@omar_quraishi Alleged is a signature AI addition based on standard safety protocols built into most models. Ironically, and inadvertently, it reveals both incompetence and hypocrisy. Then again, when you have limited intelligence of your own, you must rely entirely on the artificial variety.

I don’t know the name of the condition or the patient you describe, sir, but they are most certainly of a kindred disposition to those so lost in antipathy and an instinctive aversion, and perhaps entirely reasonable for a non-American, that they miss the point entirely. The post was meant to remind us of the principles on which America’s founding fathers built this nation and why it is absolutely vital we rid ourselves of the parasitic influence of Zionist fanatics and their hires. ​ P.S. You win the sarcasm award. I concede

“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations ...” What is the name of that condition, psychosis, where the patient sees and describes himself with words that bear no resemblance to his terrible essence, the truth of him, or his invariably unspeakably evil actions?

I posed exactly this question to someone, and Tulsi Gabbard’s rationale/justification is presumably as follows: Gabbard specifically used the phrase “potentially could,” framing it as cautious speculation about possible future directions, not a claim of current capability or intent. Pakistan is included in the list in view of its close military and intelligence ties with China, a primary U.S. strategic competitor. India was excluded based on its Major Defense Partner designation since 2016. That said, Gabbard remains largely marginal to the decisions that actually shape policy, and her tenure may not even run the full course.

The real wildcard is how quickly the strait returns to commercially insurable traffic. The strait remains open but under extreme threat. War risk premiums alone will strangle trade long before any formal closure. And these GDP forecasts assume a contained, time-limited disruption. These forecasts will keep getting revised toward the downside. And this isn’t going to be a slow burn. This is heading toward catastrophic territory and the models are just catching up.

Goldman Sachs estimates that if the Strait of Hormuz is shut for two months, Qatar and Kuwait could see GDP contract by about 14% this year. Saudi Arabia and the UAE would fare somewhat better by rerouting exports, but still face declines of roughly 3–5%. #IranWar‌

Proud to see Pakistan emerge as one of the most responsible and pragmatic nuclear armed nations in the world, one that navigates an extraordinarily volatile geopolitical landscape without sacrificing its core principles. In a world fracturing along fault lines of ideology and conflict, Pakistan is emerging as something rare and invaluable: a bridge between civilizations and adversaries, a voice of reason and restraint when the world needs it most.

Prime Minister's letter to His Eminence Mojtaba Khamenei Prime Minister's Office Islamabad : Tuesday, 10 March, 2026 Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has written a letter to His Eminence Mojtaba Khamenei, conveying condolences on the martyrdom of his revered father, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, while also congratulating him on assuming the responsibilities of Supreme Leader. In his message, the Prime Minister reiterated the deepest condolences and prayers of the people of Pakistan at this solemn moment for the brotherly people of Iran and the wider Muslim Ummah. He noted that the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei had deeply saddened the people of Pakistan, who stand in solidarity with the leadership and people of Iran during this difficult time. While congratulating His Eminence on assuming this onerous responsibility, the Prime Minister expressed the hope that his leadership would guide Iran towards peace, stability, dignity and prosperity in the years ahead. The Prime Minister underscored that relations between Pakistan and Iran are anchored in shared faith, history, culture and language. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to continue working closely with the Islamic Republic of Iran to further strengthen bilateral cooperation across all spheres of mutual interest for the benefit of the two brotherly peoples. The Prime Minister also prayed for the good health, well-being and success of His Eminence and for peace, stability and prosperity for the brotherly people of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

@omar_quraishi I would vote for palishiya because it makes it sound kinda exotic. And it is also a fitting homage to the indigenous variety of this species found in abundance across all four provinces.

The Roosevelt is a crown-jewel sovereign asset in the most valuable, globally benchmarked real estate market on the planet. The State of Pakistan must manage it the way families manage generational assets: NEVER sell the inheritance. Develop it strategically. Finance it intelligently. Monetize the yield methodically. And above all else, always, ALWAYS keep the keys. It’s the kind of asset that can be cash flow–optimized without divestment, recapitalized without being relinquished, and leveraged without being liquidated. @CMShehbaz

My professor Barry Nalebuff once explained to us at college how game theory could be weaponised in geopolitics, “when the goal is explicitly a decapitation and regime-change campaign, the strategy involves a broader leadership targeting list designed to create vacuum and paralysis.” This also contributes to the “everyone is vulnerable, no one is safe” shock effect that aims to accelerate internal collapse or surrender. Some targets are chosen for “high symbolic payoff with relatively low risk of triggering massive domestic backlash.” If I remember correctly this fell under brinkmanship, asymmetric information and iterated elimination.

Historically, Iran shielded India from international censure over Kashmir at the OIC in 1994, refusing to back a Pakistan-driven resolution at the UNHRC that could have triggered sanctions against India. It was the only country to do so. In May 2024, Iran signed a 10-year agreement with India to develop Chabahar Port, a port explicitly designed to bypass Pakistan that gives India vital strategic access to Afghanistan and Central Asia via Iran. Pakistan loses its leverage as the transit state. In May 2025, as Pakistan and India were at war, Iran’s Foreign Minister was in New Delhi signing more MoUs. Only responding because your friend asked but perhaps this is not the moment for such reflections.

With great respect for your perspective, a disgraced politician like @Real_MZubair, whose own conduct has been anything but dignified, is hardly qualified to comment on embarrassment or dignity. Our society must learn to ostracize for the right reasons. We have historically been very good at ostracizing for the wrong ones. One would not expect someone of your distinction to find his opinion worthy of citation, however valid you may consider it.

Pakistan’s case is arguably the strongest act of legitimate self-defense in the modern era. Not one year has passed where terrorists sheltered on Afghan soil have not shed Pakistani blood. NOT ONE. Pakistan tried every path that did not involve military action, for longer than any nation should have to. It negotiated. It requested. It warned. It was met with denial, deflection, and more body bags. In demanding accountability from a neighbor that has turned its territory into a launching pad for mass murder, Pakistan is exercising the most fundamental right in international law, the right to self-defense.

India has been quietly, methodically expanding its trade corridors, courting foreign investment, and embedding itself deeper into global supply chains, whilst keeping Pakistan engaged and preoccupied in a proxy war. Destabilization and disorder are not the byproduct of this proxy war. They are the objective. While we bleed, they build. We cannot wait for the Taliban to become reasonable neighbours. That is not a strategy, it is a fantasy. Mercenaries with a flag, franchising ideology, will always be the most reliable foot soldiers in a proxy war. And circumstances do not resolve themselves. You either command them or they command you. The single greatest barrier to investment in Pakistan is not our economy. It is not our politics. It is our security situation. Fix everything else and it still will not be enough. But establish security, decisively, and the investment will come. And once capital has a stake in your stability, it becomes your most unsentimental ally and the most effective reform ever devised. It creates too many people with too much to lose for chaos to remain affordable.

We Americans did the exact same thing with their predecessors. We poured billions into arming and training the Mujahideen to fight the Soviets. Those same freedom fighters morphed into the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and gave us 9/11. Pakistan is not unique in this. And for decades, Pakistan shouldered one of the heaviest refugee burdens in recorded history, millions of Afghans fed, housed and sheltered at staggering cost to its own people. That generosity has been repaid with unrelenting terrorism and open aggression. The moral of the story: never create monsters to fight your enemies. And perhaps something is deeply broken in this land. @SecRubio @realDonaldTrump
Yalda Hakim@SkyYaldaHakim

Pakistan spent decades backing and sheltering the Afghan Taliban — its defence minister acknowledged that to me on camera. Now it says Taliban-ruled Afghanistan is providing sanctuary to militants attacking Pakistan. The consequences are unfolding in real time.

Pakistan humiliated India in conventional war. What was meant to intimidate became a demonstration of our capability and our unbreakable will. No amount of spin from New Delhi can rewrite what occurred. But let us not be naive about what comes next. They will come at us from every direction. That is simply the nature of the adversary we face. Petty in defeat, vengeful in posture, and methodically insidious in its pursuit of retaliation. We can debate governance. We can question economic decisions, challenge policy, hold leadership to account, and disagree fiercely on the direction of our republic. After all we are a complicated people. Spirited, headstrong, and unapologetically opinionated. We are also, undeniably, one. Which is why now, more than ever, is the time to tap into that which lives in every Pakistani without effort, without instruction, without question. A love for the motherland that runs far deeper than whatever may separate us.

The Afghan Taliban regime initiated unprovoked firing along the Pakistan-Afghanistan Border in Torkham & Tirah sub-sectors. Pakistan’s security forces responded immediately & effectively, silencing the Taliban aggression. Any further provocation will be responded to immediately and severely. InshaAllah, Pakistan will continue to protect its citizens and guard its territorial integrity.
