Pakistan’s nomination of Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize has been overshadowed by his administration’s recent military actions, including an unprovoked strike on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz enrichment sites. Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the attacks an unprecedented escalation of tension and violence that violated international law and the U.N. Charter and declared that […]
Pakistan’s recent diplomatic maneuvers appear to have won President Donald Trump’s favor in a way that New Delhi did not, leaving India diplomatically sidelined even as it insists the U.S. played no mediating role in ending May’s flare-up along the Line of Control. In mid-June, Islamabad formally announced it would nominate Trump for the 2026 […]
Pakistan is deepening ties with both the United States and China in a strategic effort to maintain regional influence and security while countering India’s growing presence in South Asia. Army chief Asim Munir traveled to Washington on Sunday for a five-day visit aimed at strengthening military and economic relations. His trip follows May’s military clashes […]
Analysts say the Arakan Army (AA), a powerful non-state armed group operating in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, has emerged as a significant threat to regional stability and Bangladesh’s national security since taking control of nearly the entire Myanmar border with Bangladesh in late 2024. The Arakan Army, led by Twan Mrat Naing, is accused by multiple […]
The centuries-old maxim, “War is deception,” (al-harb khudʿa) attributed to Prophet Muhammad proved prescient when Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear and military sites in early June 2025. With tensions already high over Tehran’s uranium enrichment program and stalled negotiations in Oman, what appeared as routine diplomacy concealed a carefully orchestrated stratagem in […]
Iran’s calibrated strikes in April and October 2024 were meant to signal deterrence, not war. Yet by revealing both the reach and the restraint of its missiles and drones, Tehran may have inadvertently provided Israeli planners with a roadmap for a far more devastating offensive.
India and Bangladesh share deep historical, cultural and economic bonds. Yet tensions fueled by misinformation have prevented the relationship from reaching its full potential. Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus made a clear appeal when he said, “We want to build the best relationship with India. It’s our neighbor. We don’t want to have any kind of […]
Bangladesh’s interim government head said this week that fake news from Indian media outlets is fueling tension between the two countries, undermining efforts to build stable relations. Muhammad Yunus told a London audience on Wednesday that although his government seeks good relations with India, misinformation has repeatedly interfered with diplomatic progress. “But somehow things go […]
Sir Keir Starmer’s refusal to meet Bangladesh’s interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, during his visit to London is more than a diplomatic slight. It risks signaling indifference toward Bangladesh’s effort to recover billions of dollars allegedly looted under the former regime of Sheikh Hasina, some of which is believed to be hidden in the UK. Yunus, […]
The ongoing crisis in Manipur is a serious challenge to India’s democratic values. Curfews, internet blackouts and mass unrest following the arrest of a Meitei leader have again plunged the state into instability. If the government continues to rely on shutdowns and force, it risks deepening the crisis. Internet services across five valley districts remain […]
