Asad Mirza US President Donald Trump’s high-stakes visit to Beijing for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping has triggered global attention amid worsening geopolitical rivalries, trade tensions and security concerns. While both leaders projected optimism and called for a “new vision” in bilateral ties, deep strategic mistrust remains over Taiwan, technology, military competition and the future balance of global power.

A large banne r displayed prominently in Tehran’s Enqelab Square, declaring that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and the Persian Gulf constitutes Iran’s “hunting ground,” encapsulates the strategic posture adopted by Tehran in the current conflict.

Pope Leo vs President Trump
Asad Mirza Pope Leo’s sharp criticism of war, sectarian manipulation and the political misuse of religion has cast fresh attention on the narratives shaping the US-Israel confrontation with Iran. Speaking in Cameroon, Africa, the pontiff warned against turning geopolitical rivalry into a civilisational struggle between Christianity and Islam, while also highlighting the dangers of deepening Shia-Sunni divisions. His remarks challenge strategic rhetoric that risks transforming a political conflict into a broader religious and identity-based confrontation with destabilising global consequences. Pope Leo has criticised leaders who spend billions on wars and said the world was “bein...

The Elusive Peace Deal
Asad Mirza As expected, the United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal after high-stakes talks in the Pakistani capital, with American Vice President JD Vance saying Tehran refused to accept Washington’s terms after 21 hours of talks in Islamabad. And Iran citing lack of American commitment to the talks. The talks termed as ‘Islamabad Talks’, lasted a full day of negotiations, which ended with a terse three-minute press conference — and without a deal. Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all. The sun had risen in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, by the time JD Vance emerged to brief reporters....
