On 13 September, an MSF bus carrying 10 humanitarian staff in Gaza City was damaged by an Israeli airstrike on a targeted vehicle just two metres away. One of our colleagues was injured in the strike.
The bus was clearly identified as an MSF vehicle, with a large MSF sticker visible on its roof. Once again, Israeli forces have shown a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical personnel.
Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Civilians, healthcare workers and humanitarian staff must be protected. Clearly marked medical and humanitarian vehicles must be spared from attacks.
The US and Iran are closing in on a critical memorandum of understanding mediated by Pakistan. The draft aims to establish a framework toward officially ending the current war.
President Trump responding about the image he posted which seemed to depict him as Jesus,

There has been a lot of hue and cry as to why the government did not provide enough information to local journalists on the Iran-US talks.
Well, it’s not the government’s job to help journalists. The govt was doing what it was supposed to do.
For local journalists not being able to report as desired by many, it has to do with their own capacity or lack of it.
In Pakistan, there is no concept of specialised reporting. Today, you are giving weather updates, tomorrow, you are assigned to cover the FO briefing and the next morning the Parliament session.
To report on Iran-US talks, one needs a far broader understanding of geopolitics, the intricacies within, and several other factors.
And this requires a lot of study, homework and expirence.
Why do our local journalists struggle to report Islamabad talks when little or no information is available Because they were looking at the event only through Pakistan’s lens.
Met several foreign journalists during the talks, and you know what? Most of them were Iran or Middle East experts with extensive experience in reporting.
So those media outlets don’t just deploy their primetime anchors or irrelevant people to cover every event.
Lastly, in any profession, the key is to set your own goals, work on your skills and enhance your capacity.
If journalists are relying on the government to help with their assignments, then perhaps they should consider leaving this job.

For decades, the routine was simple: Pakistan’s markets would crash, and the PM would go on a "friendship tour" to world to secure the bag. In April 2026, the roles flipped. The US and Iran were staring each other down, oil prices were higher than a kite, and global markets were doing a swan dive—until the "Islamabad Accord" dropped. Suddenly, the world was dependent on Pakistan for geopolitical liquidity.
From "Bailouts" to "Bailing Out the World"
If you told a Wall Street trader in 2023 that their portfolio's survival would one day depend on a tweet from Islamabad, they would have laughed you out of the room and offered to buy you a therapy session. Yet, here we are in 2026.
