Why isn’t Pakistan experiencing a mass youth-led movement for change, as we’ve seen recently in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and now India? It’s a fair Q; the drivers of these movements-corruption, repression, joblessness, alienation-are very present in Pakistan.
Some thoughts:

⚠️ Breaking: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is warning that the newly announced shipping lane is “unacceptable” and “completely dangerous.”

🔹“A few hours ago, certain authorities announced a new route for ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz without informing or coordinating with the Islamic Republic of Iran. This route is unacceptable and completely dangerous.”

🔹The statement comes a day after Oman and the UN-affiliated International Maritime Organization announced southern temporary shipping corridor to allow hundreds of ships and roughly 11,000 stranded seafarers to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

🔹Hours earlier today, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright claimed 72 ships carrying 20 million barrels of oil had passed through the strait over the previous 24 hours. It comes as estimates from a shipping analyst that about 10 million barrels of oil had transited the new Omani corridor today.

🔹The IRGC says safe passage is only possible via routes approved by Iran and all vessels must coordinate with its navy via international maritime Channel 16 when transiting the strait, warning that ships using unauthorized routes would be dealt with by the IRGC Navy.

🔹“Navigation outside these routes is extremely dangerous and prohibited, and we warn all vessels to strictly refrain from any transit outside the designated routes.”

Dear @EUPakistan do you still think Pakistan should have GSP+ status after attacking journalists like this? I am going to travel to EU and speak to any forum and testify about what is happening to me.

If you want to know why my good friend Imran Khan has been illegally incarcerated and cooling his heels in jail since August 5, 2023, all you have to do is listen carefully to what Captain Pakistan said in this most important interview.

FREE CAPTAIN PAKISTAN.

Isreali media reporting that Netanyahu expects a ceasefire announcement from Trump this Saturday. Translation: Ground invasion coming this weekend.

Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN #HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN @ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained

Netanyahu has come out of hiding to mock Jesus Christ in the most blasphemous way imaginable.

The Christians across the world should learn & understand well. This man and his Zionist ideology are no one’s friend.

A British man offers an emotional apology to Muslims for believing all the falsehoods spread about them.

“I apologize to all the Muslims, I was deceived by their lies for years.”

Is Imran Khan The GOAT Test Captain? #DimaghSeTrivia

There are serious threats to Imran Khan’s health and well-being in Adiala Jail. The #AsimLaw regime is continuing to deny him independent medical care and specialist treatment for his eye condition. His personal physicians have not been allowed to conduct an examination since November of 2024. Imran Khan’s sisters have been refused any contact or in-person meeting for over three months. What are they hiding?

Trump is seeking a quick end to the U.S. military campaign against Iran following the reported killing of Iran’s supreme leader, according to a Ynet piece.

U.S. officials had envisioned a short, four-to-five-day operation aimed at weakening Tehran and forcing it back to the negotiating table.

According to the report, on Saturday night a U.S. official, through a mediator believed to be Italy, conveyed a proposal to reach an immediate ceasefire, potentially within a day.

Iran reportedly rejected the proposal outright.

They killed every single powerful person who was a potential threat to them .

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
