@Natsecjeff Taliban: we want to talk... China, Russia: you guys should talk... Pakistan:

The thing is India lost those aircraft to Pakistan within India's own airspace. And it lost most of those aircraft within the first hour. Also, in the case of the U.S., most of those damaged aircraft are either drones or friendly fire incidents. Over a period of weeks.

Eid Mubarak. What did Pakistan's Field Marshal say to Shia Ulema in the backdrop of #Iranwar; Day 21 of the war and how it has expanded. Can China play a role in helping effect a ceasefire? Pakistan's long range missiles under scrutiny once again. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Pakistan’s recent strikes signal that it is prepared to take the fight directly to the Taliban leadership’s inner circle if the Taliban regime’s support for anti-Pakistan groups continues. buff.ly/UBWEQ3x

Taliban better hope this is the longest Eid ever.

It seems that the temporary pause in the operation Ghazb lil haq isnt going to last long. Because today, at Eid prayers, the messaging by Haibatullah Akhuwnzada is again carrying veiled threats against Pakistan. On the other hand, right now as I'm writing this post, Zabiullah Mujahid is holding a space session, trying to make use of this 'peace vacuum' to win over the audience with their propaganda machinery in full swing. They have also issued an official statement that Pakistan is still shelling on the border posts. Not telling the truth that infiltrating parties from Afghanistan are been neutralised on continuous basis. This is what they are building up as a narrative and if it continues in the same direction and if there will be even a slightest of attack from the Afghan side, Pakistan will have to resume the operation with more intensity. I guess the lessons which both sides and specially the TTA leadership had to learn, they are not willing to do so. In their mindset, a one off event where they could give a push back to Pakistan may hold back Pakistan from resuming the full scale military operation once again. If Zabiullah Mujahid and their elders think that this is going to convert in a victory through narrative - they are probably in for a surprise and for shock as well. May God help the people of Afghanistan and this region. Aameen.

🚨 Even Sky News has reported that the Afghan Taliban allowed only a carefully selected, handpicked journalists to visit the site. If the location were truly a hospital, it would have been opened to all journalists, including independent and international media, without restriction. Instead, access was tightly controlled, both in terms of who could enter and what they were allowed to see. No independent observers or verification teams were permitted to access the site during the first 12–14 hours, and even when journalists were eventually allowed in, their access remained limited. What was present at the site during those crucial hours that required concealment? Obviously the TTA needed a cover-up and time to hide the remains of weapons and ammunition that was targeted….. There is no footage of emergency evacuations from what is being described as a 2,000-bed hospital, no verified videos of casualties being treated or transported, and no visible presence of doctors, nurses, patients, or attendants. Not a single independent or citizen journalist has provided real-time documentation of a hospital strike or even the evacuation…. Moreover, in cases where a state is accused of targeting a humanitarian facility, the standard expectation is to allow immediate access to independent investigators, including United Nations missions. However, this is not possible in this case, as UN teams have already reported being denied access to Kabul and other areas under Taliban control as recently as September 2025. International media organizations also face major restrictions operating within Taliban-governed regions, further limiting independent scrutiny. In the absence of transparent access, verifiable evidence, and independent confirmation, the claim lacks credibility. When information is tightly controlled and verification is systematically denied, than it clearly points towards a maligned, deliberate narrative construction. Accountability, therefore, must not only apply to those making such claims but also to media outlets that amplify them without rigorous verification.

“Before 1975, ISI did not conduct any operation in Afghanistan; it was only after decades of Republic of Afghanistan's proxy war against Pakistan, support to militants and armed incursion, particularly in early 1970s, that Pakistan was forced to retaliate” ~ Tomsen, Peter 2013

TEMPORARY PAUSE IN OPERATION GHAZAB LIL HAQ (18 Mar 26) In view of the upcoming Islamic festival of Eid-ul-Fitr, upon its own initiative as well as on the request from the brotherly Islamic countries of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the State of Qatar and the Republic of Turkiye, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has decided to announce temporary pause amidst ongoing "Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq" against the terrorists and their support infrastructure in Afghanistan. The pause shall be applicable from midnight 18/ 19 March 2026 to midnight 23/24 March 2026. Pakistan offers this gesture in good faith and in keeping with the Islamic norms. However, in case of any cross-border attack, drone attack or any terrorist incident inside Pakistan, "Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq" shall immediately resume with renewed intensity.

@AKorybko @MarioNawfal Trade you some Ababeel’s for some Sarmat’s? 😁

What the hell is going on? Why did Tulsi just state Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, AND Pakistan are all building advanced missiles, nuclear & conventional, that can hit the U.S, and are becoming a threat?

Remember: if Pakistan is to be involved in any real capacity in a regional war with domestic consequences and long-term geopolitical reshaping, it must deliver equal or greater geopolitical weight for Pakistan.

400 Pakistani civilians were martyred in 2025 alone. We won’t be gaslighted or blackmailed by your sob stories of fake drug addicts.

Bombed Kabul site linked to storage of drones, ordnance Now no liberal is sharing this article of Reuters, because this is against Taliban and present Pakistan's Version. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

A Taliban military vehicle carrying 4 suicide bombers was struck by a quadcopter drone at Angoor Ada, South Waziristan sector. Look at the calculation of the operator, FPVs are needed.
