| Pakistan’s Objectiveless Military Aggression Against Afghanistan | | and the Future of the Region | 
By Fatima Baloch
Every military operation and war generally has certain strategic objectives. However, just like the 1965 war and the Kargil conflict, Pakistan’s military operations often lack clear strategic objectives during wartime. This frequently leads to failure, heavy military casualties, and embarrassment, and Pakistan continues this legacy both in external wars and in internal military operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out an attack in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2026, in which seni... |

Khamenei was killed at his office in a joint operation known as "Operation Epic Fury". Several other high-ranking officials, including the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the defence minister, were also killed.

| | Israeli-American attack on Iran:A prelude to the destruction of the Middle East | | |
Asad Mirza
The latest attacks by Iran and Israel on each other heralds a horrific and decisive phase in the verbal duel between the two. It is no longer just a traditional fight of words between two countries, but is leading to a permanent change in the geographical and political map of the Middle East.
1. From historical background to direct confrontation
For almost four decades, Israel and Iran have fought a "shadow war" against each other, which included cyber-attacks, targeted killings and proxy wars. However, the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, 2024, and then the first Iranian attack on Israel from its territory with hundreds of drones and m... |

| | Israel’s aggression Continues Unabated in West Bank | | |
Asad Mirza
Israel unabatedly continues its expansionist policy in the West Bank. The US, United Nations and several Arab states have criticised Israel as it expands powers in the occupied West Bank by allowing Jewish Israelis to buy West Bank land directly, and extending greater Israeli control over areas where the Palestinian Authority exercises power.
A White House official has reiterated Donald Trump’s opposition towards Israel annexing the West Bank, after Israeli plans were announced that would pave the way for more settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
The measures, announced on Sunday (February 8), included allowing Jewish Israelis to buy West Bank land ... |

While presenting the budget for FY 2026-27, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman earmarked a record ₹7.85 lakh crore allocation for the county’s defence sector, post-Operation Sindoor.

By Fatima Baloch
War is never a desirable option; however, history demonstrates that nations are sometimes compelled to resort to military action in the pursuit of peace, sovereignty, and national security. India’s experiences in 1965 and 1971 underscore this reality. Whenever issues of territorial integrity, national dignity, and security have been compromised, India has demonstrated a willingness to bear significant sacrifices in defense of its national interests and honour. These conflicts, though costly, ultimately reshaped the regional order and contributed to long-term stra... |

| | Pakistan Damaged Islam and Involved in Muslim Genocide By Fatima Baloch | | 
By Fatima Baloch
Pakistan was created by the British in the name of Islam, but Pakistan has little to do with Muslims or Islam. Instead, it has consistently served British and U.S. strategic interests against Muslims. With British support, the Muslim League was established in Dhaka in 1905 in opposition to the Indian National Congress (INC). The British encouraged Hindu–Muslim riots to sustain their colonial policy of “divide and rule” and to advance their scheme of creating Pakistan in the name of religion. While British authorities executed Indian freedom fighters and imprisoned ... |

Asad Mirza
The US President Donald Trump has ordered US withdrawal from 66 international organizations including 31 UN entities and 35 non-UN bodies, targeting climate, human rights, and gender equality institutions. The administration characterizes these organizations as serving globalist agendas contrary to American interests. However, this mundane decision leaves the field open for countries like India to revitalise and reform the UN and push the Global South leading the international body.
US President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order directing the United States to withdraw from 66 international organisations, calling them "anti-American" and contrary to US ... |
