Zinedine Zidane sobre Lionel Messi, entre lágrimas tras la final del Mundial.

🗣️ “Ver a Leo Messi llorar me rompe el corazón. El fútbol puede ser increíblemente hermoso, pero también despiadado. Hoy no veo a un jugador derrotado; veo a un hombre que entregó absolutamente todo por su país una vez más.”

“Es fácil celebrar a las leyendas cuando levantan un trofeo, pero las verdaderas leyendas también se reconocen en sus lágrimas. Perder otra final del Mundial deja una herida que nunca desaparece del todo. Solo quienes han vivido ese nivel de presión entienden ese dolor.”

“Habrá quienes recuerden el resultado, pero yo recordaré el coraje. Messi volvió a cargar con el peso de toda una nación sobre sus hombros y luchó hasta el último segundo. Eso merece respeto, no críticas.”

“Leo, levanta la cabeza. Ninguna derrota puede borrar lo que has significado para el fútbol. Hoy lloras porque amas este deporte más que nadie. Y precisamente por eso, millones de personas en todo el mundo lloran contigo. Tu legado jamás será definido por una sola noche, sino por toda una vida haciendo feliz al fútbol.”

🚨 Lionel Scaloni: "I deserve to take the time to decide what I’m going to do.

"I will fulfill the contract until December and then will think what to do.

“This place is incredible. I never imagined I’d be in such a wonderful position.

"It’s very unlikely a group as wonderful as this will ever come together again, and that hurts me deeply.

"I have an idea of what I want to do, but I need to speak with the president first.

It’s difficult to build something as great as this team."

There will never be enough words to thank you for all the joy you’ve given us.

The greatest of all time. Forever grateful for you, Captain.

🗣️ Scaloni: "Messi istediği sürece oynayabilir. Takım arkadaşları onun için her şeylerini verir.

Bana göre o, yeşil sahalara ayak basmış en büyük futbolcu."

[🇦🇷 Selección Argentina ⭐⭐⭐ @Argentina]

¡GRACIAS INFINITAS, MUCHACHOS! No alcanzan las palabras para agradecerles cómo defendieron la camiseta. Nos hicieron llorar, gritar y, sobre todo, volver a creer. ¡Son eternos! 🩵🤍🏆

🚨 BREAKING:

​Spain responded harshly to Israel's statements:

"We are not defaming you, Israel, we are describing you: You are a genocidal and criminal regime."

"You will all be held accountable before the International Criminal Court."

A heartfelt message for Lionel Messi 💙

[Barça Universal @BarcaUniversal]

🚨 Pau Cubarsí: "Sharing the pitch with Messi is a privilege. When I saw him, I thought to myself, is this real? It pains me to see him lose—he's my idol—but if I win, I'm thrilled."

سكالوني ينهار بالبكاء ولم يكمل المؤتمر 😢

"الوصول إلى هذا المكان ليس بالأمر السهل، وللاستمرار فيه تحتاج إلى أشياء كثيرة.

الأهم هو أن تعيد ضبط نفسك من جديد، وأن تنجح في تكوين مجموعة مثل هذه، وهو أمر من الصعب جدًا أن يتكرر."

[🇦🇷 Selección Argentina ⭐⭐⭐ @Argentina]

Tus lágrimas son las nuestras, Capitán 👑🇦🇷

Nos diste las alegrías más grandes de nuestras vidas. Gracias por la entrega, por la magia y por dar la vida hasta el último segundo 🙌

¡Te amamos para siempre, Leo! 🩵🤍

الارجنتين سوف تلعب نهائي كأس العالم لكن هذي المره بدون الرجل الخفي - باولو برونو إسيكيل ديبالا 🩵

أكثر لاعب ارجنتيني مظلوم في التاريخ لان اللي يلعب مكانه ويقوم بادواره هو افضل لاعب بالتاريخ ليونيل ميسي

لن انسى مساهمتك في نهائي لوسيل 2022
والهدف في نهائي الفيناليسما ضد ايطاليا

[FCB World @forcabarca_ar]

👤 لويس دي لا فوينتي:

سأخبركم بشيء مضحك بالحديث عن ميسي

لقد عرفت ليونيل عندما كنت أدرب إشبيلية للشباب ولعبنا ضد برشلونة

فرضنا عليه رقابة فردية في البداية

في الدقيقة 70، قمت بتبديل من يراقبه

في غضون 15 دقيقة سجل في مرمانا أربعة أهداف

Proud Milestone for BTTN Journal

We are delighted to announce that the BTTN Journal has once again been recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan in the "Y" Category under the HEC Recognized National Research Journals (w.e.f. April 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027).

This recognition comes at a time when the HEC has introduced a more rigorous accreditation framework, enforcing stricter policies, quality benchmarks, editorial requirements, and international publishing standards. As part of this process, the HEC has discontinued the recognition of all research journals that failed to meet the prescribed criteria, rules, regulations, and academic standards.

As a result, the number of HEC-recognized national research journals has been reduced from 738 in the previous accreditation cycle to only 249 journals in the latest list. This reflects HEC's commitment to strengthening the quality, credibility, and international standing of academic publishing in Pakistan.

We are especially proud that the BTTN Journal is among the very few HEC-recognized research journals from BUITEMS in Balochistan. According to the latest HEC list, only three journals from the province have secured HEC recognition (Serial Nos. 48, 117, and 195), marking a significant milestone for Balochistan's academic and research community. We hope other academic journals will also be recognized by the HEC.

The BTTN Journal undergoes the HEC accreditation process every cycle and remains fully committed to complying with the HEC Journal & Publications Policy, editorial best practices, publication ethics, and internationally recognized scholarly standards. Our next goal is to further enhance the journal's international visibility through Scopus indexing.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our Editorial Board, reviewers, authors, advisory board, contributors, readers, and the entire BTTN team for their dedication, professionalism, and continued support. This achievement belongs to all of you.

Congratulations to the entire BTTN family on this remarkable success. Together, we will continue to promote quality research and strengthen the culture of scholarly publishing in Balochistan and Pakistan.

دنیا کی کسی بھی مہذب معاشرے میں صحافی یوں مخاطب نہیں ہوتے جبکہ پاکستان میں صوبائی دارلحکومت کے ڈی آئی جی کو گفتگو کرنے پر کتوں کی طرح پڑ جانے والے صحافتی کارڈ گلے میں ڈال کر تشریف لے ائے ہیں

Interesting two articles on India's upgraded version of Cold Start Doctrine (CSD) that was originally conceived in 2004, but it's credibility remained questionable after Pakistan's decision to introduce TNWs as part of the Full Spectrum Deterrence posture.
Hopefully the few 'naysayers' of TNWs in Pakistan would understand why it remains important not to be apologetic on the nuclear issues!
