When foreign security umbrellas fail, the region rewrites the rules. From the Mecca Alliance to backchannel diplomacy in Tehran, our latest analysis explores how regional powers navigated kinetic escalation to forge their own order. Full op-ed inside below https://t.co/93WEhJPkvd

Tried to sound like a geopolitical genius on a news channel podcast and compared Pakistan’s strategic role to Abu Bakar from Dar-e-Nijaat. Without missing a beat, the host asked: "So Zaryab is Iran?" Prime Time was a mistake. I'm logging off.😭💀

@Aadiiroy2 That’s child abuse. Any other country would have taken children away from such parents.

This is the picture of the day #COP31. As a Pakistan nothing more makes us happy to see our brothers reunite and strenghten bonds.

President Ilham Aliyev arrived at Expo Center in Antalya to attend COP31 Leaders' Summit.

Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council launches multi-hundred-million private equity fund (75% for Pakistan projects in agri, mining, industry & infrastructure). Consortium of Pakistani & Saudi businessmen pushing bankable JVs, with strong interest in Karachi port upgrades/Maritime Business District and tax-neutral strategic oil storage. Deepening economic + defense ties. You would also see massive Saudi investment in joint defense production (too). Watch this space.

@ZunairaAzhar10 Well done !

With Hasina loyalist Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury under arrest, it’s time to unpack how deep the R&AW net ran. During an award ceremony under the Hasina regime, a prominent Pakistani figure (hint: JQ) was openly offered to work for Indian intelligence. The unraveling has only just begun. These Awami Leaguers are RA&W. Good Bangladesh is taking action.

@ranjha001 Good luck as soon as take our vehicle not as an asset but as a utility tool; we win the game. A lot of people need to unlearn the old realities and adapt to newer realities. Mubarak!

@palepurshankar General Shankar, you forgot the echo chamber built around India where Indians are mocked for being delusional. You know and it and you beat the drums because you would be declared anti national for speaking the truth. Keep delusional. It suits us! Modi Zindabad!

Syria’s foreign minister confirms ongoing talks to join the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement (Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan). A mutual-defense pact (attack on one = attack on all) focused on regional security. Potential expansion watched closely amid connectivity projects like IMEC. Details still developing. #MeccaPact #Syria

So proud of being small part of it.

West Asia—South Asia: Geopolitics of Connectivity and Competition

@PravinSawhney, Director Force Research Institute,

"Finally, on the 31st of August, it is based on the concept of the new world order, but behind that are these two major powers. This is what we need to understand. This is the institution, but it has the support of two major powers. That's the point. So, when I look at Pakistan today, what do I see? Pakistan is already invested. It is part of major institutions that have been created by these two major powers. For example, it is part of the SCO, it is part of CPEC, and it is part of the Compact of... And it is only a matter of time before it becomes part of the Eurasian strategic architecture and the Greater Eurasian Partnership. So, the point that I'm making here is that we need to understand that America is not invested in this area. This is our geography. This is where, through the vision of the new world order, we can prosper through the institutions that have been created by China."

Houthi leader Mohammed Hamid Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the son of militia leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi’s brother, has been killed in airstrikes in #الحديدة Alhumdullilah.

Breaking: Behind the shifting dynamics between Beijing, Moscow, and Kabul lies a critical intelligence red line: intercepted communications revealing backchannel overtures regarding Bagram Air Base. US-Talibans talked over spying over China & possible help to manufacture a proxy against Iran.

[Ali K.Chishti Official @thewirepak]

Inside the backchannel: The bottleneck is not the text of the agreement, it’s the trigger mechanism. Doha is urging the US to unfreeze the funds to initiate phase one, while Washington resists disbursing leverage before the formal execution of the pact. Without simultaneous verification, the sequencing trap persists.

[Ali K.Chishti Official @thewirepak]

@rashedalnam1 Always, Qatar and Pakistan will stand with peace and everyone should be thankful to us for saving the region.

[Ali K.Chishti Official @thewirepak]

Decoding the 7-point diplomatic framework shaping high-stakes regional talks: 1. Domestic enrichment capped at 3.67% on Iranian soil 2. Dilution/down-blending of 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium 3. Lifting of the U.S. naval blockade 4. Unfreezing of $7–10B in Iranian assets 5. Iran leveraging mediation to end the Saudi-Houthi conflict 6. Re-entry of IAEA inspectors to nuclear sites 7. Full reopening of the Strait of HormuzA massive strategic trade-off: non-proliferation milestones in exchange for sanctions relief, maritime unblocking, and regional de-escalation architecture. Geopolitics moving fast.

[Ali K.Chishti Official @thewirepak]

Iran’s strategy of launching the Houthis as an asymmetric counter to the US naval blockade is fully exposed. IRGC direction of their Red Sea advances and attacks is documented. The Houthis remain a persistent force that must be neutralized independently. Any deal with Tehran won’t make them disappear.

@inspirdanalyst That is not the worst part. The worst part is jewellery owners pay less than Rs.1bn in taxation. We have FAILED to tax retailers.

@JavaidShaikh14 Absolutely!

What an amazing lineup for Margalla Dialogue.
