Pakistan’s Crimes Against Muslims and Humanity
By Fatima Baloch 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. On 27 February 2026, it launched a full-scale military campaign, codenamed Operation Ghazab-e-Ilhaq, bombing major Afghan cities including Kabul, Kandahar, and Khost, destroying civilian infrastructure and killing innocent people. Pakistan’s apparent aim is to pressure the Afghan Taliban-led government to act against groups ideologica...

PoK under TTP and India’s Future Security Challenges By Fatima Baloch
By Fatima Baloch Whether it is India in the east, Taliban-led Afghanistan in the west, a religious jihadist ideological insurgency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that is gradually engulfing Pakistan, or the secular Baloch national armed struggle seeking an independent Republic of Balochistan, Pakistan has opened multiple strategic fronts and is now facing grave security and existential threats. For India in particular, the situation carries serious implications. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a jihadist ideological militant organization, has expanded its operational focus into Pakistan-occ...

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...

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.

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.

Asad Mirza 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.

In a decisive push to strengthen national security in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor and focus on indigenous defence production, the Union Budget allocated a record ₹7.85 lakh crore to defence services, marking the highest-ever o...

Indian Armed Forces Prepare for Strategic Sacrifice
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...
