@iwasnevrhere_ "Pakistan didn't flinch, didn't fold and redrew the board". Very well summarized

@najamwalikhan None of them

جذباتی ہوئے بغیر سوچ سمجھ کر جواب دیجئے پاکستان کا دوست ایران ہے یا امریکہ؟

@najam_ali No one seems actually challenging petrodollar dominance, not even BRICS

An illiterate take. Calling the petrodollar a myth is the real myth. Oil is priced in dollars. Exporters earn dollars. Those dollars get recycled into US assets, mainly Treasuries, funding US deficits cheaply. This is basic flow-of-funds, not a conspiracy. Look at the pattern: Gaddafi pushed a gold dinar: gone. Iran stepped outside the dollar: sanctioned. BRICS is building alternatives: treated as a threat. This isn’t coincidence. The US is doing what Britain did with sterling, protect monetary dominance using power, alliances, and pressure. Not a myth. Just how power works.

Test your IQ level Can you find the missing angel?

@narendramodi Too late bro

Remembering the innocent lives lost in the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on this day last year. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with the bereaved families as they cope with this loss. As a nation, we stand united in grief and resolve. India will never bow to any form of terror. The heinous designs of terrorists will never succeed.

@najam_ali Can a super power of the times really come to the terms of a country they attacked to destroy within a week? Ego is up against resilience

Let’s stop overcomplicating it. The U.S. is negotiating as if the war never happened. Iran is negotiating as if the war changed everything. That is the entire problem. Washington wants Iran to accept terms it could have accepted before the war. Tehran believes it paid the price of war and earned better terms. A deal lies somewhere in the middle with slight tilt towards Iran.

@sultanwho And the asses like you who can neither make peace nor a war to save your own skin

So Pakistan failed to make things better but to worse

@KanwalSibal That much intellect

Pakistan is merely a convenient venue for the talks. Gulf was more obvious but the Oman effort failed. The US has used Qatar for talks with the Taliban. Qatar has experience in such efforts but it is now a party to the conflict. Europe is no longer politically credible as a neutral party. The Oslo days are over. Pakistan is next door and Iran would have preferred it for security considerations . Pakistan under Munir and Sharif are doing somersaults to ingratiate themselves with Trump. The US finds Pakistan serviceable. Hence the embarrassment of the Draft for Pakistan’s PM. All said and done, Pakistan will gain diplomatically from being the venue, even if the talks don’t succeed. Pakistan is deeply connected to terrorism, it is in permanent conflict with India, and now is at war with the Taliban in Afghanistan, its past protege. Iran has exchanged missile attacks with Pakistan fairly recently to deter terrorism against it from Pakistani soil. India need not and should not play up concerns about Pakistan’s role as it is tactically pragmatic for all sides. Our concern would be Trump’s potential rewards for Pakistan given his favourite Field Marshal syndrome by way of arms aid.

@AdityaRajKaul Seems something is burning somewhere 🤢

US began the war with the objective of freeing people of Iran from the ‘Islamic Regime’ and is ending it by surrendering at the Strait of Hormuz and giving a terror state like Pakistan stature of a mediator. Guess what desperation for an off ramp can do during a mad conflict.

@amjadt25 "Posts reflect my views only"

The UAE will show the world what strength is made of. The UAE will show the EU and NATO how to be brave. The UAE will make sure the Islamic regime in Iran never, ever targets us again. Never again. We lead. We protect. We win. And the Middle East moves forward without Islamist terrorists.

@shanaka86 Give it a try to understand how diplomacy works

BREAKING: On March 26, Pakistan confirmed it is mediating between Washington and Tehran. On March 27, Iranian missiles hit Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, damaging an American AWACS aircraft that Pakistan’s own mutual defence pact pledges to protect. Pakistan is simultaneously the treaty ally of the country being bombed and the diplomatic channel for the country doing the bombing. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed on March 26 that Islamabad is facilitating “indirect talks” between the United States and Iran, relaying messages on the 15-point American ceasefire proposal that Tehran has rejected per House of Saud and multiple Pakistani outlets. The same day, Russian Deputy Energy Minister Marshavin was in Colombo offering fuel deals to Sri Lanka. The same day, Zelensky was landing in the Gulf to sign defence deals with the countries Iran is attacking. And while Pakistan mediates for Tehran, Pakistani nationals are dying in the strikes Tehran is launching. The UAE MOD casualty list released March 28 names Pakistani citizens among both the dead and the 178 injured across 30 nationalities. Workers from Karachi and Lahore and Peshawar who came to build towers in Dubai are absorbing shrapnel from Iranian missiles that their own government signed a collective security guarantee to deter. The guarantee has produced zero military response. Not a single Pakistani soldier has been deployed in defence of Saudi Arabia since the war began on February 28. MEMRI reported on March 16 that there is “a distinct sense of betrayal within the Saudi leadership” because Pakistan “has not provided any tangible military assistance or political support” despite the pact’s explicit clause that aggression against one is aggression against both. The Middle East Forum went further on March 21, arguing that Pakistan’s simultaneous escalation against Afghanistan, including airstrikes near Kabul, is a manufactured excuse to tie down forces that the SMDA obligates for Saudi defence. Here is what nobody has connected this week. Pakistan is not just failing the Saudi pact. It is actively building the alternative architecture that replaces it. Islamabad operates the Gwadar port 400 kilometres from the Strait of Hormuz, the only Chinese-controlled deep-water facility that bypasses the chokepoint Iran controls. Pakistan is mediating Hormuz reopening while operating the corridor that makes the strait irrelevant. It is the treaty ally of the bombed, the mediator for the bomber, the operator of the bypass, and the nationality on the casualty list. Four roles. One country. All contradictory. All happening this week. The cost arithmetic makes the betrayal structural. Saudi Arabia loaned Pakistan $3 billion in December 2025 per CSIS. Pakistan’s 2.7 million workers in Saudi Arabia send home $685.5 million in remittances per month per the State Bank of Pakistan. The SMDA was supposed to convert this financial dependency into strategic credibility. Instead the war has exposed it as the opposite: Pakistan takes Saudi money, signs Saudi pacts, sends Saudi workers, and then mediates for the country bombing Saudi bases while its own workers die on Gulf casualty lists. Constructive ambiguity was the pact’s design feature. A Saudi official told the Financial Times it covers “all military means” without specifying nuclear weapons. Pakistan’s defence minister confirmed this scope, then retracted the next day. The ambiguity was supposed to maximise deterrence. Instead it maximised paralysis. The pact is not collapsing because it was badly designed. It is collapsing because the war arrived faster than the cash. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Afghanistan releases visuals of strikes in Pakistan

@talhaahmad967 So what is the true/right threat matrix if the existing one is gravely flawed?

Tactical action with no Strategic course of action Last year, Pakistan's strikes in Kabul under Operation Khyber Storm were a major strategic blunder. Even though it failed to assassinate the TTP Chief Noor Wali Mehsud, the fallout and implications were overall negative for Pakistan's security and deterrence equation. What happened following the attacks is a true reflection of a flawed threat matrix, an acknowledgement of structural failure and political incompetence. The Taliban have been waging a low-threshold sub-conventional war since 2021, resulting in “4,000 security personnel martyred and nearly 20,000 injured since the Taliban takeover in 2021.” (As per Pakistan's FM) Eventually, Pakistan escalates across the spectrum, and the Taliban respond by attacking border Posts all along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. This all unfolded when the Taliban's FM was in Delhi. The multi-axis attack demonstrated the Taliban's will and capabilities even at a limited threshold to Delhi. Did it laid foundations for a long term partneship or defence cooperation between Afghanistan and India? Only time would tell. Furthermore, to deny escalation dominance and deny initiative, the Taliban diplomatically engaged Pakistan through Qatar, and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, losing the initiative. Before talks mediated by Qatar and Turkiye, Taliban affiliates were primarily targeting Bannu, Waziristan, and DG Khan, and other cities. After the negotiations, they targeted Peshawar, the provincial capital, and Islamabad, the national capital, and staged an APS-style high casualties attack in Wanna cadet College. Despite the escalation, Pakistan's deterrence collapsed, as it failed to follow up and impose the cost, showing its lack of political will to wage a decisive war or impose a high cost. Pakistan had a very simple objective to deny the victory image, but it failed. Pakistan got strategically outmanoeuvred by the Taliban. How did Kabul read the situation? Low cost, no major critical infrastructure hit beyond borders, especially in Kabul, no decapitation, no degradation of diplomatic ties. This means that deterrence has been established, no new normal has been established, and things can revert to the pre-Kabul strike rules of engagement in the near future. Which they did, as evident from the rise in attacks by Taliban affiliates and TTP across the KPK, following the ceasefire, with a complete absence of any credible response by Pakistan. As the escalation between Afghanistan and Pakistan is on the rise again. Any escalation without an endgame (long-term political or military settlement) is just another episode in this vicious cycle of violence. Side note: I’d place last year’s Kabul strikes in the same category as the Jalalabad operations and Kargil, an outright failure driven by a half-baked plan.
