Iran-Israel war has stopped, who will think about the oppressed Palestinians

        

       With the wisdom of US President Donald Trump, the world was saved from the third horrific World War and the 12-day Iran-Israel war ended. On Monday night, Iranian missile attacks on US military bases in Qatar and Iraq made it seem that the US would attack again with full force in response, but the US President first spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and persuaded him to agree to a ceasefire. Then he spoke to the Emir of Qatar to inform Iran about Israel's readiness and convince it to agree to a ceasefire. At the behest of the Emir of Qatar, Iran also expressed its willingness, after which Iran stopped the war after the initial missile attacks on Israel and Israel also stopped the attacks 12 hours later.

        President Trump has said that if the war had continued, the entire region would have been devastated. Referring to the Iranian attack on the US base in Qatar, he said that Iran had warned us in advance and we had moved our planes and other assets from there to another location. He described the ceasefire as a message of love and prosperity for both Iran and Israel and requested that it not be violated now. In response to the powerful attacks that the US had carried out on Iran's nuclear facilities, Iran targeted US bases in Qatar and Iraq.

          Pakistan took a very balanced stance and expressed concern over these attacks but also declared solidarity with Iran. Pakistan had also expressed serious concern over the US attacks on Iranian installations without naming names. On Monday, the National Security Committee meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, comprising political and military leadership, considered the situation arising from the Iran-Israel war and urged the parties to resolve their mutual disputes through negotiations. It was also expressed that Pakistan would continue its efforts to promote peace between the parties. Pakistan’s response was in line with national interest because if the situation in the Middle East had deteriorated further, serious problems would have arisen for Pakistan, including oil supplies. This was a war that was likely to continue for years. If Israel had had the blessings of the US and Western powers, Iran could also expect the help of Russia and China in addition to Islamic countries.

          A former Russian president had made it clear that Iran could get nuclear weapons from many sides. Before the attack on the US military bases, the Iranian Foreign Minister had gone to Russia, where he also took President Putin into confidence about the war situation. Iran was about to close the Strait of Hormuz, which would have paralyzed the entire global economy. Flights to the countries affected by the war had been suspended, which was causing serious financial losses. Stock markets were shrinking and oil prices were rising. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief with the end of the war. Pakistan's stock market, which had suffered a severe downturn the day before, rose by more than 6,000 points on Tuesday morning.

         The Iran-Israel war has stopped, but many issues require lasting peace. Therefore, negotiations are necessary, for which no action plan has yet emerged. The most important point of humanitarian concern is the plight of the oppressed Palestinians, whom Israel is continuously massacring, and the United States is behind it. The world of humanity should think about the survival of the Palestinians on a priority basis.

Asim Munir Trump meeting, a reflection of America's confidence in Pakistan

     

     This historic visit of Field Marshal Asim Munir is a reflection of the Pak-US relations and the recognition of Pakistan's military leadership at the global level. This meeting indicates the growing confidence and importance of Pakistan's military leadership as a key partner in regional and global stability. In addition, inviting Field Marshal Asim Munir to the White House before any Indian delegation is a clear indication of Pakistan's strategic priority in US foreign policy. The Field Marshal's meeting with the US President is a testament to the fact that the US is well aware of Pakistan's role in maintaining regional stability. An unusual meeting between Field Marshal Asim Munir and the US President could upset India.

     Field Marshal Asim Munir held an important and historic meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House. The ISI Chief and officials of the Trump administration were also present at the meeting. US President Donald Trump also hosted a luncheon in the Cabinet Room in honor of Field Marshal Asim Munir. During the meeting, he briefed the US President on the India-Pakistan war and discussed the peace and security situation in the region. During the meeting, the two leaders discussed in detail the US-Pakistan relations, partnership, the recent India-Pakistan war, the ceasefire, the situation of the Iran-Israel war, Iran's nuclear program and other important global and regional issues.

     Field Marshal Asim Munir became the first Chief of Army Staff in the history of Pakistan to hold a high-level meeting with the current US President Donald Trump and the US Cabinet at the White House, held extensive discussions with the US Cabinet, and left the White House after meeting and having lunch with US President Donald Trump. During Field Marshal Asim Munir's visit to the United States, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pat Hexgath are also expected to meet.

     Speaking to the media after the meeting, the US President said that it was an honor to meet Field Marshal Asim Munir. Trump said that a trade agreement is being negotiated with Pakistan. Both Pakistan and India are nuclear powers. He thanked Field Marshal Asim Munir for not going to war. He had invited him to thank him for stopping the war. He also discussed the issue of Iran with Pakistani officials. When reporters asked Donald Trump about the expected diplomatic results of the meeting with Field Marshal Asim Munir, he said that General Asim has been very effective in preventing tensions between Pakistan and India from Pakistan. Earlier, US President Trump said in a conversation with reporters at the White House that he likes Pakistan very much, which is a major nuclear power and the Pakistan Army Chief is an influential figure in his country and he played an important role in the ceasefire on Pakistan's behalf. He said that we stopped the war between Pakistan and India. 

      Trump added that Pakistanis are very good people, I like Pakistan. The issue of Iran was also discussed with Field Marshal Asim Munir. Pakistan knows Iran better than anyone else and they are not happy with this situation. A trade agreement is being negotiated with Pakistan, while Pakistan's trade agreement was also discussed with the Field Marshal. The meeting of the Army Chief with the US President is being seen as a major diplomatic success in Islamabad.

Big decisions are inevitable!

     Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s speech in Peshawar, in response to questions from journalists and in response to jirga on water resources, clearly shows the inevitability of big decisions for the development and prosperity of Pakistan by sitting together with the leadership of all four provinces. The fact is that India has so far refrained from responding positively to Pakistan’s offer of a transparent investigation into the Pahalgam incident of April 22 at an impartial forum, and has taken extreme measures such as unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, reduction in diplomatic staff, and closure of air and land borders, which have shaken the international community. However, in the early hours of May 7, in the form of air and missile strikes and heavy shelling on the Line of Control, New Delhi’s open aggression in the form of a befitting response, the new state of the military balance in the region became visible to the world. India suffered irreparable losses and many countries had to be active to save the planet from the effects of the clash between two nuclear powers.

    The fact that the path to a ceasefire has been paved in the form of President Donald Trump’s announcement of mediation is a good omen, but in the newly created situation, it has become necessary for Pakistan not only to implement several precautionary measures at home, but also to convey the message to India that whatever the outcome of the war, the warring parties ultimately have to come to the negotiating table and settle their issues. If New Delhi had its hands clean in the Pahalgam case, would it not have taken advantage of the offer of an impartial investigation into the matter? Now, the Prime Minister, while talking to journalists, has given a message to New Delhi that there will be talks at any place on the four key issues of Kashmir, water, trade and terrorism, which has created a form of joint efforts to resolve mutual grievances. South Asia is a region that was once called the golden bird. For the return of the importance and prosperity of this region, the leadership of both countries coming to the negotiating table is not only a requirement of the region but also a requirement of global peace, which will require the facilitation of important countries.

     During Tuesday's engagements, where the Prime Minister announced the good news of the smooth path to the development of the economy in the event of the success of the budget negotiations with the IMF, he also clarified that water is the right of Pakistan, that water will be stored together with the provinces to thwart Indian ambitions, and that the Diamer-Bhasha Dam will be completed soon. The fund allocated for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in NFC will continue until the end of terrorism, a committee will be formed on NFC, the first meeting of which will be held in August. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Governor NWFP Faisal Karim Kundi, Corps Commander Lieutenant General Omar Bukhari, federal and provincial ministers, tribal leaders and other important personalities were present in the jirga held in Peshawar on Tuesday. Addressing the jirga, Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur expressed the strong feelings of unity of the entire nation for the defense of the country and congratulated Pakistanis for giving a befitting reply to the aggression of the cowardly enemy, while the Prime Minister appreciated the patriotism of the tribal leaders regarding the 1947 referendum. He clarified that the Pakistani people have the right to every drop of water under the Indus Water Treaty. It is expected that the efforts of all political forces will be utilized to successfully make the journey of progress on the highway of trial, success and prosperity a success.

Pakistani people are the best, their leaders are great, Modi is my friend in India. Trump

     

          US President Donald Trump has once again taken credit for the ceasefire between Pakistan and India, saying that he brought about a ceasefire between Pakistan and India. Speaking to reporters after meeting South African President Ramaphosa at the White House, US President Trump praised the Pakistan-India ceasefire agreement. Trump once again said that he brought about a ceasefire between Pakistan and India. Speaking to reporters, the US President said that I told Pakistan and India, what are you doing? The problem between the two countries was increasing. The people of Pakistan are the best and their leaders are great, Modi is my friend in India. Trump said that the US is making big deals with Pakistan and India.

It should be remembered that in India, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had completely denied American efforts in the ceasefire between Pakistan and India in the past few days. On Monday, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, while briefing a parliamentary committee, said that the Pakistan-India ceasefire was strictly bilateral, US President Trump had no role in the ceasefire. The Indian Foreign Secretary said that Trump did not ask permission from us to come in the middle, Trump himself wanted to come on stage and he came. It should be noted that on May 10, Donald Trump himself had announced on his social media platform Truth Social that Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire.

           Donald Trump accuses the South African President of genocide against the white minority, also presented evidence

      US President Donald Trump accused the South African President, who is on a visit to the United States, of genocide against the white minority. US President Donald Trump accused South African President Cyril Ramaphosa of genocide in South Africa during a meeting at the White House on Wednesday. Trump showed the South African president and journalists documents, including some photographs, as evidence of the genocide of the white minority and said that white farmers were fleeing South Africa. During this time, Trump also played a video in which some people were shown chanting "Kill the farmer." After showing the video, Trump said that this was evidence that the white minority was being targeted in South Africa. South African President Ramaphosa immediately responded to this, saying that these slogans did not represent government policy. He explained that the South African government is committed to racial harmony and the rule of law.

      Sorry, I don't have a plane to give you, South African President's response to Trump

      During the meeting, South African President Ramaphosa sarcastically told Trump, "Sorry, I don't have a plane to give you." South African Safdar made the plane talk because US President Donald Trump has accepted a luxury plane from Qatar as a gift. It was an unusual meeting between South African President Ramaphosa and US President Donald Trump at the White House. Trump wanted to talk about violence against white people in South Africa, while Ramaphosa wanted to talk about trade. It is worth noting that President Trump and his supporters have repeatedly claimed that genocide is taking place against white farmers in South Africa. However, the South African government has called the claims made by Trump and his supporters false.

Warning to India!

 

       

            The concerned authorities have confirmed that there is no end date set for the ceasefire between Pakistan and India, therefore, there is no need for contact between the Director Generals of Military Operations to extend the ceasefire. On Sunday, rumors were circulating that the expiry date of the ceasefire is May 18, during which the DGMOs could not be contacted for an extension. Therefore, there was a fear that a defeated India could attack Pakistan again at any time to erase its shame. Meanwhile, Pakistan has also decided to intensify diplomacy in response to the campaign launched by India to send delegations consisting of parliamentarians abroad for misleading propaganda in the world.

         Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar reached China on Monday, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit Iran next week. The biggest responsibility in this regard has been entrusted to PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, under whose leadership a high-level delegation will be sent to the US and Europe. The folly of India’s attack on Pakistan under the guise of the Pahalgam false flag has resulted in this good side that the US President has drawn the world’s attention to it by offering himself to mediate on the Kashmir issue and has highlighted the need to resolve the root cause of tension between Pakistan and India, which India was trying to suppress. The British Parliament has also stressed the need to resolve the issue and has asked its government to adopt a balanced stance in consultation with the Kashmiris. Members of the British Parliament have strongly criticized India for denying the democratic and basic human rights of the people of occupied Kashmir and expressed fear that this could lead to a nuclear war between Pakistan and India. After Kashmir and terrorism, the water issue has also emerged with greater intensity in the few-day war. The Indian Prime Minister’s announcement to suspend the Indus Water Treaty means stopping the water of the Indus River from flowing to Pakistan. DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, while giving an interview to foreign news media, has warned India that if it stops the water, the consequences of Pakistan’s response will last for generations. He said that India is sponsoring terrorism in this region, especially in Pakistan. Our mosques, children, women and elders were martyred, we only targeted Indian military targets. India should understand that it is not America and Pakistan is not Afghanistan. India is not Israel and Pakistan is not Palestine.

         Pakistan has emerged as a major force in this war, according to the media of Western countries, due to its resolute response to Indian aggression and the success it has achieved on the diplomatic front. Pakistan has also released a dossier, which clarifies the historic success of Operation Banyan Al-Marsoos with satellite images, authentic media reports on the Pahalgam false flag, and solid evidence, and has opened the fortress of India's false propaganda and fake news, which exposes Indian aggression and reveals the truth. The DG ISPR rightly said that Pakistan is a champion of peace, but the Pakistani nation and forces have never bowed down and cannot be bowed down. Only big and wise powers like America can understand the passion of the people of Pakistan. After this warning from Pakistan, it is necessary for India to adopt the path of peace instead of confrontation and remove the madness of the regional police chief from its mind.

US President Donald Trump and Pakistan

   

               In light of the completely changed and constructive attitude of US President Donald Trump in the light of these four months of his power, it would not be wrong to say that he has come as an ambassador of peace in his second term. Stopping the escalating war between the two nuclear countries Pakistan and India, ending the sanctions imposed on Syria, starting bilateral talks with Iran in the hope of ending the forty-four-year differences and starting a new era of friendly relations in return, and efforts to stop the Russia-Ukraine war have pleasantly surprised the world. However, the American role in the continuation of Israeli attacks on Gaza has certainly become a question mark.

        President Trump has now brought an agenda of global trade promotion, not war, and is giving the same message to Pakistan and India to spend their capital on ending poverty instead of preparing for war. Pakistan has always been a proponent of peace. When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, within a few moments on April 22, 2025, justified the Pahalgam incident and started provocations, held Pakistan responsible for it, threatened it with serious consequences, and announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, despite this, Pakistan acted patiently and offered to investigate the Pahalgam incident from every angle. But India, considering it Pakistan's weakness, intoxicated by its military power, fired missiles at its civilian populations on the night of May 6-7, killing 26 people, injuring 46, and desecrating mosques. In response, Pakistan shot down 6 of India's famous aircraft. On May 8, India attacked several cities in Pakistan. Drone attacks were carried out which were destroyed by the Pakistan Air Force.

         The Indian missile attack on the Nur Khan air base on the night of May 9 proved to be the final test of Pakistan's patience and from dawn to 8 am, it had crushed the pride of the Indian Air Force, which made the world unable to stop praising the bravery of the Pakistani falcons. Before this series of Pakistani successes could continue, President Trump, realizing the fragility of the situation, put pressure on him and called for an immediate ceasefire and, through his mediation, called for an end to the issue through negotiations. After completing a four-day tour of Arab countries, in a TV interview, President Trump highlighted all the horrific aspects of the Indo-Pak war and emphasized the need for beneficial measures for both sides instead of potential losses. The aforementioned interview of President Trump reflects his encouraging analytical attitude towards Pakistan. He not only hopes that Pakistan will increase trade with the United States, but according to him, Pakistan and India should also come forward together in this field. He openly expressed that America cannot forget Pakistan, it is an intelligent, hardworking and talented nation. But despite good relations, it is surprising that Pakistan does not trade with Washington.

        In the light of President Trump’s interview, it is important to mention that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has repeatedly offered the Modi government to sit down and resolve all issues together and instead discuss issues of bilateral interest. But he always considered this as Pakistan’s weakness. President Trump’s offer of mediation is undoubtedly encouraging for Pakistan. To make it fruitful and sustainable, Kashmir is one such issue, the resolution of which will automatically eliminate other issues.

Why India afraid of Kashmir’s political independence and third-party mediation?

       UN resolutions clearly give the Kashmiri people the right to decide their own future, India, which calls itself the world’s largest democracy, when it comes to Kashmir, its approach is dominated by dictatorship, coercion and fear rather than democratic values.

      The Kashmiri people have been engaged in a struggle for freedom and the right to self-determination for the past seventy-five years, but India tries to suppress their voice at every level. There are several reasons for this pressure and concern, including the possible autonomy of Kashmir, and mediation by a third world power such as the UN, OIC, China or the US, which are considered the biggest threats to India. The question is, why is New Delhi so afraid of these two issues?

     Whenever “Kashmir” and “third-party mediation” are mentioned in the government chambers of Delhi, an unusual unease is felt. International diplomatic circles and analysts seem to agree that India’s claim of Kashmir as its “integral part” is a weak claim on historical, legal and moral grounds.

     The UN resolutions clearly give the Kashmiri people the right to decide their own future, and India itself initially accepted these resolutions, but later reneged on its promises. Till date, the Kashmiris have not been given the opportunity to hold a plebiscite because India knows that the outcome could be a political, moral and ideological defeat for it.

     Kashmir’s independence could be not just a geographical dispute but also a dangerous precedent, which would set an example for other separatist regions of India. The Sikh community in Punjab still seems mentally prepared for the establishment of Khalistan. Thousands of people have died in the Khalistan movement since 1984 and this movement is still alive in the hearts of Sikh nationalists. If Kashmir gets independence or the aspirations of Kashmiris are recognized at the international level, it could be an encouraging message for the Sikhs. Similarly, several states in northeastern India such as Assam, Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura consider themselves ethnically, culturally and religiously different from central India. Dozens of separatist groups are active in these regions who consider India a colonial power. They can present any political developments in Kashmir as an argument for their right to self-determination.

     Another major fear of India is that if the UN, OIC or other world powers mobilize to mediate in Kashmir, the international community will see the true feelings of the Kashmiri people and the serious human rights violations committed by India in full force. India is afraid of this diplomatic pressure because the decision of an impartial international forum could refute its narrative that Kashmir is its internal matter.

    Kashmir is the most militarized region in the world, with nearly nine hundred thousand Indian soldiers stationed there. This means that there is more than one soldier for every ten Kashmiris. Dozens of homes are raided daily in the valley, and more than 3,000 Kashmiri youth have been extrajudicially killed between 2019 and 2024. Such a situation should be a source of shame for any democratic state.

     Kashmir is also in a serious economic and social crisis. According to the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce, the valley has suffered an economic loss of more than Rs 25 billion from 2019 to 2024 alone. Industries like tourism, carpet weaving, agriculture and handicrafts have reached the brink of collapse. Educational institutions remain closed for about 180 days a year and the education of children has been severely affected. According to a UNICEF report in 2021, 60 percent of children in the valley suffer from some form of mental stress or psychological distress.

     Although there is verbal support at the international level, practical measures are insufficient. The United Nations issued two major reports on Kashmir in 2018 and 2019, in which the Indian army was found guilty of serious human rights violations. Organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have repeatedly criticized Indian policies. The European Parliament also demanded in a resolution in 2020 that India restore the internet in Kashmir and release political prisoners. However, India has consistently violated the fundamental rights of Kashmiris by rejecting all these demands.

     The Kashmiri people have not only been deprived of their political autonomy, but military force, media censorship and international diplomatic cunning are being used to suppress their voice. The Kashmir issue is no longer just a regional dispute, but has become a humanitarian, moral and global issue, which the international community must discuss openly and fearlessly.

     Recently, after the increasing tension between Pakistan and India, the US President has once again offered to mediate on the Kashmir issue, and said that its solution is only through dialogue. This statement by the US President has further strengthened Pakistan's long-standing position on the global stage, as Pakistan has always said that Kashmir is a disputed region and its future should be determined by the will of the Kashmiris, and not through any military or geographical coercion. The Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Foreign Office welcomed this statement so that the path of lasting peace in South Asia can be paved.

     In this context, it is necessary for the United Nations to create a strong mechanism for the implementation of its resolutions, and for other world powers, including the United States, to pressure India to grant the Kashmiris their democratic rights. Pakistan should also make its diplomatic narrative more effective and work with the international media, think tanks and human rights organizations to present the Kashmir case in a comprehensive manner. If the international community squanders this opportunity, South Asia could move towards another major humanitarian tragedy, the effects of which will not be limited to Pakistan and India alone, but will affect the entire world. If the global conscience continues to remain silent, Kashmir will become not just a human tragedy, but a metaphor for a moral failure.
