Mushahid says US attack a war crime
Faisal Sheikh ISLAMABAD, JUN 22 /DNA/ – Prominent Pakistani politician and Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed has strongly condemned recent American attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, labeling them as “willful aggression and a war crime.” In a fiery post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Sayed compared the strikes to the 2003 Iraq War, accusing the U.S. of acting on false pretenses.

Pakistan’s Diplomatic Gambit: A Nobel Bid for Donald Trump
By Qamar Bashir Pakistan has announced its decision to nominate former U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his critical role in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan during their recent four-day conflict.

A vague and baseless accusation that Iran was imminently developing a nuclear weapon. However, that claim collapsed swiftly. In a decisive response, the Director General ofRead More
The Fall of False Giants
by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal War, in its essence, is a tragic manifestation of human failure—failure to resolve differences through dialogue, failure to respect boundaries, and failure to uphold justice. It unleashes horrors upon the innocent and tarnishes civilizations with the blood of the undeserving. Yet, there are rare moments in history when the flames of war, though undesirable, illuminate truths long buried under arrogance, deceit, and unchecked aggression. The months of May and June this year bore witness to such moments—when two long-oppressed regions, South Asia and the Middle East,Read More
Nominating the wrong man at the worst time
Trump remains a polarizing figure internationally, with a legacy in South Asia deeply entangled in transactional diplomacy and broken promises. To nominate him now, in the wake of the Israel-Gaza atrocities, escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, and Trump’s own mounting legal and political controversies, is not just bad diplomacy; it is disastrously timed, further isolating Pakistan from both moral credibility and regional relevance. Abdul Waheed Politics may often be transactional, strategic, and cold. It calculates in currencies of power and speaks in the sterile language of interests. But our perception, what weRead More
