listen to Tucker Carlson please.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Tucker Carlson exposes the terrifying power of the Zionist lobby in the UK. He confirms prominent politician Jeremy Corbyn was completely driven out of public life simply because he opposed Israel.

The entire British political establishment is bought and paid for!

Hundreds of people gathered to mourn at least eight members of one displaced Lebanese family who were killed a day earlier when an Israeli airstrike hit the building where they were sheltering with no advance warning. https://t.co/trEcfyUTEP

We are not obsessed with Israel

[Imran Ali @reflectiveimran]

Excellent analysis by Ali

[Ali Warsi - 阿里·瓦尔西 @thealiwarsi]

Why do people fail to see that Sadanand Dhume is just another card-carrying member of the thriving cottage industry of “South Asia experts” whose entire professional identity seems to orbit Pakistan? The performance is always the same: play liberal, but never forget to pivot straight back to the same tired, Congress-era biases.

For years, they dined out on the narrative of Pakistan as the global outlier. Economically doomed and diplomatically isolated. Now that this isn’t the case, especially on the foreign front, they’re scrambling to keep the old storyline alive. Because heaven forbid the subject of their obsession ever changes to anything else, let alone serious analysis.

And it’s not just them. The noise is absolutely relentless. Islamists online want Pakistan to hand nukes to Iran or start World War III for sport. Liberals want Pakistan to bomb Iran and cozy up to Israel. Meanwhile, no one’s asking Italy, Spain, or France to “clarify their stance” every five minutes. But Pakistan? Apparently we’re everyone’s favorite geopolitical Rorschach test.

Arnab tells Saudis that Pakistan is not a reliable ally because it doesn't want to fight with Iran. He tells Iranians Pakistan can't be a trusted mediator because it has a pact with Saudi Arabia.

Dhume tells American audience Pakistan is an illiberal country 'obsessed' with Israel.

Rajdeep's mental gymnastics are the most amusing of all. He thinks Pakistan is mediating on behalf of China AND the United States simultaneously.

Yet somehow, we’re the ones ‘obsessed’.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the fixation isn’t ours? Maybe it’s the endless need to project every regional hang-up, every ideological insecurity onto Pakistan. Because clearly, we’re not the ones writing think pieces, hosting primetime rants, and spinning conspiracy theories around ourselves 24/7.

And this whole Israel angle? It’s almost comical. Pakistan doesn’t recognize Israel, doesn’t engage with it, and yet somehow we’re “obsessed.” Meanwhile, India is willing to ditch a time-tested ally in Iran’s mullahs and is openly aligning with Israel for tech transfers and diplomatic leverage against Pakistan in the US, but sure, let’s keep pretending Pakistan is the one with the fixation.

As for mediation, yes, Pakistan is trying. Not out of some grand delusion, but because someone has to at least attempt diplomacy while others are busy rebranding it as ‘pimping’. You’d rather the world burn than watch Pakistan putting out the fire.

Honestly, I wish it were just obsession. Obsessions can be treated. But when the obsession is monetized, and props up entire careers, that’s a different beast altogether.

Greed, unfortunately, doesn’t come with a cure.

[Namita @namitathapar]

I left for bombay at 6.30 am like the hard working professional that I am & stopped the car at 7 am to make this reel as I’ve long realised that silence is not a virtue & one must speak up when they are disrespected. Yes if wrong things happen at any workplace that are against basic human rights, me & all of us should speak up. I don’t care about the personal trolling, I’m used to it last 5 years since shark tank but the purpose of this reel is to request all the proud Indians in this country to start speaking up when they see something wrong, out of humanity, out of patriotism. Jai hind. Now off to another joyful & complex day at work !

ہم نے ایرانی وفد کو ایئر کور دیا کیونکہ صیہونیوں سے ان کو خطرہ ہو سکتا تھا۔ یہ صرف پروٹوکول نہیں تھا۔ ہمارے AWACS فضا میں موجود تھے، سیٹ��ائٹ نگرانی فعال تھی اور ہمارے پاس مکمل situational awareness تھی، @ejazhaider کی تصدیق

پاکستان صرف امریکہ اور ایران کے درمیان مذاکرات نہیں کروا رہا۔ پاکستان سعودی عرب اور ایران کے درمیان بھی ثالثی کروا رہا ہے۔ سعودی عرب کو پیغام دیا گیا ہے کہ ہمارا ایک معاہدہ ہے اور House of Saud کی حفاظت تو ہم چالیس، پچاس س��ل سے کر رہے ہیں۔ لیکن ایران بھی ہمارے لئے اہم ہے، ہمیں کسی مشکل میں نہ ڈالیں۔

اسی طرح ایران کو بھی پیغام دیا ہے کہ آپ بہت اہم ہیں لیکن سعودی عرب کے ساتھ بھی ہمارے دیرینہ تعلقات ہیں، اور اب تک ہم اس میں کامیاب رہے ہیں۔

یہ جو پاکستانی فوج سعودی عرب میں تعینات ہوئے ہیں یہ ایران سے زیادہ صیہونیوں کے لئے ہوئے ہیں۔ ہم بہت واضح ہیں کہ ہم اس جنگ کا حصہ نہیں بنیں گے۔

Verified. This is a direct quote from Pervez Hoodbhoy's article "Nuking Iran – Might Trump Do It?" in The Friday Times (April 7, 2026). He wrote it as the conclusion, arguing that recent events show nuclear weapons deter attacks on "middle powers and rogue states." The full piece is here: https://t.co/TWXdIB5RUC

"A high-level US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance was prepared on two separate occasions in recent days to travel to Islamabad for direct talks with Iranian officials.
However, both attempts fell through at the last minute after Tehran requested more time for internal consultations and ultimately decided against participating." @Kamran_Yousaf reports

[Husain Haqqani @husainhaqqani]

UAE has now absorbed 2,514 drones (81%) & missiles (19%) — twice Israel’s volume, 47% of all GCC strikes & a third of total Iran-linked regional attacks. It remains steadfast, protecting its citizens and residents, and exercising restraint as a responsible global actor. 🇦🇪

Iran has not refused to take part in a dialogue with US, if it happens in Pakistan, a senior Iranian official has told me rejecting the reports in Western media.

Breaking news: Two U.S. military aircraft were shot down in separate incidents Friday while conducting combat operations against Iran, setting off a search-and-rescue effort that remains ongoing for one missing crew member, U.S. officials said.
