Emergency landing of American F-35 fighter jet after possible hit by Iranian fire CNN reports that a U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter jet was forced to make an emergency landing at an American base in the Middle East after coming under fire during a combat mission over Iran. According to two informed sources, this fighter was most likely damaged by Iranian fire. Tim Hawkins, spokesman for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), confirmed that this fifth-generation stealth aircraft was conducting a combat mission when it was forced to make an emergency landing. He said the aircraft landed safely and the pilot's condition is "stable," and the incident is under investigation. If confirmed, this would be the first successful instance of an American aircraft being targeted by the Islamic Republic since the beginning of the war. In this conflict, both America and Israel use F-35 fighter jets - aircraft valued at over $100 million each. Iran Desk podcast on YouTube @TheIranDesk

Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of Defense, emphasizing the continuation of this country's military operations in the war with Iran according to the objectives announced from day one, said that "today the most intense attacks against Iran will be carried out." Pete Hegseth on Thursday, March 19th, in a joint press conference with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff also announced to reporters that 120 Iranian warships have been destroyed and 11 mine-laying vessels have also been targeted. Dan Cain, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said in this press conference that American forces "advance further into Iranian territory every day" and added that this country will continue to conduct major combat operations in Iran. Pete Hegseth also said about the timing of the war's end that "there is no specific timeframe for the end of the Iran war." In another part of this briefing, General Cain announced that the United States has carried out attacks against Iran-aligned paramilitary groups in Iraq. He said AH-64 helicopters were used in this operation to suppress any threat against U.S. forces and interests in Iraq. @VahidHeadline The U.S. Secretary of War in a press conference, referring to destroying the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic, sarcastically said: Now the last job anyone in the world would want is commanding the Revolutionary Guard and Basij; a temporary job! He criticized Europe and the media, saying the world should be grateful to President Trump for protecting the world against this terrorist regime that had taken the world hostage. @VahidHeadline Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War, in Thursday March 19th's press conference, defending Operation "Epic Fury," emphasized that this conflict differs from America's previous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has "laser focus." In these remarks, criticizing media critics of Donald Trump, he said some media outlets try to downplay progress and exaggerate costs. Hegseth also said that contrary to some narratives, this conflict will not turn into an "endless war." He referred to his own experience in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, called the policies of previous U.S. administrations like Bush and Obama foolish, and said this operation is being carried out with a different approach. @VahidOOnLine Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War, said that the United States' military objectives regarding Iran remain unchanged. He said in a press conference at the Pentagon: "Our operations are precise, focused and decisive. Our objectives, exactly as determined from day one by the President with an 'America First' approach, remain exactly the same." Hegseth emphasized that these objectives include destroying missiles and launch platforms, destroying Iran's military infrastructure to prevent rebuilding military capabilities, eliminating Iran's naval force, and preventing this country from acquiring nuclear weapons. He added: "For decades, Iran has spent its resources on developing missiles, drones and underground facilities instead of its people. But we are targeting them... in a way that no army in the world is capable of doing, and the results speak to this reality." @VahidOOnLine U.S. Secretary of Defense: Families of killed American soldiers want us to finish the job @VahidHeadline The U.S. Secretary of War regarding the possibility of America providing internet for the Iranian people said we are working on this matter. He said regarding the possibility of U.S. forces withdrawing from the Middle East after eliminating the Islamic Republic threat that we don't say what we will do and our action depends on America's national interests. @VahidOOnLine General Dan Cain, who is present alongside Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon press conference, in response to a question about whether Iran, nearly three weeks into the war, still has the ability to attack energy infrastructure throughout the Persian Gulf, said that Iran "entered this conflict with a large number of weapons" and that's why the United States is acting so "aggressively and decisively." He said America continues to "hunt, find and destroy them," but at the same time emphasized that Iran still retains "some capability." @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, wrote in a message on Truth Social that America was not involved in Israel's attack on South Pars and that no such attack will be repeated, and he has no interest in carrying it out due to the consequences of attacking infrastructure for Iran's future. The message states: "Israel, out of anger over what has happened in the Middle East, has violently attacked a major facility called the South Pars gas field in Iran. A relatively small portion of the entire field was hit. The United States had no knowledge of this specific attack, and the country of Qatar was not involved in any way, shape, or form, and had no idea that such a thing was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the relevant and important facts related to the South Pars attack, and unfairly and unjustly attacked part of Qatar's LNG gas facilities. No more attacks will be carried out by Israel in relation to this very important and valuable South Pars gas field, unless Iran incorrectly decides to attack Qatar - which is completely innocent in this matter. In that case, the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will blow up the entire South Pars gas field with enormous power and intensity that Iran has never seen or experienced. I have no desire to endorse this level of violence and destruction, due to its long-term consequences for Iran's future, but if Qatar's LNG is attacked again, I will not hesitate for a moment and will do this. I thank you for your attention to this matter." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
