@najam_ali So you want the oil prices to erupt? Do you know the effect it will have on countries like ours? On poor people?

The Tipping Point for Oil Many people are asking why oil prices haven’t risen and crossed the previous highs despite the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb. If you remember oil surged to around US$125 as markets priced the immediate shock and feared the worst. But as it became clear that inventories, softer demand and alternative supplies could cushion the disruption, prices retreated. The key point is this: inventories are not infinite. Oil markets can remain deceptively calm. Once reserves approach critical levels, the market stops pricing probabilities and starts pricing an unavoidable physical shortage. That is when prices can simply erupt.

@najam_ali @beena_farhat Why shut Why poor suffer

Trump chose this war. He no longer controls the choices it has created. The longer he delays a settlement and pursues escalation, the harsher the eventual terms of reconciliation will become. He is now caught in an escalation trap: unable to win decisively, yet increasingly unable to retreat without paying a higher price.

@najam_ali Iran has chosen to continue this war after the MOU had been signed by firing cruise missiles at unarmed ships in Omani territorial waters. Why should we suffer for Iran's disgraceful conduct?

@beena_farhat Yes, it should. If Iran faces a hostile takeover by foreign powers, it should be shut.

@MaverikHindu @murtazasolangi Fuck you

India will STOP Indus from flowing into pakistan. No power on this planet can stop India. India does not give a fuck about ICJ, WB or any international tribunal. India is 1.4Billion worlds largest democracy, and she will protect protect her civilians from repeated Islamic terrorist attacks from Pakistan. India WILL weaponize water to force Pakistan to stop Islamic terrorism on Indian civilians. This is not Gandhi Nehru's India. RSS/BJP has zero tolerance for Islamic terrorism and will make pak pay dearly.

“India cannot put any river in abeyance. India cannot hold water hostage. India cannot starve a civilisation into compliance. India cannot wield rivers as weapons. Pakistan has decided that we shall protect our rivers. Pakistan will protect life and civilisation. Our people and their armed forces have defended this soil in four wars. We will fight India’s attempt at hydro-hegemony. We seek peace, but we shall fight this war if imposed on us. We shall take this fight to international courts and councils, to the court of world opinion, and to the conscience of citizens everywhere – until weaponisation of water is condemned and outlawed, international law is restored and justice flows as freely as the rivers that nurture the Indus civilisation.” By @kdastgirkhan thenews.pk/print/1424077-…

Pakistan has done a good job of mediating on the current US-Iran standoff. This conflict however is never ending and will go on. International waters cannot be allowed to be controlled in any manner whatsoever by anyone nor can a fees be charged. Pakistan should focus elsewhere.

@wmakarand Greg Chappell wrote in the letter to give better treatment to Imran. He also wrote that he did NOT want to interfere in the judicial process and so he never asked to free Imran!

In February 2026 Greg Chappell wrote an open letter signed by 14 international cricket captains requesting Pakistan PM to free Imran Khan. Now with a message on T shirt FREE Imran Khan he is reminding all cricket lovers to back his request. We need to support it.

@sardesairajdeep Greg Chappell wrote in the letter to give better treatment to Imran. He also wrote that he did NOT want to interfere in the judicial process and so he never asked to free Imran!

Not just cricket lovers, but anyone committed to democratic values should back Greg Chappell and the group of former captains on this: the continued incarceration of Imran Khan is a BLOT on the Pakistani state. Nearly three years in jail, with Pakistan’s most popular political leader effectively kept out of the political arena, raises troubling questions about democracy, due process and the rule of law.😡

@raghavanreports @NewYorker @MichaelKugelman @LodhiMaleeha @Rabs_AA Pakistan was never a pariah even before this mediation. Pakistan received 183/190 votes to become a member of the United Nations Security Council with 3 votes against, including India's - Only 2 other countries voted with the pariah India (against Pakistan).

My latest in @NewYorker on how Pakistan Is using the Iran War to reinvent Itself from near pariah status to reliable peacemaker. W/ great insight from @Michaelkugelman, Ryan Crocker, @Lodhimaleeha, Farzana Shaikh & @Rabs_AA newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

@MichaelKugelman Singapore Airlines' second-quarter earnings plunged 82%, as losses from Air India and "associated companies" reached $295 million from July to September of 2025. The company also posted a record-setting second-quarter revenue (+2.2%) and announced a special dividend package for..

@MichaelKugelman We are not against talks, India's decision to halt trade, IWT has not hurt us ( so far!). Our decision to close airspace has hit India very very hard as their airline industry is on the verge of collapse. Even Singapore airlines has suffered damage because of all this 1/2

One year after Op Sindor, a top RSS official says India should keep the door open for dialogue w/Pakistan. This comes after recent reports of unofficial India-Pak exchanges. Worth recalling a historic pattern: After India-Pak crises, bilateral tensions have tended to ease up.

@mmrattan @MichaelKugelman Did you notice how meekly the US top brass and even secretary Hegseth diverted Graham's questions. Graham was left with no option but to do the tough talking himself as others in the room were in no mood to offend Pakistan.

The CBS report is a case of a shaky assumption being made about a clear fact. Yes there were Iranian jets in Pakistan. But a stretch to say they were being protected from US strikes-esp. as they were there post-ceasefire. Seems plausible they were there to serve Iran diplomats.

@MichaelKugelman Lindsey Graham is nobody to question what we do on our sovereign territory. Reportedly some (Iranian) planes have also been parked in Afghanistan. As a mediator we do favors to the US all the time, we also have to do some favors to Iran!

@SouthAsiaIndex They did'nt start at the same footing. India inherited the central, most developed parts while Pakistan had to make do with the peripheral regions!

India and Pakistan started the journey at the same footing in August, 1947. Now, after almost 80 years, India is a $4 trillion economy, while Pakistan is barely escaping the default. What is one good thing that India did for its economy that Pakistan could not do ? Share your thoughts.

@sushantsareen Are you suggesting no damage was done at Indian bases? The bases Modi rushed to after signing the ceasfire...;.

So the Chinese gave Pakistan satellite support for offensive and defensive action but refused to give their Iron Brothers satellite imagery of damage caused to India? Kind of incredulous, don’t you think?

@pkbittu65 @LodhiMaleeha In a democracy, everyone is innocent unless and until proven guilty by a court of law. Every citizen, no matter what he has done, has a right to a free trial. A state either has to try a citizen or to release him. A state cannot hold an individual (to punish him) without a trial

@beena_farhat @LodhiMaleeha Umar khalid and sharjeel imam are main accused in Delhi riots ,5 other accused,all muslims were granted bail,they incited muslim mobs who in turn attacked Hindus and police,not all killed were muslim , 1/4 of them were Hindus , 53 were killed in total , How are they innocent ? -1

Yet the world has moved on and such atrocities have gone unpunished

@pkbittu65 @LodhiMaleeha Indian courts are NOT free at all. Modi has NOT allowed the Indian Supreme Court to allow bail to a Muslim for 6 years WITHOUT trial!

@beena_farhat @LodhiMaleeha This Pakistani bullshit has no basis , India's supreme court has acquitted him of all charges and Indian courts are fully independent unlike your Pakistani rubber stamp courts who accept their mistake many years after bhutto was hanged , even last year bangladesh has demanded -1

@pkbittu65 @LodhiMaleeha Gujarat genocide by Narendra Modi in 2000AD has also gone unpunished!

@LodhiMaleeha Genocide that was committed before bangladesh was born by Pakistani establishment in east pakistan still goes unaccounted for , why ??
