Pakistan's Air Commodore Khalid Chishti (R) confesses that in the past 16 pilots from Pakistan fought against Israel. Pakistan told its pilots that they will not be recognized as Pakistan's own people, they will not get any medal, any allowance and their deification will be kept secret. It proves that Pakistan still helps both the Iran and Saudis against the USA and Israel.

Spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters tweets, "STATEMENT BY IRAN’S SUPREME NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL" “The United States has accepted a humiliating defeat and agreed to all of Iran’s ceasefire conditions as a basis for future negotiations”.

Mediation requires leverage over at least one party. Pakistan has none over Washington, which is running the war, and none over Tehran, which is fighting it and being bombed while reviewing the proposal. What Pakistan has is access, and access without leverage is not a seat at the table; it is an errand brief.pk/p/the-islamaba…

Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar reports that Gulf Arab nations are concerned about the unclear status of the Strait of Hormuz under the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, including whether Iran will charge tolls during the two weeks.

Pak Christian Easter procession attacked — Islamist truck driver ploughs into the crowd, spilling Christian blood on their holiest day. This is not an accident. This is targeted hatred, approved by the ideology that sees non-Muslims as fair game even during prayer and celebration. @RobertBiedron @weimers @EU_Commission @SamanthaTaghoy

BREAKING: Indian Embassy in Tehran issues advisory asking Indian nationals to exit Iran as soon as possible.

The message for Washington from the Iran war is clear: the age of relatively cost-free US wars is over. If the US fails to internalize this lesson, it will continue to stumble into wars it cannot decisively win, cheaply sustain or strategically justify. project-syndicate.org/commentary/ira…

The excavation at #Kumarikkalpalayam near Tiruppur is yet another reminder that Tamil civilisation is not just being spoken about today — it is being scientifically unearthed, studied and preserved. This is exactly why the work of the Central Government through the ASI matters. Here is a detailed thread about the Kumarikkalpalayam excavation undertaken by @ASIGoI Kumarikkalpalayam is located in Uthukuli Taluk of Tiruppur district, Tamil Nadu. The site’s proximity to Kodumanal, a renowned Sangam-age industrial and trading centre, further enhances its historical significance. The site is known for one of the tallest Menhirs in this region, measuring 26 feet. Menhirs, known in Tamil as kuththukkal or nedungal, are linked to the ancient Tamil practice of erecting memorial stones for warriors who died in battle. 🧵

India’s new fast breeder nuclear reactor puts the country alongside the US & Russia which have this technology that uses thorium as fuel. France & Japan tried & failed. China still trying to scale up.

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.

India Starts, America Stops At his latest news conference, Trump once again claimed credit — for the umpteenth time — for ending India-Pakistan “war” last year. It was India that launched Operation Sindoor. Yet it was Trump who first announced its cessation. New Delhi confirmed the ceasefire almost 100 minutes after it had already taken effect. Eleven months on, there is still no explanation for why India allowed Trump to play an intervening role in what the Modi government described as a limited operation targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan. The pattern is not new. After India’s Balakot airstrike on a terrorist camp in 2019, the world again learned of an India-Pakistan ceasefire not from New Delhi but from the White House — via Trump in his first term. Isn’t it striking that, in both instances, India initiated hostilities, yet the White House announced their cessation before India did? Put simply, India pulled the trigger, yet in both instances it let Trump decide when to holster the gun.
