By Uzma Ehtasham In recent days, the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has once again underscored the enduring challenge posed by militant networks, highlighting the fragile security environment in one of Pakistan’s most strategically sensitive regions. Across two separate operations in different districts, security forces neutralized a total of 11 insurgents, reflecting both the vigilance of Pakistan’s security apparatus and the persistent threat posed by organized militant groups. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), six of these individuals were killed in an intelligence-led operation in North Waziristan, while five more were eliminated in the Kurram district. These individuals were reportedly…

By Syed Shahmim Akhtar In the early weeks of 2026, President Donald Trump rekindled a geopolitical debate that many believed belonged to a bygone era of great‑power rivalry. At the White House, he asserted that the United States must “acquire” Greenland to prevent Russia or China from establishing a foothold on the vast Arctic island. “If we don’t take Greenland, Russia or China will take it,” he declared, framing the situation as a stark choice between American strategic primacy and unwanted neighbors from abroad. The remark, blunt in its formulation and sweeping in its implications, reflects a worldview in which…

By Dr Abdul Samad Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued a striking warning to U.S. President Donald Trump, framing his fate alongside historical figures such as Pharaoh, Nimrod, and Iran’s former ruler Reza Shah. In a statement circulated on social media on Monday, Khamenei described Trump as a leader consumed by arrogance, attempting to impose his will across the globe, yet cautioned that history demonstrates the ultimate consequences even the most powerful must face. The remarks, blunt in tone and steeped in historical symbolism, have drawn attention not only for their confrontational language but also for the context…

By Atiq Raja Dreams often begin quietly. They emerge in moments of reflection, in sudden sparks of inspiration, or in the quiet ache of longing for something more. For many, they are private affairs, tucked away in notebooks, whispered over coffee, or carried silently in the mind. Yet the path from dreaming to doing is rarely straightforward. People work hard, maintain discipline, and nurture hope, yet they sometimes feel stalled, as if their efforts are moving through molasses. The truth, simple yet overlooked, is that intention alone cannot bring a dream to life. To truly move a dream forward, one…

Pakistan is steadily establishing itself as a formidable presence in defence and defence production, earning recognition on the international stage for the quality and sophistication of its military capabilities. Its growing stature is not accidental. It reflects years of systematic investment in training, technology, and strategic foresight, positioning the country as a credible actor in a region marked by enduring volatility and complex security challenges. The nation’s capabilities were vividly demonstrated on 10 May last year, when the Pakistan Armed Forces responded decisively to Indian aggression through the “Bunyan-e-Marsoos” operation. Military analysts have since described the operation as a model…

By Advocate Syeda Anam Sana Naqvi Pakistan stands at a crossroads, witnessing a quiet yet significant transformation in the role of women in society. Education, professional opportunities, and the pursuit of independence have inspired many women to carve out lives on their own terms, pursuing careers, moving into cities, and living independently. Yet, this very assertion of autonomy brings with it an often invisible but deeply entrenched struggle—a struggle against societal suspicion, legal gaps, and systemic inertia that continue to undermine the safety and dignity of single working women. In a society still negotiating between tradition and modernity, these women…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal From the very dawn of creation, the universe has moved according to a divine equilibrium. Allah Almighty brought into existence innumerable creatures, assigning each its sphere and sustenance. On land, human beings were endowed with intellect, conscience, and moral responsibility; in the oceans, an astonishing diversity of life emerged, numbering in the hundreds of thousands of known species, with many more still undiscovered. Among these aquatic beings, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) stands as the largest fish, gliding through the seas and sustaining itself by filtering vast volumes of water to consume plankton and tiny fish.…
