@RizviProf Proud moment for the entire JMI fraternity. Heartiest congratulations to everyone associated with Jamia Millia Islamia on this outstanding achievement.
CONFIRMED: Iran has invited China and Russia as its witnesses in Islamabad. The US has invited Saudi Arabia and Qatar on its side. The UAE has been sidelined because the Iranian delegation raised an objection against it.
Sharp Edge: No US President since Nixon has been closer to Pakistan than Trump
It’s worth remembering how wrong BJP fan boys got Trump , celebrating his birthday, praising his acumen and claiming that he was so close to Modi that a golden age was here

The Hormuz ceasefire opens a strategic window — and India is uniquely positioned to seize it. With deep Gulf partnerships, the Chabahar corridor, 10 million citizens in the region, and growing naval capabilities, New Delhi has the leverage to shape West Asia’s future like no other player can.

India thanks Azerbaijan for facilitating repatriation of Indians from Iran. Recalls meeting between Indian ambassador @AmbassadorAbhay & Azerbaijan FM.
Despite few amendments to the previous drafts, any death sentences imposed under this law would constitute a violation of the right to life and, when imposed against Palestinians from the OPT, may also amount to war crimes.
The international community must exert maximum pressure on the Israeli authorities to immediately repeal this law, fully abolish the death penalty, and dismantle all laws and practices that contribute to the system of apartheid against Palestinians.
“Even the apartheid regime in South Africa did not dare to say that if a black man kills a white man, he will be executed. But if a white man kills a black man, he will not be. What Israel did…it is exactly that saying that a Palestinian could be sentenced to death penalty, but an Israeli no for the same crime.” -@MustafaBarghou1 on Israel’s new death penalty law.
#Israel’s new law reinstating the death penalty, almost exclusively to Palestinians, is deeply discriminatory & must be repealed.
It is patently inconsistent with Israel’s international law obligations, including in relation to the right to life - UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk

With the Iran war inflicting an extraordinary energy crisis on the world, could this accelerate a move away from fossil fuels? Environmentalist Bill McKibben hopes so: “It’s geopolitically sound,” he argues, and “it’s cheaper.”
Today, I was invited as an expert panelist on DD Urdu to deliberate on the evolving crisis in West Asia. I argued that contemporary conflicts have transcended conventional interstate wars; they are embedded in identity politics, shaped by shifting geopolitical alignments, and perpetuated through sustained external interventions.
The West Asian theatre underscores the deeply interconnected nature of regional conflicts and their global reverberations. For India, this necessitates a nuanced strategy anchored in strategic autonomy, multi-alignment, and the primacy of sustained diplomatic engagement over militarized responses for any meaningful and durable peace.
