@Wajahat_PTI_ Such like characters are beyond redemption. They should not be given any importance

@IG_Zahra Who said he is a politician? All he knows about politics is playing up to the boss and boot licking

[Viqar Mahmood Khilji @vkhilji]

@Real_MZubair @fsherjan Definitely the worst chief justice of Pakistan

@ImranRiazKhan Some people are simply unbelievable. They will go to any extent in boot licking

@ZubairAlikhanUN 😢😂🥱
Guess who was in power during the last 3 years?

[Viqar Mahmood Khilji @vkhilji]

@kajakallas No doubt Pakistan is an important regional and trade partner for the EU. So does that absolve the EU from ensuring respect for democracy, human rights, rule of law and justice?

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇰 The ceasefire was announced on April 8, and yeah, if you just read the headline, it sounds like things are calming down.

But then you start connecting the dots, and it feels less like peace and more like a setup.

Behind the scenes, movement was already underway. On March 31, the USS George H.W. Bush left the U.S. with around 90 fighter jets and 6,000 troops onboard. Instead of taking the direct route, it went around Africa, slower, quieter, and now it’s basically about to enter the region.

Then April 16 hits, and the USS Gerald R. Ford passes through the Suez Canal and heads straight into the conflict zone.

At the same time, another group called the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group starts moving in from the Pacific with about 4,200 Marines. These are ground troops trained to land, fight, and hold positions.

And it’s not like this was empty space before. Around 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne, basically rapid-response troops, were already deployed. Another 2,500 Marines and sailors were sitting on the USS Tripoli, which is built to launch helicopters and troops straight into combat zones.

Now pause for a second.

While all this heavy movement is happening, JD Vance is in Islamabad talking peace.

So on one side, you’ve got negotiations.

On the other, you’ve got serious military buildup.

Then the talks fail.

Instead of things easing, the U.S. puts a naval blockade on Iranian ports. That basically means ships trying to enter or leave are stopped. Around 28 ships were forced to turn back. Trade gets hit, pressure goes up, and things tighten fast.

Now zoom out, because this is where it gets big.

There are now 3 aircraft carriers in play, Lincoln, Ford, and Bush. Around 27 warships in total. That’s about 41% of all U.S. naval forces deployed worldwide sitting in one region.

Troops go above 50,000. Normally it’s closer to 40,000, so that jump matters.

Airpower is stacked across nearby countries. F-35s and F-22s, which are stealth jets, plus F-15s and F-16s, all spread across bases in Jordan, Qatar, Israel, and the Gulf.

And here’s something most people miss.

Missile defense systems like Patriot and THAAD are used to shoot down incoming missiles. Reports say the U.S. has already used nearly half of its stockpile.

That’s not something you burn through if things are ending. That’s something you use when you expect more.

Even CSIS is comparing this buildup to Operation Desert Fox in 1998 and the 2003 Iraq invasion. Both started with buildup. Both ended with strikes.

Then April 22 comes in.

Trump gives Iran 3 to 5 days to take negotiations seriously or face attacks again.

Now line that up with the Bush carrier arriving right around the same time.

That timing feels a little too perfect.

At that point, it doesn’t feel random anymore.

The ceasefire looked like a pause.

But when you break it down like this, it starts to feel more like time was used to prepare for whatever comes next.

@MarioNawfal Makes sense. Doesn't look too good for the intermediary/negotiator, Pakistan. Might end up facing the wrath of Iran.

Okay. So what now? Is that the end of the honeymoon?

وزیراعظم نے ٹوئٹ کر کے ان نکات سے اتفاق کیا تھا ، شفقت عباس اور شاہد خٹک کا لقمہ ۔
وزیراعظم اس وقت ٹرانزٹ میں تھے انہیں الہام نہیں ہوا کہ یہ وہ نکات نہیں ہیں ! اسحاق ڈار

@ashoswai Its high time for both countries and their leadership to get mature and stop waging war on and off the field.

Boycott every single product and service of the army business empire. Start with the easiest. Their products placed on retail shelves. All should mow be haram on all of us. If you have an account in Askari Bank close the account. Withdraw your money. Every rupee they make is used to build more power against the people of Pakistan. Exercise your right to choose. Totally within your rights. Must keep escalating to withdrawal of any investments in DHAs. Ostracise every person in uniform.
