Joined @ILTVNews with @calevbd to break down Pakistan’s diplomatic drive and to call out Ms @FleurHassanN’s claim on @ANI that Pakistan is “trying to make itself relevant.” That line collapses the moment you look at the actual map. The U.S. President is amplifying Pakistan’s leadership. #Iran is in direct contact. #China rolled out full red-carpet treatment today. #SaudiArabia, #Turkiye, #Egypt were all in Islamabad. This isn’t Pakistan trying to be relevant. This is Pakistan sitting at the centre of the entire mediation effort. And the usual terrorism jab? Pakistan has taken more casualties, fought more battles, and dismantled more networks than many of the countries throwing that line around today. Reducing two decades of sacrifice to a slogan isn’t serious diplomacy. In this moment, access and credibility decide who shapes outcomes. The countries that actually matter, the #USA, Iran, GCC states, Turkey, Egypt and China, are all talking to Pakistan. Whether it fits Ms Fleur’s preferred narrative or not, Pakistan is in the room where the real decisions are being forged. @Aadiiroy2 @ajmaljami @AdityaRajKaul @AnasMallick @AzazSyed @omar_quraishi @muneebfaruqpak @DanQayyum @ForeignOfficePk @husainhaqqani @hashurtag @thewirepak @tariq_puma @OtherImranKhan @MIshaqDar50 @alimdar82 @FaisalzUpdates @Salansar1 @sardesairajdeep @asmashirazi @JatoiTalha @NasimZehra @najamsethi @ShahabSpeaks @iamthedrifter @SdqJaan @javerias @2000Usman

It remains unclear whether Trump’s remarks about possible contact with the Islamic Republic reflect a real channel or a broader strategy to influence internal dynamics. Negotiations, at best, offer only a temporary fix and fail to address the root problem. The regime has shown no capacity for structural change and continues to operate through destabilization, violence, and ideological rigidity. Even if an agreement is reached, it is unlikely to last, as the Islamic Republic concedes only to ensure its survival. In an interview on the Security Brief Show on @ILTVNews with @calevbd

Today in #Iran, power operates on two levels: the regime’s official narrative, which seeks to project an increasingly centralized leadership around Mojtaba Khamenei, and the real structure of power, the IRGC. The IRGC is not just a military institution. It controls the core levers of governance and plays a decisive role in shaping the country’s political direction. @calevbd Security Brief Show

Jumpstart AI founder and journalist @DrorGloberman warns about a growing trend where people are placing bets on real-world events, including wars, creating risks around insider information and manipulation. He says these markets could influence how information spreads, potentially distorting reality and affecting how the truth is reported in the future.

@BulwarkOnline @JeffreyGoldberg Funny, because I was thinking: ``I don't know if the U.S. will be the U.S. of my youth ever again -- meaning, you know, a liberal democracy.'' I'd say relatively, by this measure, Israel is doing better than the U.S. under the circumstances.

"I don't know if Israel will be the Israel of my youth ever again — meaning, you know, a liberal-minded democracy." @JeffreyGoldberg discusses Israel’s shift toward fatalism and illiberalism and how it's deepening a painful rift with American Jews.

@sfrantzman `The Enemy Below' was made 12 yrs after WWII, & doesn't reflect the public view `even in war.' For that watch movies made from 1939-45, such as `Destination Tokyo'(1943) which had a very different take on the enemy, even held by decent people.

The Enemy Below with Robert Mitchum and Curd Jürgens (1957); what an excellent poignant film that shows how even in war people must keep their humanity; made in a different time, by a different generation, that didn't want to lose humanity in war and didn't glory in it and didn't see being decent and modest and open about the tragedy of war, as being less patriotic Those were decent people. Highly recommend watching it.

The Mossad called on Iranian citizens to send photos and documentation of attack sites through its official Persian-language Telegram channel. The agency asked residents to share images of regime buildings, security force bases, destruction, protests, and movements on the ground, appealing directly to the Iranian public to help document developments inside the country.
