By Uzma Ehtasham At a moment when the Middle East appears to be edging towards a wider conflagration, the coordinated diplomatic intervention by Pakistan and China offers a reminder that even in the most volatile circumstances, the language of restraint has not entirely vanished. The meeting in Beijing between Wang Yi and Ishaq Dar was not merely another routine exchange between allies; it was an attempt to reassert a framework for de-escalation at a time when events on the ground are moving in the opposite direction. Their five-point proposal reads as both a restatement of established international norms and an…

Dr. Zafar Iqbal In the context of Israeli aggression, American-Israeli machinations, and the state of invasion, Iran’s expectations and the response of Muslim countries represent a perplexing situation that reveals the strategic expanse of American and Zionist influences. In this regard, Iran’s ambassador to Bangladesh has expressed his dissatisfaction in somewhat open words. He has complained that a clear condemnation was expected from a brotherly Muslim country, but the silence is painful. Following such an expression, Bangladesh’s diplomatic strategy has come under question, where Dhaka’s cautious and ambiguous stance on the issue of American attacks on Iran has displeased Tehran.…

The fragile choreography of diplomacy around Iran appears once again to have faltered, exposing not only the limits of regional mediation but also the enduring rigidity that defines the relationship between Tehran and Washington. A report in a prominent American newspaper has cast a long shadow over recent efforts led by Pakistan and other regional actors, suggesting that what was once framed as a tentative opening has instead hardened into yet another impasse. At a moment when the stakes could scarcely be higher, the failure to sustain even the appearance of progress speaks to a deeper structural deadlock that continues…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak The government’s latest attempt to cushion the public from a deepening economic shock reflects both urgency and constraint, a balancing act that has come to define Pakistan’s policymaking in times of crisis. As tensions in the Middle East continue to disrupt global energy markets, the administration led by Shehbaz Sharif has moved to present itself as both responsive and protective, even as the scale of the challenge threatens to overwhelm the very measures designed to contain it. At first glance, the relief package appears expansive. Public transport has been made free in key urban centers, including…

The world teeters once more on the edge of catastrophe, and the latest tremors from the Middle East feel all too familiar, like a grim rerun we cannot switch off. Pakistan’s foreign ministry has issued a stark warning: unless this spiraling crisis is reined in now, its shockwaves will crash far beyond the region’s borders, threatening global peace and the fragile scaffolding of the world economy. In moments like these, a ceasefire isn’t some polite diplomatic flourish—it’s a desperate necessity, the only thing standing between ordinary people and wholesale devastation. This latest flare-up hits at a time when we might…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Medicine has long been regarded as a messianic vocation, a sacred covenant between the healer and the afflicted, wherein the physician serves not merely as a practitioner of science but as an instrument of divine mercy. The restoration of health, in this noble understanding, is not solely the outcome of pharmacological intervention or surgical dexterity, but a manifestation of the will of Allah, bestowed through those endowed with knowledge, compassion, and fortitude. Across civilizations, the medical profession has commanded reverence, for it demands both intellectual rigor and moral excellence, a rare confluence that elevates its adherents…

By Dr. Zawwar Hussain In an age where humanity is increasingly accused of waging a relentless war against nature, a quiet yet revolutionary transformation is taking shape above the scorched and barren landscapes of the Earth. From the fire-ravaged forests of China to the arid lands of Africa, from affected regions across Europe and Asia to the blazing mountain ranges of America, advanced “forest drones” are taking flight, dispersing seeds of life across wounded terrain. This is not a work of fiction but a living scientific reality, where artificial intelligence, ecological insight and human determination converge to revive a dying…

By Atiq Raja There is a peculiar stillness to the early hours of the day, a kind of quiet that feels increasingly rare in a world calibrated for constant noise. Before the hum of traffic swells, before inboxes begin to fill and screens demand attention, the morning offers something both simple and profound: a moment of unclaimed time. It is in this narrow but powerful window that the shape of the day, and perhaps something larger than that, begins to take form. Much of modern life encourages reaction rather than intention. The day often begins not with a deliberate choice…
