@ArcStrategic_gl @shanaka86 Because it's the shortest and cheapest route .

Strong frame. One question. If Hormuz is closed and GCC producers are already rerouting through Yanbu and the Arabian Sea, their tankers can sail directly to Chinese ports. Why would they detour to unload at Gwadar and enter an overland pipeline when the sea route to China is open? The bypass only works under total maritime blockade. That is not the current scenario. The architecture metaphor holds everywhere except the part it needs to hold most.

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…

@ammarhussain01 @faizanlakhani Because you are not playing a test match.

@faizanlakhani Why babar can't open in place of Saim? Fakhar is at 3?

@yducknow Power is power .

In one sentence prove that you've watched Game of Thrones:

@ZahidGishkori How many inmates are allowed to travel abroad ??

Imran Khan spoke to his sons 29 times on phone since he was jailed in Adiala. Each call lasted for 30 to 40 minutes. More than 41 foreign prisoners and 8123 local inmates are jailed in Adiala. They did not get any opportunity to talk to their friends or family members abroad following current Pakistan jail rules for inmates where they can not make oversea calls. One hopes that Pakistani authorities, under Mandela Jail Laws & Jail Reforms, will give a chance to other inmates for making oversea calls to their dear ones as well.

@Rajiv1841 @Sajjad657 175 crores pkr per year . Now do the math again .

@Sajjad657 Quality🤡🤡🤡🤡

🚨🚨 Huge Huge reality check for dilusional Pakistan. LSG's price in IPL - 7090 crores INR Hyderabad price in PSL - 56 crores INR People of Pakistan should have some shame & shouldn't ever again use term IPL & PSL in one breath. Pakistan is light years behind India & IPL!!

@amanvarma11_11 @paykhar Abe wo Afghan ha tumara new found love .

@paykhar First, show that your junk tin-can is able to perform negative g maneuvers like tejas was doing before the crash, you little inbred b!tch, then talk. What will the Pakistani so-called consultants teach, how to tuck tail and run away when challenged in the air & how to surrender?

Indians can’t catch a break. This is the second major fiasco in a year for Indian Air Force. They should hire Pakistani consultants.

@burhan_uddin_0 Do you want to follow all his views ? Do you know what he said about the Taliban in the past ? You ungrateful pajeets the hate for Pakistan is making you blind .

شاہزیب خانزادہ کے ساتھ جو ایک آوارہ لفنگے مے بدتمیزی کی ہے، اس پر حیران ہونے کی قطعاً ضرورت نہیں۔ یہ کوئی حادثہ نہیں بلکہ اُس جماعت کے برسوں سے پروان چڑھتے زہریلے کلچر کا قدرتی نتیجہ ہے۔ جہاں دلیل کی جگہ گالی دی جاتی ہو وہاں ایسے ہی آوارہ ٹولے پیدا ہوتے ہیں۔ شاہزیب خانزادہ اُن چند صحافیوں میں سے ہیں جن کی دیانت، تحقیق اور پروفیشنل ازم پر اس ملک میں شاید ہی کوئی انگلی اٹھا سکے۔ @shazbkhanzdaGEO

مظہر برلاس اپنی صحافت کے جوہر دکھائیں اور تحقیق کرکے بتائیں کس نے یہ گھر بنا کر بشری تسکین کو دیا ہے ، ویسے آسان راستہ تو یہی ہے کہ لندن کی عدالت چلے جائیں اور سارے الزامات کو غلط ثابت کرکے بشری بی بی کوکلین چٹ دلوائیں ، مگر ایسا کوئی کرے گا نہیں ۔

@FarrukhJAbbasi Atleast you got the topic to send 10 tweets in one day otherwise you didn't have anything to say about your beloved party .

Imran’s following is so cultist, they will start defending Jeffrey Epstein

یوتھیا کلٹ اور اسکے ہم نواؤں کی جنگ جیو کو گالیاں دینے اور کمپینز کی بیس سال کی تاریخ ہے نئی بات نہیں۔ جنگ جیو اور میر شکیل اور اسکے سٹاف سے دشمنی ہمیشہ رہے گی اور اسی پیٹرن سے میں کافی گُپت یوتھیے پہچانتا۔

Many Afghans have also reached that conclusion for obvious reasons
