The Modern Baloch Nationalism and the Taliban:Comparative Paths to Sovereignty in South Asia
By Fatima Baloch The Baloch are an ancient Kurd-Arab-rooted nation who live on both sides of the borders under Pakistani and Iranian control, as well as in parts of southern Afghanistan where they are relatively well established. Historically, Balochistan was divided primarily due to British colonial interests in the late nineteenth century. This division created buffer zones between the British Indian Empire, Persia (Iran), and Afghanistan through the Goldsmid Line (1871–1896). When British India was partitioned in 1947, the Khanate of Kalat (Eastern Balochistan) declared its indep...

Trump-Xi Beijing Summit Signals a Fragile Reset in US-China Relations
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.

Iran’s Grip on the Strait of Hormuz Will Be Difficult to Break
Asad Mirza The ongoing confrontation between Iran and the United States has brought renewed global attention to the Strait of Hormuz—a narrow maritime chokepoint vital to global energy flows. Despite superior Western military power, Iran’s ability to disrupt, control, and condition access to this corridor underscores a complex strategic reality that resists quick resolution.

Thirty-six years ago, terrorism cruelly took him and his son, Virender Kaul, from us.

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....
