Atharminallah's dissenting note leaves no room for doubt; he is a politically motivated judge, clearly favoring Imran Khan. It is evident that he is incapable of dispensing fair justice and his rulings are likely to be biased towards Khan's agenda, thus making him undeserving of the role of an SC Judge. The Judge's credibility has been irreparably damaged due to the note, necessitating an inquiry and termination by the SJC.

ایران و پاکستان در آرمان‌ها و امیدهای خود اشتراکات عمیقی دارند. تلاش بی‌دریغ پاکستان برای گسترش صلح در منطقه ریشه در فرهنگ غنی این کشور دارد.
در سفرم به پاکستان به منظور تقدیراز میانجیگری‌های پاکستان، درباره گسترش تعاملات با برادرانم آصف زرداری، شهباز شریف و عاصم منیر ص��بت کردیم.

A year ago, when Israel launched its campaign against Iran and the US later joined in, Pakistan's Army Chief was invited to the White House in the middle of the war.

At the time, many were skeptical. Some in Pakistan even feared Islamabad might be used as a launching pad against Iran.

Those fears proved completely misplaced.

The outcome was the exact opposite. Today, there is a genuine belief in Tehran that Pakistan's support helped Iran navigate one of the most difficult periods in its recent history. Instead of being used against Iran, Pakistan leveraged its access to the Trump administration to advocate diplomacy and help ease tensions.

That is precisely why President Masoud Pezeshkian has chosen Islamabad as his first foreign destination since the war.

And there is symbolism here too. Few countries today can so openly display warmth towards Iran. Islamabad's streets are adorned with Iranian flags and portraits of the Iranian leadership. Had any other country done the same, it might have faced criticism from Washington and its Western allies.

Pakistan, however, has managed to maintain strong ties with both sides.

As JD Vance put it, "We love Pakistan," while the Iranian President arrives in Islamabad to personally thank Pakistan.

That says a lot about the balancing act Pakistan has pulled off.

Watching Turkey’s game of feel the similar enthusiasm which I feel when Pakistan plays. Indeed Turkey 🇹🇷 is in our hearts and we pray for its victory

[Ishtiaq Ahmad @ahmadishtiaq]

Not something one hears every day.

"The world must help develop Pakistan's economy... Pakistani leadership deserves a Nobel Peace Prize," says the former UN weapons inspector.

"Pakistan has done what the British once used to do," remarks a former British envoy, seemingly envious of Islamabad's improbable success in helping mediate the Iran conflict.

Thank you Prime Minister and Field Marshal for making us a proud nation !

Wow 🤯🇹🇷

Turkish President reveals Pakistan defeated Israeli Evil Plans to divide people

“The plans to set brother against brother failed. Attempts to create discord among Turks, Arabs, Kurds, and Persians ended in failure.”

I'm extremely pleased that a peace deal, or at least a framework has been agreed between the US and Iran. Well done to Pakistan, our PM, Interior Minister and Field Marshal who tirelessly Quarterbacked the mediation efforts. Lots of thanks to Qatar, Turkey, KSA, Bahrain and the UAE.
This disastrous campaign had to end. A war of a terrible choice by the US President, who was dumb enough to be duped into it by the Israeli PM. A horrible miscalculation which has ended up weakening the US militarily, economically and geopolitically. The US President is touting a potential deal which is far worse for the US than the one that was in place which he chose to walk out from, again, at the behest of Israel. What can you expect from a man who has bankrupted businesses all his life?

In my opinion there are two clear winners, and two clear losers from this war. Everyone else is on a wait and see holding pattern.

Clear winners: Iran and China. Iran, despite the loss of thousands of civilian lives, damage to military, and other losses, defied, defeated and forced the greatest war machine in the history of mankind to desperately negotiate the end of the war. There is no denying this and there is no grey area here. They are going to walk away from this sanctions free, with their frozen funds, and military strength in the region. Iran has won BIGLY.
China has established itself as the World superpower. Of course, the peace deal that everyone is celebrating could not have come about without Beijing’s go ahead. China will be where the world looks to for direction going forward. THe future is not about military might. It is about commerce, development, and sustainability. China can answer those questions. The US cannot.

Clear losers: Ive mentioned the US. Israel is in a worse position. No matter how many civilians it kills in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is not being viewed as a military power. Iran proved that over and over again in the last few months. There are no fighter jets or bombs or missiles that can counter the genuine disdain and contempt that the World has for Israel. No amount of AIPAC paid war mongering Senators or Zionist celebrities will help. And the view particularly inside the US has turned against this rogue, genocidal State. The future for Israel is bleak. The World celebrates Israel’s failures. And Israelis have no one to blame but themselves.
Everyone else is in strange and difficult positions.
Pakistan: has to somehow ensure that their huge diplomatic victories, translate into long term economic gains. That we become an investment destination along with being an international player. International Investment is far more valuable than International praise. Otherwise, there is no real progress.
GCC: Have to come to terms about the reality of Iran. Must learn to co exist with a sanctions free and militarily dominant Iran. It was smart of UAE to release Iranian funds in the last few days. KSA, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait will need to also stand with Iran going forward.

EU: Are in a bind clearly about whether to continue aligning themselves with a failing and bumbling United States, or to look towards the East. I think its a choice between Politics and Economic survival. And the Europeans will invariably take the worst decision possible.

Russia: Any advantages or gains from the US defeat are limited because of their own ongoing costly campaign in the Ukraine. If they are also to position themselves are the major world player in energy and geopolitics, they need to end their own war too. Otherwise, this will be a huge opportunity squandered.

India: despite the economy and the market, it has proven that its not a serious player on the International Stage. There is a shift that's desperately needed. Modi doctrine is on its last legs. And the struggling Indian Economy and their irrelevance on the World stage is proof.

On the whole its a good day. Let there be peace in the region, especially for the people of Iran, Gaza and Lebonan.

Well played Pakistan. We need similar resounding victories on the economic front now.

[Caitlin Doornbos @CaitlinDoornbos]

The US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding will be signed Friday in Switzerland, the prime minister of Pakistan announces.

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.

We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.

With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

The US, Israel and Iran have all bumbled through this war and missed opportunities, but Pakistan deserves great credit for consistently working very hard as an intermediary for peace between capricious and obdurate enemies. Bravo, @CMShehbaz and COAS Munir.

[Muneeb Farooq @muneebfaruqpak]

A moment of immense Pride for the Entire Pakistani Nation. Alhumdulillah Pakistan stands as the epitome of Peace at the Global Stage.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister @CMShehbaz aka Wonderful Boy & the Indelibly Courageous Filed Marshal CDF Syed Asim Munir have done a fantastic service not only to the concerned Parties but to the entire world.

May Pakistan 🇵🇰 rise from strength to strength. Aameen. 🇵🇰
