🚨 As UN General Assembly (UNGA) takes place in New York this September, we remember one of the most consequential speeches in recent times.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
Why Houthis threaten Pakistan
A senior Houthi commander has warned Pakistan and Turkey of dire consequences if they join hands with Saudi Arabia.
The development comes after Pakistan and Turkey indicated they might operationalise the Makkah Defence Alliance.
While Pakistan is still favouring diplomacy, it has clearly taken a far clearer stance against the Houthis.
There is also chatter in policy circles that the Houthis are increasingly serving the Israeli agenda.
There is also another shift. Pakistan has decided to call Houthis a militia, a characterisation that is significant.
Similarly, Turkey has taken a series of measures against Iran. Ankara has banned Iran's airline and shut down its banks.
These measures have made the Houthis and Iran realise that Pakistan and Turkey may have been inching closer to choosing sides.
Some are arguing that even if Pakistan and Turkey join Saudi Arabia, that would not make any difference, citing the failure of the US in its previous campaign against the Iranian-backed group in Yemen.
However, those people miss an important point. The direct involvement of Pakistan and Turkey would have far more implications and would take the regional escalation to a different level.
There would certainly be consequences for Pakistan and Turkey for such a decision, but Iran would also feel the real heat.
Pakistan and Turkey share borders with Iran and are significant powers in the Muslim world. Losing the support of Pakistan and Turkey has its own cost.
There is growing concern among regional Muslim countries that Iran wants to be the new hegemon after the US war ends. There are concerns that Iran could create trouble for them. The emergence of the Makkah Defence Alliance is to deter this proposition.
So, we are entering a very delicate phase of this conflict. Pakistan is dispatching another high-level delegation to Iran for a diplomatic solution, while President Trump has said he is all set to take a major decision on Iran. He said the move could be either the complete destruction of Iran or a potential big bargain.
One thing is certain. The longer the conflict persists, the more difficult it would be for countries like Pakistan to maintain a delicate balance.
The era when your F-35s and F-15s get hunted down and you have to report them damaged🤏 has already begun.
What was once pure nightmare fuel is now the daily reality. Live with it.
مکہ مکرمہ پر حوثیوں کا حملہ پورے عالم اسلام پر حملہ تصور ہوگا۔مکہ مکرمہ صرف ایک شہر نہیں بلکہ کروڑوں اربوں مسلمانوں کی عقیدتوں کا مرکز ہے۔خاکم بدہن اگر یہ حملہ ہوا تو بدبخت حملہ آور عالم اسلام کے غیض وغضب سے نہیں بچ پائیں گے ۔
امت مسلمہ پوری شدت سے اس حملے کا بھرپور جواب اور سعودی عرب کے تحفظ کو یقینی بنائے گی۔مسلمان ممالک بالخصوص پاکستان اس نازک اور مشکل وقت میں سعودی عرب اور حرم مکی کے تحفظ میں صف اول کا کردار ادا کرے۔
پاکستان حرمین شریفین کے تحفظ کے حوالے سے واضح پالیسی کا فوری اعلان کرے۔امت مسلمہ کو آئے روز درپیش چینلجزسے مضبوط اور مؤثر اسلامی بلاک کے قیام کی ضرورت پہلے سے بڑھ کر محسوس کی جا رہی ہے ۔
جمعیت علماء اسلام کے لاکھوں کارکن مملکت سعودیہ پر حملے کے دکھ درد میں شریک ہیں ۔سعودی عرب پر حملے نے امریکہ اور مغربی دنیا کے دوغلے رویے کو ایک بار پھر بے نقاب کردیا ۔
@srijanpalsingh Dear srijan,
You can propogate what ever you want but Indians are the top hypocrite in whole of the world, US army is getting supplies from Indian ports not from diago Garcia
Try to present facts not fiction
New Pakistan Air Force photo shows a second J-10CE fighter jet (serial 22-118 from the Cobra Squadron) carrying a Rafale silhouette kill mark on the nose — commemorating a claimed shootdown during the May 2025 India-Pakistan clash.
The pilot's patch reads "500+ hours of taming the beast."
Reuters previously cited US officials confirming at least two Indian aircraft downed by J-10s, one assessed as a Rafale.
India hasn't confirmed specific losses.
Deeply appreciate President Donald Trump’s kind words of support on the signing of the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement.
Together with the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Turkiye, Pakistan will continue to play a constructive role in ensuring the defence of our own countries as well as the entire region.
I would also like to once again commend President Trump for his courageous and decisive leadership, which helped avert a nuclear catastrophe in South Asia and saved millions of lives.
Durable peace is the most essential prerequisite for a bright and prosperous future for our peoples. @realDonaldTrump
