Representatives of #China, #Pakistan and #Afghanistan held week-long informal talks in Urumqi, Xinjiang from April 1 to 7. The delegations of the three sides include representatives from authorities in charge of foreign affairs, defense and security.

The Afghan and Pakistani sides reiterated that they follow the purposes and spirit of the UN Charter and the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, stay committed to resolving differences as soon as possible, work for the turnaround of Afghanistan-Pakistan relations, and agree to refrain from actions that may escalate or complicate the situation.

The two sides commended and thanked China for the mediation effort and thoughtful arrangement as the host country of the talks. They also expressed appreciation for China’s fair and just position and utmost effort.

The three sides agreed to discuss a comprehensive plan to resolve issues in the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and identified the core and priority issues. All sides believed that the Urumqi process is substantive, and agreed to maintain communication and dialogue.

Statement on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

The one who claimed to stand for global peace targeted schools, hospitals, stadiums and cultural heritage sites with ruthless attacks. In one instance he massacred over 160 children in Minab. Anyone who sees such atrocities and stays silent is a passive accomplice to the criminal

Spain has decided ⁠to withdraw its ⁠ambassador to Israel, according to ‌the official state gazette, amid rising diplomatic tensions and criticism of US-Israeli actions in Iran.

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth:

“Terrorist regimes target civilians, we do not.”

According to UNICEF the U.S. has already hit 20 schools, 10 hospitals, and killed over 1,300 civilians including 300 children.

So by Hegseth’s own logic the U.S. is a terrorist regime.

[Masoud Pezeshkian @drpezeshkian]

Talking to leaders of Russia and Pakistan, I reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to peace in the region. The only way to end this war—ignited by the Zionist regime & US—is recognizing Iran’s legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm int'l guarantees against future aggression.

[Amock_ @Amockx2022]

US 🇺🇸: Give us your air bases to attack Iran

Spain 🇪🇸: "We won't give" 🔥

US 🇺🇸: We will suspend the trade deal

Spain 🇪🇸: "Do whatever you want" 🔥

US 🇺🇸: Spain is ready to coordinate with US

Spain 🇪🇸: "No we aren't, stop lying" 🔥

Meet Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez the man with spine and courage who became a hero for millions of people with his decisions

🇮🇷 When Iranians hear a bomb falling, they don’t flinch or cower in fear.

✅ Just the opposite, they grow more unified & determined to win AT ANY COST.

❌ Trump doesn’t understand this…

While Maryam Nawaz has closed educational institutions to conserve fuel & resources, she has her hand wrapped around a $20,000 Birkin & her ass on an $11 million jet going for Umrah. The government cannot afford to keep schools open, but can afford private jets, luxury handbags & religious tourism on public money.

🚨 SOMETHING BIG JUST HAPPENED

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, just BLOCKED withdrawals.

Investors tried to pull $1.2 BILLION from its $26B private credit fund.
BlackRock said NO and capped withdrawals at 5%.

Nearly HALF the investors who wanted out were denied their money.

At the same time, Blackstone faced record withdrawals and had to inject $400M of its own cash.

When the BIGGEST funds on Earth start limiting withdrawals, it is a MAJOR WARNING sign for the entire $1.8 TRILLION private credit market.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran's firing $20,000 drones. America's shooting them down with $4 million interceptor missiles.

That math only works for so long.

Since the war started, Iran's launched 500+ ballistic missiles and 2,000+ drones.

The U.S. has intercepted hundreds. Burning through THAAD, Patriot PAC-3, and SM-3 interceptors at unsustainable rates.

During last year's 12-day conflict, the U.S. consumed 25% of its THAAD stocks. This war's already potentially fired more in under a week.

America produces roughly 600 Patriot missiles per year. Iran just made us use nearly a year's worth of production in days.

Iran knows this. Their Defense Ministry said March 3 they've "prepared for a prolonged confrontation." They're not trying to win the missile exchange. They're trying to drain the magazine.

Trump's right about having unlimited munitions... for JDAMs and basic bombs. Production's strong there.

The problem? Interceptors defending U.S. bases from Iranian retaliation. Those are running critically low. And they can't be restocked in days; production timelines are 1-3 years.

This is economic warfare. Iran spends $20k. America spends $4 million. Every interception is a win for Iran's budget and a loss for America's stockpile.

The side that runs out of interceptors first has to start letting missiles land.

That's the clock nobody's talking about publicly. And it's ticking faster than anyone wants to admit.
