While Donald Trump postured as a “peace broker” in pursuit of a Nobel Prize, Israel struck Qatar in broad daylight. On September 9, 2025, fifteen Israeli jets and drones unleashed ten precision munitions in an operation brazenly codenamed Fire Summit. The strike, launched from over a thousand miles away, tore into Doha’s West Bay Lagoon district, near the bustling Woqod petrol station. The symbolism was stark: Israel carried its war beyond Gaza, beyond Lebanon, beyond Syria—it reached into one of America’s closest allies, shattering both the illusion of truce and the credibility of U.S. diplomacy. Who Was Marked for Death?…

The name Bagram is more than geography—it is symbolism. Once the fortified heart of America’s longest war, it embodied two decades of global power projection, counter-terrorism campaigns, and military dominance in Central Asia. Presidents walked its halls, drones launched from its runways, and empires clashed at its gates. Today, it stands not as a beacon of strength, but as a haunting reminder of defeat, haste, and squandered strategic depth. When Donald Trump recently spoke of “getting Bagram back,” it wasn’t just a campaign line. It was the resurrection of a debate the Pentagon has tried to bury: did America abandon…
The recent signing of the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement (SMDA) between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is more than just another diplomatic event; it is the dawn of a new power reality in the Muslim world. For decades, security in the Gulf has been at the mercy of Western guarantees—guarantees that have often proven selective, conditional, or outright absent when most needed. Today, Riyadh and Islamabad have taken a decisive step to rewrite that script. This pact is not just about military cooperation; it is about reclaiming agency. The West’s failure to shield Gulf allies during episodes like Israel’s brazen aggression…
The mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, known for their breathtaking beauty, also stand as silent witnesses to the sacrifices of Pakistan’s defenders. On a routine training mission near Hudor village, an Army MI-17 helicopter crash-landed due to a technical fault, claiming the precious lives of five Pakistan Army personnel. Among the martyrs were Pilot Major Atif, Co-Pilot Major Faisal, Naib Subedar Maqbool, Havaldar Jahangir, and Naik Aamir. These names are now etched in the nation’s memory, not just as soldiers, but as guardians who gave their lives in service to Pakistan. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed that the incident occurred around…
The recent events in Kalat, Balochistan, have once again exposed India’s dirty playbook. On 19 July 2025, Pakistan’s security forces launched a brilliant intelligence-based operation that neutralized four armed terrorists belonging to the notorious Indian-backed terror outfit Fitna al Hindustan. Just two days later, a calculated sanitization operation wiped out four more. These were not just routine counterterror ops—they were strategic strikes against India’s undeclared war on Pakistan’s peace. It’s time the nation and the world called this what it really is: India’s cowardly proxy war against Balochistan, executed through terror networks camouflaged as “freedom fighters.” While New Delhi preaches…
ISLAMABAD: The recent martyrdom of 13 valiant soldiers in North Waziristan stands as a stark and painful reminder of the heavy price Pakistan continues to pay to safeguard peace and stability. This brutal attack, claimed by elements belonging to banned outfits, exposes the unrelenting desperation of an enemy increasingly cornered by sustained and determined security operations. The ambush is being seen not as a sign of militant resurgence but as a last, vicious attempt by terror networks to remain relevant in the face of their systematic dismantling. Security experts point to the operation’s context: in recent months, Pakistan’s armed forces,…
MIRANSHAH: Journalists affiliated with North Waziristan’s Press Club have voiced deep concerns over the ongoing suspension of internet services in the region, describing it as a significant impediment to their professional responsibilities and a broader constraint on the free flow of information.

At a gathering marked by measured yet firm resolve, senior correspondents condemned the restrictions that have hampered their ability to report accurately and in a timely manner. They emphasized that their protest…
NORTH WAZIRISTAN: In a renewed and determined push to safeguard the hard-won peace of the region, Pakistan’s security forces are intensifying efforts to strengthen coordination and trust with tribal elders in a bid to eliminate the last vestiges of militancy hiding in remote pockets of North Waziristan. Nearly a decade has passed since the decisive launch of Operation Zarb-e-Azb in 2014, a landmark counterterrorism campaign that dismantled major militant sanctuaries and forced thousands of terrorists to flee or lay down arms. Yet, despite these undeniable gains, the region continues to face sporadic, cowardly attacks designed to destabilize communities and undermine…
PESHAWAR: From Bajaur to Lakki Marwat, violent elements are relentlessly attempting to undermine hard-won peace across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Yet, the state’s resolve remains unshaken and unwavering in the face of these sinister efforts. In Lakki Marwat, Inamullah Khan, the determined head of the Marwat-Bettani Qaumi Tehreek, narrowly survived a devastating improvised explosive device (IED) attack targeting his convoy. Displaying exceptional courage and leadership, he not only retaliated to repel the assailants but also delivered an impassioned appeal to his fellow citizens. He urged the public to stand shoulder to shoulder with security forces and reject the toxic ideology of militancy…
MIRANSHAH: In a tragic and deeply condemnable act of terrorism, respected tribal elder Malik Muhammad Rehman Dawar and his loyal driver were martyred in cold blood as they traveled to participate in a crucial peace Jirga in Razmak. The cowardly and calculated attack occurred near Dawood Pump on the Miranshah-Bannu Road, casting a pall of grief and anger across the region. Authorities have confirmed that this was not a random incident but a meticulously planned targeted ambush designed to sabotage fragile local peace efforts and sow discord among tribal communities. Dawar, a prominent and widely respected figure known for his…
