Muqtada al-Sadr on camera. US troops in Iraq.
He said he has no position. Stay or leave — he does not care.
There is a fatwa, he said. When the enemy is too big, jihad is dropped.
A force you cannot beat — you do not fight it.
Do not call it occupation. Do not call it liberation.
Look the other way.
Then the line: God used the coalition to free them from Saddam.
The same man whose movement later sold “resistance.”
On that day he said the occupier was a tool in God’s hand.
Neutral. Neither for nor against. As if the troops were not there.
Against the British they had a stance.
Against the Americans who removed Saddam they had a fatwa to sit down.
IRAN HAS INFORMED THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT IT WILL OPEN THE BLOCKED STRAIT OF HORMUZ "WITHIN SEVEN DAYS" IF IT ACCEPTS DEMANDS SUCH AS LIFTING THE US MILITARY BLOCKADE OF IRANIAN PORTS, ACCORDING TO A SENIOR IRANIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL ON THE 22ND. WITH IRAN'S CRUDE OIL EXPORTS VIRTUALLY HALTED DUE TO THE PORT BLOCKADE, IRAN IS TRYING TO BREAK THE PROLONGED STALEMATE BY MAKING THIS MOVE. - KYODO
Entirely believable. For it was the IRGC that had sheltered Indian spy 'Kulbushan Yadav' in a protected compound in Iran according to journalist Adrian levy.
IRGC continues to harbour Pakistani Baloch separatists while crying when Pakistani intelligence supports Iranian Baloch separatists like Jaysh Al Adl as a counter measure.
As fighting intensifies in Yemen and spills across its borders, who are the main players in the conflict? Here's what to know about the Houthis and Yemen’s internationally recognised government — and who backs whom.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
The framing by the chief minister of Pakistan’s most populous and most powerful province is revealing.
This language of “Punjab” versus “other provinces” reinforces the very sense of superiority that has long fuelled provincial resentment.
It also brings to mind Shehbaz Sharif’s 2010 appeal to terrorists to spare Punjab. At a time when national unity is needed on terrorism, it is extremely inappropriate to issue such a statement.
Who the hell is leaning on USDJPY tonight? Down another 0.5% despite wider US/Japan yield spreads and rangebound oil prices. Sending a fake risk-on signal to stock and metal markets.
"Investor protection is not an FIR eight years later. It is a system capable of recognising red flags early, acting decisively, preserving assets and stopping the damage before billions are lost."
I applaud the PM @CMShehbaz firing 8 people related to PIMS tragedy esp the Executive Director, and for insisting they be tried as criminals. Here’s the list of every one fired:
ایگزیکٹیو ڈائیریکٹر پروفیسر ڈاکٹر عمران سکندر
جوائنٹ ایگزیکٹیو ڈائیریکٹرز ڈاکٹر مطاہر شاہ
چوہدری ڈاکٹر اویس علی شاہ
نیونیٹل ڈیپارٹمنٹ کی سربراہ پروفیسر ڈاکٹر سعدیہ ریاض
سینئیر رجسٹرار ڈاکٹر نغم
ڈاکٹر نوشیلہ امجد
اسسٹنٹ ڈائیریکٹر سیکیورٹی پمز محمد عثمان
سی ڈی اے کے ایمرجنسی سروس کے ڈی جی ڈاکٹر عبدالرحمن
I talked to someone at PM Office day before yesterday and they said the PM was absolutely livid. So I had an inkling something was coming. Now we need to make sure the trial happens quickly and punishments are given quickly.
@SNGPLofficial whom to contact. Road have been excavated by SNGPL and it was left unattended for the last 5 days? Causing public inconvenience and nusiance? Where to complain
@CSKPOfficial@DCCharsadda The issue hasn't been resolved. It is, as it was. The attempt was insufficient. Pl direct relevant authorities to resolve this long standing issue, atleast 5 6 years old and is exacerbating. District authorities just have resolve this drainage issue.
@DCCharsadda@CSKPOfficial Either the drain should be opened/extended up to its connection with the main drain, or a proper raised bankment should be constructed to prevent overflow, along with controlled field inlets with shutters.
We need a permanent civil-work solution
