Several Pak Christians killed and many more wounded when an Islamist rammed his truck into an Easter procession. Islamic Pakistan sends a clear message to its minorities : your festivals, your faith, your lives — none of it is safe. @RobertBiedron @weimers @EU_Commission @SamanthaTaghoy

Trump’s Iran War: A Strategic Failure on All Fronts The cessation of hostilities against Iran marks a strategic defeat for Trump, underscoring how little his war of aggression actually achieved. First, it failed in its central aim: regime change. Instead, it has consolidated the Iranian regime’s grip on power, giving new life to a government that had been under strain. Second, the Strait of Hormuz — open before the war — is now subject to “regulated passage” under Iranian coordination. What Trump demanded as an unconditional reopening has instead evolved into a tacit recognition of Tehran’s authority, with Iran poised to levy transit fees much like Egypt does in the Suez Canal. Third, the war's international economic costs are vast and enduring. Damage to energy infrastructure across the Gulf and Iran will reverberate globally, making this war arguably the most economically disruptive in decades. Fourth, the war deepened America’s geopolitical isolation. Trump’s public frustration with NATO allies, as well as partners like Australia, Japan and South Korea, only underscored the lack of international backing for a war that had no basis in international law. Meanwhile, Gulf Arab states have been left to absorb both physical damage and reputational fallout. Fifth, the war has eroded not just Trump’s credibility, but that of the United States itself. Finally, it has fractured Trump’s domestic political base at a critical moment ahead of the midterms. This was a war that weakened America, rescued Iran’s theocratic regime and left Trump with little to show but wreckage.

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. 🧵
