So reportedly, while facilitating US-Iranian negotiations and cozying up to President Trump, Pakistani military leaders have also allowed Iranian military aircraft to secretly park in a Pakistani airfield to avoid destruction by US attacks. If the report is confirmed, noone should find it surprising. Working simultaneously with and against the US has been a pattern of Pakistani policies for the last 40 years. Examples include: making commitments to the US not to acquire nuclear weapons while in fact energetically doing just that, helping #USA in Afghanistan after 9/11 while also helping those fighting against us and let’s not forget, hosting Bin Laden until we finally located him right next to one of their military facilities, and our Special Forces went in and eliminate him. @POTUS@USUN@SecState@SecWar@CIADirector #Pakistan #Afghanistan #Iran #SaudiArabia #UAE #India @SenateRPC@WSJ@NYT@washingtonpost@AJEnglish

Sohail Khan Afridi, Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, says the Pakistani army should fight its “dollar war” somewhere else not in Pashtun areas. That is a stunning admission from a sitting elected leader: the escalating violence across the Durand Line is being used by Pakistan to justify endless military operations in Pashtun regions.
Pakistan has relied on these dirty tactics for decades. Since the Urumqi “peace talks last month,” both Islamabad and the Taliban have gone unusually quiet about the ongoing bombardment of Afghan villages, likely under Chinese pressure but daily incursions continue. Afghans are paying the ultimate price, while Taliban collusion grows more visible by the day.
I am deeply concerned for the Afghan allies who remain trapped inside Afghanistan with no real support, no safe route out, and no practical alternative. Many of these people served alongside and supported British forces, British contractors, and UK funded operations, often at great personal risk. For almost five years, they have waited, hoped, appealed, submitted evidence, and trusted that the UK Government would honour its promises. During this time, many families have been forced to survive with little or no income, selling whatever assets they had, relying on relatives, borrowing money, moving from place to place, and living under constant fear simply to stay alive. Instead, many have been left in silence and uncertainty, as if their loyalty and sacrifice can simply be filed away and forgotten.
This is not only an administrative failure it is a moral and legal failure by the UK Government. Britain asked these people to stand with it in dangerous times, and now many of them feel abandoned when they need protection the most. It is deeply sad and shameful that Afghans who risked their lives for British interests are once again being betrayed. Approval letters, pending applications and appeal rights mean very little if there is no real support, no evacuation assistance, and no safe pathway to protection. For months, advocates, campaigners, legal representatives and affected families have been pushing the Ministry of Defence for clear answers on what will happen to those still left behind, but they have received no proper clarity, no practical solution, and no reassurance that these people will not simply be abandoned. Paper promises do not save lives, although the UK government strangely pretends they do.
Serious questions must now be answered. Why are some Afghan allies being treated differently from others? Why is there unfair treatment between those who can afford to move to a third country and those who cannot? Why have vulnerable families been made to wait for almost five years, only to be left without a clear solution? The UK Government must explain why these people were given hope for so long if there was no genuine intention to support them properly. These Afghan allies deserve fairness, dignity and protection, not discrimination, delay and another betrayal.

The Iran war was never just about Iran. Option A was to turn a US and Israel war against Iran into an Iran versus Arab war, drag it on for twenty years, and milk it for cash from every angle. That plan went to shit because the Arab states chickened out and did not want to fully own the fight.
So Washington moved to Option B: make a deal, let Iran tighten its grip over Hormuz, then sit back and watch the Arab regimes come running to the US, begging to be saved from the new bully on the block. Then the same circus starts again. More weapons, more defence deals, more protection money, more profit for America.
Now Iran wants the status quo plus extra. The US wants a face-saving exit. Maybe a deal happens, maybe it does not, but if it does, it will most likely lean in Iran’s favour while both Tehran and Washington find a way to make money out of it.
If Option B fails, which is probably the more likely outcome, then the US just sticks with the current mess: a half-dead ceasefire, random bombings here and there, sanctions, pressure, and controlled chaos until the next election. Then a new president comes in, a new agreement gets dressed up as a breakthrough, and Iran comes out looking like the new regional hard man while the Arab governments panic and throw even more money at the US.
It is a Catch22, No matter who shouts victory, the Arab regimes get shafted and the US still walks away counting cash.
@CMShehbaz@realDonaldTrump This is not scratching each other’s backs, it is more like sucking each other off. This is not politics, it is the lowest of the low, and the sucker of all suckers.
The Ugly Truth!
America, which claims godlike authority in the world
Today its condition is such that Pakistan is brokering its ceasefire negotiations 😇
So, America was never such a great and mighty power as the world thought, nor was it the great champion of human rights that people had been misled into believing.
America is the modern form of dictatorship, the old image of oppression and brutality, and a bloodthirsty wolf in sheep’s clothing.
It can no longer deceive either its own people or the people of the world.
#PakWatch🇵🇰: Pakistan’s military-led government plays global broker but can’t fix its own economy. Pak has a STUNNING 25 IMF bailouts since 1950.
PAK ONLY KNOWS HOW TO DO ONE THING WELL = PASS THE BEGGING BOWL.
Next month marks 15 years since Osama bin Laden was killed by the United States, after being hosted by the Pakistani army in Abbottabad, just 60 miles from Islamabad, for nearly a decade. How was the world’s most wanted man living in plain sight under the nose and with the help of Asim Munir’s colleagues?
Why did Pakistan bomb a drug-treatment center in an Afghan hospital, killing 411? Pakistan claimed that it was a military target seems refuted by @AFP's investigation in Kabul. Is Pakistan examining what went wrong to avoid more such killing of civilians? https://t.co/XixawHWcBV
In just the past six and a half weeks, 761 Afghans have been killed by the cowardly Pakistani regime. For Afghans, the truth has never been in doubt, yet Pakistan and its propaganda machine denied even the bombing of a hospital for addicts in Kabul.
Now the truth is no longer deniable. The United Nations and other international agencies have confirmed it: this is a crime against humanity.
So the question is: what now? Will the institutions that speak in the name of human rights remain silent or will they act? The world cannot look away. This must be raised, recorded and confronted at the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Imagine the mindset of Asim Munir, responding to a video of an Afghan businessman burning the Pakistani rupee by ordering bombings of Afghan cities that result in the massacre of hundreds of innocent civilians. Even if the currency comparison is unfavorable, reacting in such a manner is deeply troubling. Instead of bombing us, the focus should be on strengthening your economy and addressing internal challenges.
This raises serious concerns about judgment, accountability, and global safety, especially when such leadership is in control of nuclear weapons. Actions that harm civilians are unacceptable and demand international attention.
This is a profoundly proud and joyful moment for me, for @trina1982t2 , and for every single person who persistently fought for this case and secured the truly well-deserved outcome we have today.
The UK government must now act urgently and without any further delay to evacuate these people. They have already waited for years.
