🎓 @KingsCollegeLon. A staunch patriot with an open mind and a traditional soul. My views may be controversial, but they always come from a place of sincerity.
#Statement | The Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Türkiye condemn in the strongest terms the continued and escalating settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including recent attacks on the Grand Mosque in the village of Jiljilya and Al-Farouq Mosque in the village of Mazar’a al-Nubani, north of Ramallah.
JD Vance is not changing the conversation about Israel in the US. He is changing the entire paradigm:
He is reminding the Israelis that they are alone and - though he doesn't use this word - much disliked internationally. Israel should not undermine the only strong friend they have left.
"If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have left."
And, he is reminding them of their utter dependence on the United States.
Because 2/3 of the weapons that have protected Israel (!!) "have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars."
As a point of comparison, no one in the Biden admin ever spoke like this about Israel when Netanyahu was blowing through Biden's so-called red lines on Gaza...
Can't stop thinking about the fact that there's a Pakistani Panjabi movie from 1986 where Hitler survives WW2, runs off to Panjab, settles down with a local wife and raises a son named Hitlar who grows up to be a gangster in rural Panjab.
Beautiful Chaand in Bagh e Jinnah. After so many years saw lots of Jugnu in Lahore. Reminded of the many trips to the Bagh in bachpan, specially in early winter nights of Lahore when the air is smelling of cold. And you would run after Jugnus
این یک سند تاریخی و پیامی از ایران مقتدر است: صلح در سایه احترام متقابل تحقق خواهد یافت.
جمهوری اسلامی ایران به صلح جهانی با حفظ عزت و استقلال، پیشرفت و همکاری منطقهای همواره متعهد و پایبند است.
I am honoured to announce that the historic ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ has been electronically signed today between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Memorandum has been signed by honourable Presidents of both the countries and also endorsed by me as the mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both sides to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Islamabad MoU shall enter into force with immediate effect and as a first step, Islamic Republic of Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade.
I offer my heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution have once again helped end a conflict that could have led to devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the dedication and tireless efforts of the United States negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for their invaluable contributions to this achievement.
I express my profound respect and appreciation to His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran and President Masoud Pezeshkian for their wisdom, foresight and statesmanship in embracing the cause of peace. I also wish to recognize the efforts of the Iranian negotiating team, including Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi and Eskandar Momeni, whose patience, perseverance and commitment to constructive engagement were instrumental in bringing this agreement to fruition.
I would especially like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and constructive engagement of the leadership of the State of Qatar in helping reach this point. I also highly commend the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Türkiye and the Arab Republic of Egypt for their indispensable role and invaluable contributions in this regard.
I would also like to make special mention of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication and instrumental role were critical in facilitating this breakthrough and advancing the cause of peace and regional stability.
May this Memorandum of Understanding serve as an enduring foundation for greater understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the complete region.

اسلام آباد: 18 جون 2026.
وزیراعظم پاکستان محمد شہباز شریف نے اسلام آباد مفاہمتی یاداشت (Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding) پر بطور ثالث دستخط کردئے۔
اسلام آباد مفاہمتی یاداشت پر امریکی صدر ڈونلڈ ٹرمپ اور ایران کے صدر مسعود پزشکیان کے دستخط موجود ہیں۔
After observing past protests and reading about the historical protests and different dynamics of people of all ethnicities with each other.
I feel that the secular model is very hard for a state like Pakistan to endure.
It's very much the religious or Islamic spirit that binds all ethnicities of Pakistan with each other ideologically.
Considering, Pakistan never really had a proper national or concrete national ideology. Absense of religion in state or governance or the secular approach in governance will very much be more chaotic.
Muhajirs brought elite Hindustani Muslim culture & civilized the native🇵🇰. Today they speak our Urdu, eat our Biryani/Nihari/kebabs...drink Rooh Afza&wear Sherwani/kurta/gharara. Entire Pan-Pakistani culture is HMs. They adopted it themselves feeling inferior, no one forced them.
Dr. @majedalansari , Advisor to the Prime Minister and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during the weekly media briefing:
Regarding the role of Qatar in this mediation, we are supporting the Pakistani-led mediation, working within the mediation team in support of the efforts of our brothers in Pakistan.
We must praise the role Pakistan has played to get us to this point, and the role that they will play forward as the main mediator between the US and Iran.
For us in Qatar, we don’t take lightly our responsibility towards regional security.

I can now confirm that Israel formally requested access to the Iran MoU and was denied. A remarkable and highly unusual development between close allies on an issue of such critical national security importance.
This was a historic statement by the Field Marshal S.A.M Manekshaw, he praised the Pakistan army for fighting the war very gallantly in the East Pakistan in 1971 inspite of being out-numbered by 50:1 !
Heart-breaking.
Lt. Taha Shaheed and his siblings are four brothers - all four in the Armed Forces. The youngest a cadet at PMA, the eldest an instructor at PMA. The 4th one couldn't even make it to his brother's funeral since he is serving on an international assignment. Salute to the incredible educationist parents who raised such valiant, selfless sons on top of educating thousands of sons and daughters of the nation. We're eternally indebted. 🇵🇰
