I told @ft on Gen Munir and Pakistan’s delicate mediating role:
In Tehran, they would have given him [Munir] a difficult time, and questioned why he was pushing so hard for mediation — was it genuine or was he part of a ruse to get them to bring their guard down. Pakistanis are serious interlocutors, but what they can’t deliver is any guarantees on Trump’s behavior. They can’t say we promise the US won’t do A, B, C. And there’s nothing Munir can do about that. ft.com/content/eb2215… via @ft
BBC News confirms the Trump administration is completely relying on Pakistan to save them from a disastrous war. Expert correspondent Caroline Davies reveals Washington is desperately using Islamabad's military leadership to beg Iran to return to the negotiating table.
The World Bank has placed Pakistan in its Middle East and North Africa regional classification in a bureaucratic move carrying symbolic and geopolitical weight, ending its longstanding placement in South Asia.

Our Indian friends might not appreciate blunt and unexpected response of American journalist when he was asked about Pakistan’s role or efforts to negotiate a deal b/w Iran and US.
⛔️The Pentagon is hiding the truth about the failed operation last night‼️
⛔️ The American camouflage for the landing operation at a remote airport in Isfahan was actually aimed as a major military landing operation ‼️
⛔️The American Isfahan operation was an initial landing operation for stabilising entry routes and securing it for a large ground landing operation, and when it failed, the pentagon diverted the compass with the excuse of rescuing the pilot to justify their failure‼️
⛔️You don’t rescue one pilot with a huge C-130 ‼️It was another major disaster and failure that they lied about‼️
Rubio: “Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They’d have a much different country.”
Imagine if instead of spending TRILLIONS on war the US spent that money on its people. We’d have a better country & the world would have peace.
isn’t being “consulted.”
It’s ironic. The same #Pakistan they tried so hard to isolate is now becoming a focal point in global discussions — and that’s what’s unsettling them.
At a time when the world is facing serious challenges, their discourse isn’t about solutions, stability,
Watching clips from Indian news channels, it genuinely feels like #Pakistan is living rent-free in their minds. Every debate, every panel, every headline seems fixated on one thing: Pakistan.
Their biggest concern right now? That Pakistan is being seen as a mediator, and #India
