Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Bengal71]

why would a stealth fighter engage ground targets with a gun? It's not how they train or fight. Strafing ground targets with fast air is perilous and is rarely done unless it is in support of ground troops in contact with the enemy and at risk of being overrun. Besides the fake F-35 in the video was in a shallow slow climb completely oblivious to the inbound missile. Considering the sensor suite on the F-35 that it is highly unlikely. The system automatically tracks missiles with full 360 deg of coverage and automatically dispenses counter measures. Is it possible to launch a shoulder fired IR guided missile from an open window of a high rise in an urban setting ...and hit the aircraft of course. But flying so close to hostile terrain with plenty of cover for pop up threats is in itself not permitted fast air isn't cleared to fly so low under those circumstances.

I don't know why they would do it, I didn't say it, @AZ_HighCountry said it.

IAF type actitvities if true

Hezb needs a new soundtrack for its videos. It's been using the same tunes for 3 years now and is getting a bit tiresome.

How about no soundtrack? Sound of war and weapons is better.

F-35's EODAS/MAWS works to detect any missile launch especially IR the "simply didn't detect it" doesn't cut it, you know why..? because the video is fake. The Houthi missile that shot down the Saudi F-15 was an IR missile and the F-15 MAWS was able to detect it which is why you see it deploy flares. Even Russian SU-24 over Syria was able to deploy (automatically) flares when it was targeted by two manpads.

Not everything works as intended all the time!!! There is military risk with all systems which is what happened here..

I noticed this yesterday when it was pointed out on social media. It looked like a search and rescue pattern, but I assumed because it was during Iran’s missile and drone attacking it might have been a helicopter on drone duty.

So, if this is the F-35 crash, it happened yesterday not today.

Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s atmosphere permanently. Once released, it rises through the troposphere, passes the stratosphere, and leaves the planet. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be synthesised at industrial scale. It accumulates over billions of years in the same geological reservoirs as natural gas. And one third of the world’s supply just went offline because Iran hit the facility that extracts it.

Qatar produced roughly 63 million cubic metres of helium in 2025, accounting for 30 to 36 percent of global supply from a total of approximately 190 million cubic metres. QatarEnergy’s three large helium purification plants at Ras Laffan form the world’s biggest helium production base. When LNG production stopped after Iranian drone strikes on March 2 and the subsequent missile damage on March 19, helium extraction stopped automatically because helium is recovered during natural gas liquefaction. You cannot produce helium without producing LNG. The byproduct dies with the primary product.

Spot helium prices have roughly doubled since the crisis began. Industry consultants warn that prolonged disruption could push contract prices toward $2,000 per thousand cubic feet. A major industrial gas supplier has already begun assessing customers a helium surcharge. Phil Kornbluth, the most cited helium market consultant, stated the assessment directly: the world cannot compensate for the loss of a third of its helium supply.

South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. SK Hynix and Samsung operate high-volume fabs producing the DRAM and high-bandwidth memory that power every AI accelerator, every data centre GPU, and every cloud computing cluster on Earth. Helium cools silicon wafers during fabrication. It serves as a carrier gas in deposition and etching tools. It enables leak detection in vacuum systems. Modern extreme ultraviolet lithography requires helium-cooled environments for precise temperature control. Without helium, the fabrication process degrades or stops.

SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Two to three months is not a buffer. It is a countdown. If Ras Laffan remains offline beyond that window, South Korean memory production faces rationing. TSMC in Taiwan is somewhat more diversified but still uses Qatar-linked supply chains. The entire AI hardware supply chain, from HBM3E memory stacks to advanced logic chips, sits inside helium-dependent ecosystems.

Beyond semiconductors, helium cools the superconducting magnets in more than 14,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. It pressurises rocket fuel tanks and purges propulsion systems in aerospace. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider depends on helium cryogenic systems. There is no substitute for helium in any of these applications at industrial scale.

The United States and Qatar together account for more than 70 percent of global production. The US federal helium reserve and private suppliers offer partial relief, but global prices and spot availability are still governed by Qatar’s market share. Japan’s Iwatani has drawn on US reserves. Canada and the Rockies are seeing renewed investor interest. None of this replaces 63 million cubic metres in weeks.

The war hit uranium first. Then oil. Then nitrogen. Then water. Then plastic. Then medicine. Then sulfur. Now helium. Eight layers. Each one deeper. Each one closer to the infrastructure that sustains modern civilisation. The chip that processes your data, the magnet that scans your body, and the rocket that launches your satellite all depend on an atom that leaves the planet when you lose it.

BT saying it was 358, another rather serious source I saw said Ghaem from Thunder SHORAD. Could very well Azarakhsh HOBS from Majid AD-08

For those who may want to see the culprits

Yes, but Pakistan might be next. Wouldn't it be good to show a collective force? small short term pain for long term gains. I really don't see how that's not doable i really don't.

I seriously doubt it, for the fact that our pain threshold for that kind of attack would be very low and we might be forced to go Nuclear much quicker than others can anticipate and hence nobody would want to risk that.

Deploy the NBs

The "Wrath" will reach Pakistan anyway. Only that it will be far worse then, compared to what it might be now. Its just that none of us want to acknowledge the obvious that is staring us in the face.

Reminds me of the time when Hezbollah were getting decimated and they kept asking Iran for help. Unfortunately, at that time Iran was too concerned about getting dragged into the war. Now it has reached Iran, regardless.

Right now Iran has the capacity to push the zionists back. Yes, US might retaliate a little, but not much, as things are already out of control for them. But if Iran falls, then things will be far worse for Pakistan anyway.

All of us want to live in peace but the zionists are everything that is not peace. Yes its difficult, yes it can have bad consequences, yes, the idea of not joining in seems convenient. But we are all knowingly trading temporary peace for permanent disaster. I hope the decision makes in Pakistan have this in mind and are at least doing whatever is possible behind the scenes to support Iran.

I do not agree with that 1 bit.

Unlike ALL the countries that have been attacked, and devastated, Pakistan is a Nuclear Power which can annihilate the world order, raze cities to the ground in a blink of an eye and cause irreparable damage to the entire World. Our over 100 Nuclear Warheads and MIRV Capable Missiles are not just for show and tell. But that is for a war imposed on us!

On the other hand, if we voluntarily enter the Iranian war, especially when Saudi might be looking at us for military support, we would end up not only battered by Israel and US, which would also mean annihilation of our Air Force through superior US+Israeli fighter Jets, we would get severely damaged due to our much smaller region and concentration in cities.

Everything that have militarily is for India, except Nuclear Weapons. We simply cannot fight the US+Israel, especially not for someone else. Even Russia and China are sitting this out, how can Pakistan be expected to go to war for Iran?
