The first announcement of a US-Iran peace deal comes from Pakistan’s PM. This marks the culmination of many weeks of mediation from Islamabad (including hosting direct talks), w/more than a little help from its friends (especially Egypt, Turkey, KSA, China, and in the end Qatar).

💣 In December 1964, a senior U.S. Defense Department official wrote a secret memo titled The Indian Nuclear Problem.
One key assessment was stark:
“One consequence of an Indian program is that one more national state, India, could some day be able to attack the United States with nuclear weapons.”

@ExecDirCISSS 🇮🇳’s jump to 190 warheads and 12 actively deployed in Jan 2026 combined with global-reaching ICBMs and SLBMs is a massive escalation. 🇮🇳’s irresponsible nuclear behaviour underscores a serious threat to regional and international strategic stability.

[Zafar Khan @zafarwafa1977]

“SIPRI Year Book: Nine Nuclear Weapon States -2026”

This clearly indicates that all major nuclear weapon states are not only modernizing and retaining their nuclear weapons but also increasing vertically.

Others follow suit.

India has consistently been going up the trajectory, becoming the largest and fastest-growing nuclear weapons state in South Asia, threatening Pakistan and others.

No one is willing to disarm their nuclear weapons. There is no sign of nuclear disarmament for obvious security reasons. Others will not be interested in disarming their nuclear weapons despite the efforts for the nonproliferation regimes.

Nuclear weapons will continue to play their deterring role in the international system.

Nuclear deterrence continues to retain its strategic value despite the emergence of disruptive technologies.

@RadioactiveFrnd New Delhi may reject references to #JammuandKashmir, but it cannot erase the fact that the #dispute continues to feature in international diplomacy. The UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir remain part of the historical and legal record, regardless of political objections.

[saba sahar @DrSabaSahar]

@RadioactiveFrnd 🇮🇳 took the Jammu & Kashmir issue to the UN in 1948, recognizing its international dimension. The dispute remains on the UN agenda and continues to have implications for regional peace & security. Diplomatic objections cannot rewrite history or change established realities.

[azfar bilal @AzfarBilalCISSS]

@RadioactiveFrnd 🇮🇳's rejection of the joint statement by EU &🇵🇰 cannot change ground facts. Jammu & Kashmir is disputed territory since 1948 &🇮🇳 itself took the issue to the UN. 🇮🇳 will have to give the right of self-derermination to the people of J&K & end its illegal occupation @kajakallas #UN

[Hafsa Azam @Hafsa_RO_CISSS]

@RadioactiveFrnd The situation in IIOJK remains a critical issue with political, security & humanitarian implications. A lasting solution requires meaningful dialogue, respect for international commitments, & efforts that advance peace, stability & the well-being of the people of IIOJK.

[Zishan Hyder @ZishanHyder1]

@RadioactiveFrnd #Jamu_and_Kashmir is an internationally recognised dispute under relevant UN Security Council resolutions. India's unilateral rejection of these realities cannot alter the established legal and historical status of the issue. #Kashmir #UNSC #SouthAsia

[ALIHAMZA @AHAMZACISSS1]

Diplomatic objections cannot rewrite history. Jammu & Kashmir has remained on the UN agenda since 1948 as an obligation that 🇮🇳 needs to fulfill & continues to have implications for regional peace & security. Lasting peace lies in constructive engagement & a just resolution, not in denying established realities.

[Sadia Memon @SadiaMemonCISSS]

@RadioactiveFrnd Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute, and no amount of "categorical rejections" will make the global community look away. Trying to silence diplomatic talk only shows India's fear of international scrutiny. #EU #India #Pakistan #Kashmir

[Radioactive Friends @RadioactiveFrnd]

#NewDelhi can reject statements, but it cannot reject reality. #JammuandKashmir remains an internationally recognized #Dispute, and attempts to silence discussion only highlight India's discomfort with global scrutiny of its policies in the region.
