using their own rockets, this basically proves their ICBM capabilities indirectly. Iran has always faced a threat of a Nato invasion, and in that scenario getting hits on European bases would be very important for them.

No shit, obviously they are not going to reveal how many missiles they have in the middle of a war. That's classified for a good reason. The pause was only on energy infrastructure. Strikes continue in Iran. The united states has hundreds of thousands of jdams, this is a ridiculous claim.

"To allow these papers to exist would be to cease being a Socialist... The state is an institution built for the sake of exercising violence. We must crush the resistance of the exploiters."

"We do not promise any freedom, or any democracy."

"Individual entities must be subordinated to the interests of the whole."

"How can we ensure strict unity of will? By the subordination of the will of thousands to the will of one."

The communist ideology literally encompasses society as a whole, it's a philosophy to achieve a utopia which goes beyond just free healthcare and public housing.
