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.... |

The demoralized Pakistan Army, struggling against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in Balochistan, has escalated its conflict with its western neighbor, Afghanistan.

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.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out an attack in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2026, in which seni... |
