“Pause, sip, think — ideas and narratives sometimes need coffee.”
To be clear, I’m not necessarily even criticizing journalists for repeating these Pakistani ISPR claims. Pakistan is hosting the talks. Pakistan, in a normal world, would therefore be a totally credible source for the claim that was made here, namely that negotiations were about to restart. That Pakistan passed on this false information, just before markets closed in the US, is by itself interesting. Why did they do that? Were they lied to or were they lying? What reporters did with that false information is not the point I’m trying to make, although I would suggest that if you’re a reporter who was burned by this false information, don’t let them do it again with anonymity.
The world needs India, not Pakistan, for talks between the Islamic regime in Iran and the United States. India knows how to deal with radical Islamist regimes and jihadist extremism. Pakistan has failed three times, and the world is paying the price. Move the talks to India strong, capable, and neutral.
