Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran

The captain should have sought a neutral port to be interned. IDK where he was going with the ship.
If you were wondering where those videos of F-35s being "targeted" by "Iranian ADS" were originating from...
Optical guidance(IR, Laser, TV Cam) is not entirely immune to ECM. Tradition stuff like RF jamming and Sat spoofing doesn't work but there is a specific subset of ECM that is used to defeat optical guidance such referred to as optical counter measure. (look up pockels effect, might find it interesting)
The MEA has put out a clarification. An entire day has passed since the video was first circulated.
US submarine sinks Iranian warship as Pentagon says it will strike 'deeper into Iran'
Sri Lankan authorities say 80 bodies have so far been found after the Iris Dena went down. Meanwhile, Israel says Iran has launched a fresh batch of missiles.

An American submarine, presumably a Virginia-class submarine, sank the Iranian frigate Dena, a Mowj-class submarine, in the Indian Ocean as it returned from a naval parade in India. The frigate, reportedly a destroyer, belongs to the Iranian Navy. The 1,500-ton Dena, launched in 2015, is technical information available on the screen and in the video description. The Iranian frigate Dena was sunk by a presumably American 533-mm Mk48 ADCAP torpedo fired from a Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine off the coast of Sri Lanka.

We are gonna get involved in this war if it drags for more than a week,
The LNG form qatar has been shutdown, the oils are shut down,
Our glorious govt we're more concerned on ladali yojana rather than increasing the reserves,
The fertilizers has been shutdown,
The Indian fertilizers companies will be shutdown if we don't get LNG, indian companies are already cutting down the LNG supply,
There's zaid & kharif season Will be come around,
We are the biggest loser if the conflict drags,
Indian Navy have to protect the Indian trading ships, if not we are doomed,
The prices going to soar up both Oil & gas,

Boots on the ground will be viable once they destabilise Iranian Balochistan and Kurdistan. The entry points will be Iraq and Pakistan.
GoI may have felt the same thing. I am increasingly of the opinion that Modi went to Israel to set the terms & conditions of our involvement.
People get what they want. People want freebees, so they get freebees. The Indian govt. is shortsighted because the Indian people politically rewards shortsightedness.
We are already gobbling up all floating Russian crude in the Indian ocean. Recently started spot purchase of LNG from Russia. It will get worse before it gets better. But it's not all doom & gloom.
Side effect of this conflict would be Russia making a lot of money & using that money to screw over Ukraine.
OIl/gas producing countries that need to sell their energy products to run their economy aren't the biggest losers? They are losing refineries, airports, seaports etc., not to mention lives of their citizens. Military installations are getting hit with missiles & drones daily.
We are the "biggest" losers? A bit hyperbolic, no?
Urea we can manage on our own. DAP fertilizers require raw materials from the Gulf/Arab countries, signed an agreement with Egypt last year. MOP fertilizers raw materials come from Russia & Canada, these will be unaffected.
If we can scale up LNG purchases from Russia, then DAP fertilizers is a very solvable problem. Also, if we could scale up production of the recently productionized nano-Urea then the countries overall fertilizer demand can be reduced. Over some years this may make us self-sufficient in fertilizers.
For many industries this disruption will be like COVID. Sectors/Product that GoI paid no attention to would receive support like never before. By the end of this disruption supply chains would become more resilient & self-sufficient.
This is true. IN destroyers have been roving around the region for a month now. But this is a political call & a decision needs to be made soon.
There are denials being issued by actors present within the region. Don't know how things will unfold in the following days.
