BREAKING: Pakistan is mediating to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan also operates the only deep-water port on the Arabian Sea that lets China bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely. Both of these things are happening at the same time. Nobody has connected them. Gwadar Port sits 400 kilometres from Hormuz on the Arabian Sea coast of Balochistan. It is operated by China Overseas Port Holding Company under a 40-year lease. It is the southwestern terminal of the $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a 3,000-kilometre network of roads, railways, and pipelines connecting the Arabian Sea to Xinjiang. CPEC was designed from inception to let China bypass maritime chokepoints. It cuts China’s Middle Eastern energy import route from 12,000 kilometres by sea to 2,500 kilometres overland per CPEC’s own planning documents. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Traffic has collapsed over 90 percent. Iran is collecting yuan tolls from Chinese-linked vessels. Iran’s parliament is drafting legislation to make the toll permanent per Bloomberg. And Gwadar, the Chinese-controlled bypass, sits right there. Outside the strait. On the other side of the chokepoint. Operational. On March 25, Pakistan delivered America’s 15-point peace plan to Iran per Witkoff’s confirmation at a Cabinet meeting. On the same day, PLA Navy Ship Daqing docked in Karachi for Sea Guardian IV, joint drills running through April 2 in the Arabian Sea per Pakistan Navy and ISPR. The drills are protecting the same maritime corridor where Gwadar sits. Pakistan is the only country on earth that profits from both outcomes of this war. If Hormuz reopens, Pakistan gets American credit, aid, and restored regional relevance. Witkoff called the mediation channel “strong and positive.” PM Sharif offered to host face-to-face talks. Pakistan’s army chief has a personal relationship with Trump per Al Jazeera. If Hormuz stays closed or permanently tolled, Gwadar becomes the most strategically valuable port on the planet. Every barrel of oil that cannot transit Hormuz increases the economic case for overland delivery through CPEC. Every yuan toll that normalizes non-dollar settlement at the strait accelerates China’s investment in the bypass corridor that terminates at a port Beijing already controls. Pakistan sits on both sides of the trade: American mediator and Chinese landlord. Iran’s fifth ceasefire condition demands permanent sovereignty over Hormuz. If any version of that condition is accepted, the IRGC toll regime becomes international precedent. The country that benefits most from a permanent Iranian toll on the strait is China, which gains leverage to accelerate Gwadar as the alternative. The country facilitating the negotiation between those parties is Pakistan, which hosts both America’s peace plan and China’s bypass port. The Sea Guardian drills end April 2. Trump’s deadline expires April 6. Four days between the end of Chinese military exercises in Pakistan’s waters and the moment the largest US military buildup since 2003 either strikes or stands down. Pakistan receives 81 percent of its arms from China per SIPRI. It owes China over $30 billion. It holds Major Non-NATO Ally status with the United States. It is simultaneously a debtor to the bypass builder, an ally of the strait enforcer, and a mediator for the power trying to reopen the chokepoint the bypass was built to circumvent. This is not diplomacy. This is architecture. And the architect wins regardless of which door opens. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

So a German, an Englishman and an Irishman... were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when they were arrested by Saudi police. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so they are all sentenced to death! However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to appeal their sentences down to 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: "As it is my first wife's birthday today, she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping." The German was first in line; after thinking for a bit he said, "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but after only 10 lashes the whip had shredded the pillow. When the punishment was done the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying in pain. The Englishman was next up. After watching the German in horror he asked, "Please tie two pillows to my back." This time it took 15 lashes, but once again the pillows were shredded, and the Englishman was led away bleeding and whimpering in pain. The Irishman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from the most beautiful part of the world I have ever seen. Because of this, you may have two wishes!" "Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," the Irishman replied. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." "Not only are you an honorable man from a beautiful island, you are also very brave," the Sheikh said with admiration. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish?" And the Irishman said, "Tie the Englishman to my back." 🤣🤣

We do not hate them enough; we should hate them without any remorse.

No country in the world has killed more journalists in the last few years than Israel. 253 as of 26th March and now two more.

Reeling from the news that dear friends @ftounifatima and @cheib1970 have been killed in an I$raeli strike in the south of Lebanon. Heartbroken beyond words. And make no mistake that this was a deliberate, targeted assassination of journalists. A war crime. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. Words are not enough right now Rest in power. We will continue our work in your honour.

Cant have a genocide without Germany after all

The israeli occupation just brutally murdered our colleagues @ftounifatima and @cheib1970 from Al Mayadeen and Al Manar. They were assassinated by a drone while in a moving press vehicle.

Israel has just killed Lebanese journalist Fatima Ftouni. I am honoured to have known her. Just at the beginning of the month she reported on Israel killing seven members of her own family live on air.

Hadith of the day

Beautiful read

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.” Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn’t look like my doll at all,“ said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home. A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written: “Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”

@CandleInWind2 And in between all this, they dont forget to assist their wife in cooking, cleaning, gardening and feeding their persian cat.

Iranian leaders feel like they were built in a lab. Walked out of a war zone, picked up 2/3 degrees for fun, then spent 30 years studying strategy, engineering, philosophy& how systems break under pressure When things go sideways they've already thought through 15 versions of it.
