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

[VCheng]

It is not merely a function of what countries deem to be valid or in their interests or otherwise.

Neutrality during conflict is defined well enough. If nations are not adhering to neutrality, then it is quite simply foolish and amateurish of them to ask why missiles are landing on them.

Only fools are asking such questions. The adults in the room, on all sides, know what the stakes are, and what is really happening. No one is crazy, and no one is under any false impressions.

It's called Indian ocean, Indians ports exist all over that region they could have responded for rescue mission

While Srilankan waters is mentioned in stories but overall Indian ships could have responded

The Indian Ocean extends from South Africa to Australia. India's territorial waters extend to 12 nautical miles from its coast. The ship sank about 500 km away from the nearest Indian port.

 

[SteppeWolff]

It will not come to that at all. Such fears are overblown. This will all settle down after the cessation of open hostilties.

Iran's baluchustan is a hotbed of miscreants, and we share a massive region with Iran. I wouldn't call it overblown.

This is the Indian EEZ - anything beyond it is INTERNATIONAL WATERS.

Just because the ocean is named Indian - doesn't mean that all of it belongs to INDIA.

Sir, actually anything in the EEZ beyond the 12 nautical miles of territorial waters is also international waters. India has exclusive economic use of the EEZ, but, beyond the territorial waters zone, the EEZ is open for international shipping as long as it does not fish or try to extract oil.

Depends if they can insult Turkmenistans horses and Bellucci pants successfully.

So you're telling me Iran's island status hinges on equestrian slander and trouser etiquette?

Chump change for the US economy if I'm being brutally honest.

We waste more than that on stupid crap on a weekly basis.

UK to send more fighter jets to Qatar and the British PM admitted that UK Royal Airforce was operational in Jordan and Qatar last night.

• The UK will send four additional Typhoon fighter jets to Qatar to "strengthen defensive operations" in the country and across the region;
• UK jets were also deployed in the skies over Jordan and Qatar last night;

Please take a look at a map. It left Vishakapatnam in the Bay of Bengal on the 25th three days before the war started and was sunk outside the territorial waters of Sri Lanka off Galle in the south of Sri Lanka, about 500 km from the nearest Indian port.

It was in Vizag between Feb 17-25 for naval exercises along with ships from 50+ countries and social media accounts had widely noted its visit. It was no secret when and from where the ship left India.

No responsible official from Iran has even hinted that India was somehow responsible for the ship sinking, but some people here seem to be more loyal than the king.

Yes you are right. But it was sunk less than 40 nautical miles from indian coast. A US submarine lurking that close to your coasts and you are not aware.

Reminds me of debates, when indians used to talk that they can detect Pakistani submarines or even Chinese in all over indian ocean LMAO! I used to tell them exactly what has happened. That finding submarine is the biggest challenge in naval warfare. No matter how many aircrafts or ships you put to that task.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

Ofcourse it is. But billion dollar radars take time to build. You cannot just throw money on it. And you cannot reinstall them in Qatar and UAE rn when drones are everywhere. That means a loss of critical eyes in war.

The US is not totally blind. There is sufficient redundancy in the systems to compensate. Inconvenient yes but still operating through the backups.

 

[SteppeWolff]

We waste more than that on stupid crap on a weekly basis.

But is the AN/FPS-132 Early Warning Radar "stupid crap"? It was USA's critical early warning and comms asset in the Persian Gulf. Got blown up by a cheap drone.

No eyes now until the war stops. Cheap or not it may be.

[Opinion]
Technically since India is acting as a supply route for planes /ships which are conducting operation in Iran , I won't be surprised if those ports get hit

The chances are higher % wise compared to lets say before the conflict started

India generally had a neutral stance , it helped it in past , this incident may change things how it is viewed

Was, will from now on be know as the American Ocean.

Please take a look at a map. It was sunk about 40 nautical miles south of Galle, which is on the southern tip of SL. It would be more like 500 km from even the nearest non- military Indian port.
