Established by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, the Army—born as the Continental Army—has stood as the nation’s “sword and shield,” defending liberty through centuries of valor and... - [The Strait of Hormuz: Global Oil’s Lifeline and Iran’s Strategic Leverage](https://khalidmasood.com/blocking-of-strait-of-hormuz/): (By Khalid Masood) As Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz amidst its intensifying conflict with Israel in June 2025, the world stands on the precipice of a potentially catastrophic disruption to global energy flows. The Strait, a narrow but vital maritime chokepoint, is not just a regional water-body – It is a jugular... - [Shin Bet in the Crucible of War: Leadership Change, Transformation, and Israel’s Intelligence Landscape](https://khalidmasood.com/shin-bet-leadership-change/): (By Khalid Masood) As Israel wages a perilous war against Iran in June 2025, its internal security apparatus, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency, ISA), stands at a pivotal juncture. The abrupt departure of director Ronen Bar, amid allegations of politicization, and the appointment of Major General David Zini as his successor, signal a seismic... - [The 'No Kings' Campaign: America’s Revolt Against Imperial Power and Its Global Ripples](https://khalidmasood.com/no-kings-campaign-in-2025-america/): (By Khalid Masood) In the summer of 2025, the United States, long a beacon of democratic ideals, finds itself at a crossroads, roiled by a grassroots movement dubbed “No Kings.” On June 14, millions gathered at 2,000 sites nationwide, their voices rising in defiance of what they perceive as an imperial presidency, emboldened by a... - [Afghanistan's Trade Landscape: A Shift from Pakistan and the Search for Alternatives](https://khalidmasood.com/afghanistans-trade-landscape/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) I. Introduction Afghanistan, a landlocked country situated at the crossroads of Central and South Asia, has long relied on its neighbors for trade. Pakistan, in particular, has historically been a key trading partner. However, recent political tensions, economic grievances, and security concerns have prompted the Afghan government to announce a decision to stop all trade with and through Pakistan. This move has far-reaching implications for both Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as the broader regional economy. The decision comes amid escalating tensions, accusations of political interference, and economic imbalances in bilateral trade. As a result, Afghanistan is now seeking alternative routes and trade partners to sustain […] - [Foiled Terror Siege at Cadet College Wana: Echoes of Peshawar and Shadows from Across the Border](https://khalidmasood.com/foiled-terror-siege-at-cadet-college-wana/): (By Khalid Masood) In the rugged terrains of South Waziristan, near the volatile Afghan border, a nightmare from Pakistan’s past nearly repeated itself on the night of November 10, 2025. What began as a brazen assault on Cadet College Wana—a premier institution grooming the nation’s future military leaders—unfolded into a tense, hours-long siege that tested the resolve of Pakistani security forces. Mercifully, the attack was thwarted before it could claim a single life among the college’s 650 students and staff, but its chilling intent evoked the ghosts of the 2014 Army Public School (APS) massacre in Peshawar. As investigations deepen, […] - [The Challenge of Disarming Hamas: Strategic, Political, and Human Complexities of Gaza’s Future](https://khalidmasood.com/the-challenge-of-disarming-hamas/): (By Khalid Masood) Introduction The question of disarming Hamas stands at the heart of one of the most enduring and volatile conflicts of the modern world. Since the group’s formation in the late 1980s, Hamas has evolved from a religious-political movement into a multifaceted force that governs, resists, and survives. Every major military escalation in Gaza has ended with renewed calls — from Israel, Western nations, and occasionally even regional players — to “disarm Hamas.” Yet the demand, while politically popular, is operationally complex and strategically near-impossible to implement. Disarming Hamas is not merely about confiscating weapons; it is about […] - [Proposed Constitutional Amendment: Balance of Powers and Democratic Governance](https://khalidmasood.com/proposed-27th-amendments-in-the-constitution/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) The principles of separation of powers and checks and balances are fundamental to modern democracy. Originating in the work of Montesquieu in The Spirit of the Laws (1748) and enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, they grant distinct authorities to the legislature, executive and judiciary so no single institution becomes absolute. In a parliamentary democracy such as Pakistan, these principles are reflected in Articles 7–50 of the Constitution of Pakistan, but in practice the system faces serious challenges. In simple terms: This separation aims to prevent power concentration: the legislature legislates, the executive enforces, the judiciary reviews. But […] - [Zohran Mamdani: NYC's Historic Mayor – A Progressive Triumph Amid National Tensions](https://khalidmasood.com/zohran-mamdani-nycs-historic-mayor/): (By Quratulain Khalid) I. Introduction On November 5, 2025, New York City made history as 34-year-old Zohran Kwame Mamdani surged to victory in the mayoral race, securing over 50% of the vote against formidable challengers. Democratic socialist Mamdani, a Queens state assemblyman since 2021, defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo (running as an independent with 40%+) and Republican Curtis Sliwa (7%+), becoming the city’s 111th mayor. This triumph marks him as NYC’s first Muslim mayor, first of South Asian descent, and youngest leader in 109 years – a seismic shift echoing the 1977 upset when Cuomo’s father, Mario, fell short in […] - [Genocide in Plain Sight Amid Sudan's Forgotten War](https://khalidmasood.com/genocide-in-plain-sight-amid-sudans-forgotten-war/): (Mohsin Tanveer) El Fasher, the historic capital of North Darfur and a city of over 250,000 souls, was once a vibrant crossroads of trade and culture in western Sudan. By late October 2025, after an excruciating 18-month siege, it became a graveyard. On October 26-27, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF)—descendants of the Janjaweed militias infamous for the 2003 Darfur genocide—overran the city, forcing the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) to withdraw. What unfolded was not mere conquest but a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing: mass executions, widespread rape, and the systematic targeting of non-Arab communities, particularly the Masalit, Zaghawa, and […] - [The US-India 10-Year Defence Framework Agreement – A Strategic Pivot in the Indo-Pacific](https://khalidmasood.com/us-india-10-year-defence-framework-agreement/): (By Khalid Masood) In the bustling corridors of of Kuala Lumpur, amid high-level diplomacy and the humid haze of Southeast Asian geopolitics, two major powers – India and the United States – formalised a defence pact that may reshape the Indo-Pacific theatre for the next decade. On 31 October 2025, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth exchanged the documents establishing the 10-year Framework for the U.S.–India Major Defence Partnership. The signing, conducted on the sidelines of the 12th ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus), transcends mere formality; it constitutes a bold statement of strategic alignment […] - [Istanbul Stalemate: Pakistan’s Diplomatic Triumph, Taliban Fractures, and the Looming Shadow of Indian Intrigue](https://khalidmasood.com/istanbul-stalemate-pakistans-diplomatic-triumph-taliban-fractures/): (By Khalid Masood) October 30, 2025 In the annals of South Asian statecraft, few moments crystallize a nation’s strategic maturity as vividly as Pakistan’s conduct during the Pakistan-Afghanistan peace dialogues in Istanbul, Türkiye, which concluded in a resounding diplomatic and moral victory for Islamabad on October 29, 2025. Far from the Western media’s lazy narrative of “failed talks,” what transpired over four intense days in the historic halls of Istanbul was nothing less than a masterclass in principled diplomacy, evidence-based negotiation, and unflinching national resolve. Pakistan entered the room not as a supplicant, but as a sovereign power defending its […] - [The Looming Spectre of Operation Sindoor-2 and India’s Provocative Posturing](https://khalidmasood.com/operation-sindoor-2/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) The dust from the May 2025 border skirmishes has barely settled, yet New Delhi seems eager to stir it up again. The ghosts of Operation Sindoor—a rather theatrical episode masquerading as counter-terrorism—continue to haunt the uneasy peace between Pakistan and India. What was once sold to the Indian public as a “decisive strike” now looks more like a reckless misadventure wrapped in patriotic fervour. Unfortunately, the architects of that fiasco appear undeterred; whispers of a “Sindoor-2” have begun echoing through India’s defence corridors, accompanied by the usual chest-thumping rhetoric that substitutes spectacle for strategy. The Anatomy of […] - [Hegemony in Action: Deconstructing India’s Exercise ‘Trishul’ Deception](https://khalidmasood.com/hegemony-in-action-deconstructing-indias-exercise-trishul-deception/): (By Khalid Masood) In the fragile ecosystem of South Asian security, where the line between military posturing and all-out war is perilously thin, India has once again chosen the path of escalatory brinkmanship. The announcement of “Exercise Trishul” (Oct 30-Nov 10, 2025), is not a ‘routine’ drill as the spin from New Delhi would have the world believe. It is a calculated, dangerous, and deeply provocative rehearsal for war, aimed squarely at the heart of Pakistan. This is not conjecture. This analysis, based on the exercise’s declared parameters, its operational context, and the chillingly jingoistic rhetoric of India’s political leadership, […] - [Interstellar Enigma: 3I/Atlas – Comet, Anomaly, or Alien Harbinger?](https://khalidmasood.com/3i-atlas-comet-anomaly-or-alien-harbinger/): (By Khalid Masood) The cosmos has once again presented humanity with a profound mystery, and its name is 3I/Atlas. For only the third time in recorded history, after the baffling 1I/’Oumuamua and the more conventional 2I/Borisov, we have confirmed a visitor from the vast, dark ocean between the stars. Discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey in Chile, this interstellar interloper has done more than just capture the interest of astronomers; it has ignited a global frenzy, dominating social media feeds and blurring the line between rigorous science and speculative science fiction. As 3I/Atlas hurtles toward its closest […] - [Book Review: Deep Work by Cal Newport](https://khalidmasood.com/deep-work-by-cal-newport/): Overview Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport is a compelling exploration of the value of intense, uninterrupted focus in an age dominated by distractions. Published in 2016, the book argues that deep work—cognitively demanding tasks performed with complete concentration—produces exceptional results and is increasingly rare in today’s hyper-connected, multitasking culture. Newport, a computer science professor and productivity expert, draws on research, historical examples, and practical insights to present a framework for cultivating deep work and achieving meaningful professional and personal outcomes. Summary Newport divides the book into two parts: the case for deep […] - [From Brinkmanship to Breakthrough: Inside the New Pakistan-Afghanistan Doha Pact](https://khalidmasood.com/new-pakistan-afghanistan-doha-pact/): (By Khalid Masood) Just days after teetering on the edge of a wider conflict, Pakistan and Afghanistan have pulled back from the brink, signing a critical ceasefire agreement in Doha on October 18, 2025. This pact, mediated by Qatar and Turkey, follows one of the deadliest periods of border clashes in recent memory. It aims to address the foundational issue that has shattered relations between the two neighbors: cross-border terrorism, particularly from the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). While the agreement brings immediate relief and a surge of cautious optimism, it lands on a foundation fractured by decades of mistrust. Its success […] - [Pakistan's Struggle Against Afghan-Sponsored Terrorism and Indian Machinations](https://khalidmasood.com/afghan-sponsored-terrorism-and-indian-machinations-against-pakistan/): (Quratulain Khalid) Pakistan, a nation that has shouldered immense burdens for regional stability, is now facing an existential threat from cross-border terrorism originating in Afghanistan, compounded by India’s opportunistic interference. The ongoing hostilities, which erupted into open clashes in October 2025, underscore Pakistan’s justified defensive posture while highlighting the Afghan Taliban’s duplicity and India’s anti-Pakistan agenda. While war carries heavy costs, Pakistan’s sovereignty demands decisive action against these threats. Historical Context: Pakistan’s Enduring Goodwill Amid Betrayal Pakistan’s relationship with Afghanistan has long been one of asymmetrical benevolence. For decades, Pakistan has hosted millions of Afghan refugees—over 3 million as of […] - [Countering Amir Khan Muttaqi’s Rhetoric: A Global Perspective on Terrorism and Instability Emanating from Afghanistan](https://khalidmasood.com/amir-khan-muttaqis-rhetoric/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) When Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi recently asked, “If Afghanistan is really a center of terrorism, why don’t Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and China complain? Why only Pakistan?” he sought to invert the narrative and frame Pakistan as a uniquely hostile critic. But in doing so, he obscures a far more complex reality: the concerns Pakistan voices are neither isolated nor unfounded, but shared—if variably expressed—by multiple states, international organizations, and civil society actors. This article unpacks Muttaqi’s rhetorical gambit, surveys the broader evidence of threats emanating from Afghanistan under Taliban rule, and reflects on how […] - [DG ISPR’s Peshawar Presser: A Stark Wake-Up Call — Unity, Reform, and Resolve Now](https://khalidmasood.com/dg-isprs-peshawar-presser/): (By Quratulain Khalid) Peshawar, October 10, 2025 — At a forceful press briefing from Peshawar Corps Headquarters, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations Lt-Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry issued a blunt diagnosis and an urgent prescription: Pakistan faces a renewing wave of terrorism driven as much by domestic governance failures as by sanctuaries across the border in Afghanistan. He framed the surge as a national emergency that demands immediate, united political will to fully implement the National Action Plan (NAP), close governance gaps, and deprive militants of safe havens and illicit funding. The Numbers: High Tempo, High Cost Lt-Gen Chaudhry presented detailed […] - [Pakistan's Thunderous Retribution: The Elimination of TTP Chief Noor Wali Mehsud and Its Ramifications for National Security](https://khalidmasood.com/the-elimination-of-ttp-chief-noor-wali-mehsud/): (By Khalid Masood)Oct 10, 2025 In a daring display of precision and resolve, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) executed a missile strike last night, October 9, 2025, that obliterated the head of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Noor Wali Mehsud, as he traveled in an SUV through the heart of Kabul. This audacious operation, reportedly carried out by F-16 jets, marks a watershed moment in Pakistan’s unyielding war against terrorism—a war that has claimed the lives of countless brave soldiers and civilians at the hands of TTP barbarians sheltered by a duplicitous Afghan regime. Mehsud, the architect of a surge in […] - [The Sir Creek Dispute: A Persistent Threat to Pakistan's Sovereignty and Security](https://khalidmasood.com/the-sir-creek-dispute/): (By Mohsin Tanveer)Oct 10, 2025 Sir Creek dispute as one of the most egregious examples of India’s expansionist tendencies masquerading as legal claims. This 96-km tidal estuary, nestled in the marshy Rann of Kutch between Pakistani Sindh province and Indian State of Gujarat, is not just a remote waterway—it’s a linchpin for Pakistan’s maritime rights, economic future, and national defense. The map below starkly illustrates the core injustice: Pakistan’s rightful “Green Line” along the eastern bank, which would secure the entire creek as Sindhi territory, versus India’s provocative “Red Line” slicing through the middle, effectively annexing half of what is […] - [The 2005 Kashmir Earthquake, Global Rebuilding Efforts, and Pakistan's Path to Resilience in 2025](https://khalidmasood.com/the-2005-kashmir-earthquake/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) Introduction: The Dawn of Destruction On a crisp autumn morning, October 8, 2005, the Himalayan foothills awoke not to the gentle call of birds, but to the earth itself unleashing its fury. At 8:50 a.m. local time, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake—measured on the moment magnitude scale—struck with its epicenter just 19 kilometers northeast of Muzaffarabad, the bustling capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The quake, lasting nearly a minute, originated from a shallow depth of about 26 kilometers along the active Balakot-Bagh thrust fault, a volatile seam in the collision zone where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates grind […] - [Yasin Malik: From Militant Firebrand to Imprisoned Symbol of Kashmiri Resistance](https://khalidmasood.com/yasin-malik-death-sentence/): (By Khalid Masood)October 6, 2025 Introduction Yasin Malik, born on April 3, 1966, in the bustling riverside neighborhood of Maisuma in Srinagar, has long been a polarizing figure in the Kashmir conflict. As the chairman of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Malik embodies the turbulent history of Kashmiri separatism—a journey from armed insurgency in the 1980s to non-violent advocacy in later decades, and now, a high-stakes legal battle in Indian courts. Currently serving a life sentence in New Delhi’s Tihar Jail for terror funding charges, Malik faces a renewed push by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) to enhance his […] - [India's Desperate Saber-Rattling: A Post-Defeat Bid to Mask Humiliation](https://khalidmasood.com/indias-desperate-saber-rattling-2025/): (By Khalid Masood) October 5, 2025 – Lahore In the shadow of its resounding military debacle earlier this year, India has unleashed a torrent of belligerent rhetoric aimed at Pakistan, cloaked in the guise of national security concerns. The provocative statements from top Indian military and political figures—delivered in the first week of October 2025—represent not just an escalation of tensions but a calculated attempt to rewrite the narrative of defeat through threats of annihilation. These utterances, which openly flirt with the idea of “erasing” Pakistan from the map, come mere months after Operation Sindoor, where India’s ill-fated incursion into […] - [The Proposed Review of Refugee Seats in AJK: A Step Toward Reform or a Harbinger of Division?](https://khalidmasood.com/review-of-12-reserved-refugee-seats-in-ajks-legislative-assembly/): (By Khalid Masood) The October 4, 2025, peace accord between the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) and Pakistani authorities has brought an end to days of unrest in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), but one element continues to spark debate: the handling of 12 reserved seats in the AJK Legislative Assembly for refugees—primarily those displaced from Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir and now residing in Pakistan proper. While the JAAC demanded outright abolition to eliminate external influence and elite capture, the agreement stops short of immediate elimination. Instead, the government has committed to initiating debates and discussions in the assembly, alongside […] - [Trump and Netanyahu’s Gaza Plan: A Trap Disguised as Peace](https://khalidmasood.com/analysis-of-gaza-peace-plan/): (By Tahir Masood) U.S. President Donald Trump stood beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and announced a 20-point Gaza plan. Trump called it a road to peace. In reality, the plan empowers Israel, weakens Palestinians, and forces them to surrender under pressure. Trump gave Hamas “three or four days” to accept the deal. He warned that rejection would give Israel the green light to continue its military campaign indefinitely. His message was blunt: take it or leave it. But can anyone impose peace on a people through ultimatums? Trump and Netanyahu Excluded Palestinians Neither Trump nor Netanyahu invited Palestinians to […] - [Unrest in Azad Kashmir: A Simmering Cauldron of Economic Despair and Political Repression](https://khalidmasood.com/unrest-in-azad-kashmir/): (By Khalid Masood) October 2, 2025 In the shadow of the snow-capped Pir Panjal mountains, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)—Pakistan’s administered portion of the disputed Kashmir region—has erupted into chaos. What began as a peaceful shutdown over skyrocketing food and electricity prices has spiraled into deadly clashes, leaving at least nine dead (including three policemen and six civilians) and hundreds injured as of this writing. A communications blackout imposed since September 29 has shrouded the unrest in secrecy, fueling accusations of deliberate suppression by Pakistani authorities. While mainstream Pakistani media offers fragmented, often sanitized coverage, alternative sources—local YouTube videos, X […] - [The Fatah Series: Pakistan's Indigenous Precision Strike Revolution](https://khalidmasood.com/test-launch-of-fatah-iv/): (By Khalid Masood) In the high-stakes theater of South Asian geopolitics, where deterrence and rapid response define national security, Pakistan’s Fatah series of missiles has emerged as a cornerstone of its conventional firepower. Developed entirely in-house by the Global Industrial and Defence Solutions (GIDS), a subsidiary of the state-owned Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, the Fatah family represents a leap in Pakistan’s self-reliance in missile technology. From short-range tactical strikes to long-haul cruise capabilities, these ground-launched systems blend advanced guidance with terrain-hugging flight profiles, making them elusive to enemy defences. Their combat debut in the tense India-Pakistan skirmishes of May 2025 underscored […] - [Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan: Analysis of Shehbaz Sharif’s Swift Endorsement](https://khalidmasood.com/donald-trumps-21-point-gaza-peace-plan/): (By Khalid Masood) When President Donald Trump unveiled his 20-point Gaza Peace Plan on September 29, 2025, it set off ripples across the world. Framed as a sweeping roadmap to end the Israel–Hamas war, the proposal promises an immediate ceasefire, hostage exchanges, Israeli withdrawal, and the establishment of a transitional, technocratic governance structure in Gaza under international supervision. Israel has formally approved it, but Hamas remains hesitant. In Pakistan, what stirred strong reactions was Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s unusually swift endorsement of Trump’s plan — a move that raises deep questions about diplomatic strategy, moral responsibility, and whether Pakistan’s leadership […] - [Finding Your Calm: A Review of Nick Trenton's "The Art of Letting Go"](https://khalidmasood.com/finding-your-calm-a-review-of-nick-trentons-the-art-of-letting-go/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) In a world that constantly demands our attention and energy, Nick Trenton’s The Art of Letting Go: Stop Overthinking, Stop Negative Spirals, and Find Emotional Freedom arrives as a timely and practical guide to reclaiming our mental space.

This wasn’t merely a corporate transaction; it was the culmination of a multi-year geopolitical struggle over data, influence, and the very future of the global internet. The signing marks a dramatic precedent in U.S.-China relations, signaling a new era where national security concerns can fundamentally reshape the ownership and operation of global technology platforms. This landmark deal doesn’t just save TikTok for its 180 million American users; it redraws the battle lines for […] - [A New Chapter in U.S.-Pakistan Relations: Apex Meeting](https://khalidmasood.com/president-trump-pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-and-fm-asim-munir/): (By Khalid Masood) Introduction “Gentlemen, they may even be in this room right now!” quipped President Donald Trump to reporters on September 25, 2025, acknowledging his slight delay before meeting Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir in the Oval Office. This light-hearted moment belied the gravity of a 90-minute discussion that marked a pivotal moment in U.S.-Pakistan relations. Amid shifting South Asian geopolitics, economic opportunities, and global security challenges, the meeting signaled a warming of ties, with Trump praising Sharif and Munir as “great leaders” driving regional stability. This article explores […] - [Trump's Pivotal U-Turn on Ukraine: A Geopolitical Reckoning at the United Nations](https://khalidmasood.com/trumps-pivotal-u-turn-on-ukraine/): (By Mohsin Tanveer) Introduction In the grand hall of the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a speech that blended familiar bombast with an unexpected pivot—one that could reshape the contours of the Russia-Ukraine war. Amid criticisms of global migration, climate policies, and the UN itself, Trump articulated a dramatic shift in his stance on the conflict, declaring that Ukraine could “fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form” with support from the European Union and NATO. Labeling Russia’s military a “paper tiger” mired in “BIG Economic trouble,” Trump urged […] - [Book Review: The Naked Diplomat](https://khalidmasood.com/book-review-the-naked-diplomat/): (By Khalid Masood) Published in 2016 by William Collins (an imprint of HarperCollins), The Naked Diplomat by Tom Fletcher arrived at a pivotal moment when social media was already reshaping global conversations, yet diplomacy lagged behind. Originally priced at £18.99 in the UK (around $24 USD at the time), the book remains widely available today through major international retailers like Amazon, Waterstones, and Target, where paperback editions typically range from $10 to $15 USD depending on promotions and format—making it an accessible entry point for those exploring modern statecraft. For readers in Pakistan, you can easily order it online via […] - [The Post-Globalist Quake: A Geostrategic Analysis of Trump’s UN Address](https://khalidmasood.com/trumps-un-address-2025/): (By Khalid Masood) Introduction From the vantage point of Lahore, a city that has for centuries served as a crucible of the Sub-Continent’s destiny, President Donald Trump’s speech at the UN was a seismic event. His address has immediately and profoundly altered Pakistan’s strategic landscape. Watched in offices in Islamabad and debated in policy circles here, the speech signaled the definitive end of the predictable globalist era. In its place, a chaotic, brutally transactional, and personality-driven new world order has arrived. President Trump did not just outline a foreign policy; rather, he declared a worldview. This vision is predicated on […] - [Tirah Tragedy: Exposing Indian Propaganda and Its Nexus with Terror](https://khalidmasood.com/tirah-tragedy-2025/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) The recent tragedy in Tirah, KPK which claimed the lives of both militants and innocent civilians, has once again laid bare the cruel reality of terrorism and the malicious propaganda war waged by India against Pakistan. The Tirah Incident – Facts, Not Fiction According to official reports, the compound where the incident occurred was under the control of TTP commanders Aman Gul and Masood Khan. It had been turned into a storage facility for explosives and weapons. On that ill-fated night, a massive blast erupted inside the compound, which, due to the presence of huge quantities of […] - [The Statesman's: A Review of Henry Kissinger's Diplomacy](https://khalidmasood.com/the-statesmans-a-review-of-henry-kissingers-diplomacy/): (By Quratulain Khalid) Three decades on, Kissinger’s magnum opus remains an essential, if unapologetically self-serving, guide to the brutal logic of world affairs. Few intellectual arenas are as fraught with tension as the study of international relations, torn between what the world ought to be and what it starkly is. No single volume has captured this enduring conflict with more authority and sweeping historical scope than Henry Kissinger’s 1994 masterpiece, Diplomacy. Written after his tumultuous tenure as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, the book is the capstone work of a man who was not merely a student of […] - [Directed-Energy Weapons: High-Power Lasers and Microwaves as the Battlefield of the Future](https://khalidmasood.com/directed-energy-weapons-in-2025/): (By Khalid Masood) Introduction The evolution of warfare has always been driven by technological leaps — from gunpowder to nuclear weapons, and from precision-guided munitions to unmanned systems. Today, the next transformation is already taking shape in the form of directed-energy weapons (DEWs). These systems harness concentrated energy, rather than explosive force, to disable, damage, or deter adversaries. At the heart of this revolution stand two technologies: High-Power Lasers (HELs) and High-Power Microwaves (HPMs). No longer the stuff of science fiction, both are being actively tested and, in some cases, readied for deployment. Israel, the United States, China, and several […] - [Trump’s UNGA Meeting with Muslim Leaders: Diplomacy, Strategy, and the Quest for Realignment](https://khalidmasood.com/president-trumps-planned-unga-meeting/): (By Mohsin Tanveer) Introduction Diplomatic gatherings on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) have long been fertile ground for statesmanship, backroom bargaining, and the quiet forging of global alignments. This year’s highlight, however, has a distinctly strategic undertone. The White House confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with leaders from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Indonesia, and Egypt. The official purpose is to “exchange views on issues pertaining to regional and international peace and security.” On the surface, the meeting reads like another multilateral consultation. But diplomacy is rarely what […] - [The Shattered Shield: Reassessing Gulf Air Defence Doctrine After the Doha Strike](https://khalidmasood.com/reassessing-gulf-air-defence-doctrine-after-the-doha-strike/): (By Khalid Masood) The strategic environment of the Persian Gulf has long been predicated on the technological superiority of Western-supplied air defence systems, forming the bedrock of the security architecture for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. This paradigm was fundamentally challenged on September 9, 2025, when an Israeli military strike successfully penetrated the airspace of Qatar, a nation hosting significant US military assets and equipped with advanced American air defence platforms. This article will argue that the Doha strike represents a watershed moment, exposing critical vulnerabilities in layered air defence strategies and acting as a catalyst for a profound […] - [From Brotherhood to Ironclad Accord: Unpacking the New Pakistan-Saudi Arabia Strategic Defence Agreement](https://khalidmasood.com/defence-pact-between-pakistan-and-saudi-arabia/): (By Khalid Masood) In a move that sends powerful ripples across the geopolitical landscape from the Middle East to South Asia, Pakistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have signed a historic ‘Strategic Defence Agreement’. The signing ceremony in Jeddah, attended by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, marks the formalisation of a seventy-year strategic relationship, transforming an unwritten understanding into a binding, ironclad accord. This agreement is far more than a diplomatic formality; it is a calculated response to a rapidly shifting global order and a declaration of strategic autonomy that fundamentally reshapes […] - [Israel's Doha Gambit & the Unravelling of Middle Eastern Diplomacy](https://khalidmasood.com/israels-doha-gambit/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) Doha, Qatar – In a move that has sent shockwaves across the Middle East and irrevocably altered the geopolitical landscape, an audacious Israeli airstrike on the 9th of September 2025 pierced the veneer of diplomatic sanctity in Doha.

Consequently, this rare public acknowledgment of submarine movements, typically shrouded in secrecy, escalates tensions amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Moreover, it raises concerns for the European […] - [India’s Arrogant Boycott: Undermining Sportsmanship in the 2025 WCL](https://khalidmasood.com/india-2025-wcl-boycott-of-pakistan/): (Mohsin Tanveer) Introduction In July 2025, Indian cricket legends, including Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, and Suresh Raina, disgracefully refused to face Pakistan in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) in Birmingham, England, citing the flimsy pretext of geopolitical tensions following the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack. Consequently, this arrogant decision led to the cancellation of both a league-stage match and a semi-final, unjustly allowing Pakistan to advance to the final without a contest. For instance, Pakistan’s team, led by Shahid Afridi, stood ready to compete, embodying true sportsmanship. However, India’s boycott, backed by sponsor EaseMyTrip’s withdrawal, reflects a narrow-minded […] - [Book Review: No Exit from Pakistan: America’s Tortured Relationship with Islamabad by Daniel S. Markey](https://khalidmasood.com/no-exit-from-pakistan/): (By Quratulain Khalid) Introduction Published in 2013, No Exit from Pakistan: America’s Tortured Relationship with Islamabad by Daniel S. Markey offers a penetrating analysis of the fraught U.S.-Pakistan relationship, a dynamic central to global security. Drawing on his experience as a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) senior fellow and former U.S. State Department official, Markey likens this partnership to Jean-Paul Sartre’s play No Exit, where characters are trapped in eternal mutual torment. For instance, U.S.-Pakistan ties have oscillated between alliance and animosity since Pakistan’s founding in 1947, marked by cooperation during the Cold War and tensions post-9/11. Consequently, Pakistan’s nuclear […] - [Reviving the Presidential Fitness Test: Trump’s Push for Physical Excellence in Schools](https://khalidmasood.com/presidential-fitness-test/): (By Ayesha Mahnoor) Introduction On July 31, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the revival of the Presidential Fitness Test in U.S. public schools, reinstating a program phased out in 2013. This decision, formalized through an executive order, responds to a growing concern about declining youth fitness. For instance, today’s young people are less physically fit than their counterparts in the 1920s and 1940s, when robust health was critical during World Wars I and II and even into the late 20th century. Instead, over the past 25 years, youth have become increasingly glued to computer screens, shunning outdoor play. Military instructors […] - [U.S.-Pakistan Trade Deal: A New Era of Energy Cooperation](https://khalidmasood.com/2025-u-s-pakistan-trade-deal/): (By Khalid Masood) Introduction On July 31, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a landmark trade deal with Pakistan, focusing on the joint development of Pakistan’s vast oil reserves, estimated at over 10 billion barrels. This agreement, therefore, marks a pivotal moment in U.S.-Pakistan economic relations, strengthening ties between the two nations amid a complex South Asian geopolitical landscape. For instance, the deal follows a period of renewed diplomatic engagement, including Pakistan’s designation as a major non-NATO ally and recent talks facilitated by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Moreover, it contrasts sharply with Trump’s simultaneous imposition of 25% tariffs […] - [Book Review: The Invincible Quest: The Life of Richard Milhous Nixon by Conrad Black](https://khalidmasood.com/conrad-blacks-the-invincible-quest/): (Ammar Tahir Masood) Introduction The Invincible Quest: The Life of Richard Milhous Nixon by Conrad Black is a monumental biography of one of America’s most polarizing presidents. Published in 2007, it traces Nixon’s life from 1913 to 1994, offering a detailed re-evaluation of his legacy. Specifically, Black argues that Nixon’s accomplishments outweigh his scandals. For instance, he highlights Nixon’s foreign policy triumphs. Consequently, the book challenges conventional narratives about “Tricky Dick.” This review examines its themes, strengths, and weaknesses. Moreover, it assesses its value for readers interested in political history. Overview Spanning 1,152 pages, The Invincible Quest is an exhaustive […] - [Pakistan’s Sarkash and Sarfarosh: Pioneering Autonomous Warfare in Global South](https://khalidmasood.com/pakistans-sarkash-and-sarfarosh/): (By Khalid Masood) Introduction Pakistan’s military arsenal has taken a bold leap forward with the introduction of Sarkash and Sarfarosh, two domestically developed loitering munitions. These autonomous drones, therefore, mark a significant shift in Pakistan’s defence strategy. For instance, they embody the concept of “Hyperwar,” where scalable, autonomous systems redefine modern warfare. Unveiled at the 2024 International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS), these drones signal Pakistan’s ambition to lead in unmanned warfare. This article explores the technical capabilities of Sarkash and Sarfarosh, their strategic role, and their impact on South Asia’s security landscape. Technical Overview of Sarkash and Sarfarosh Pakistan’s […] - [Trump vs. India: A Trade Showdown in the Making](https://khalidmasood.com/trump-vs-india/): (By Ayesha Mohsin) Introduction On July 29, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs as high as 25% on Indian imports if a long-sought trade agreement remains elusive. This bold move, therefore, signals heightened tensions in U.S.-India trade relations. For instance, it underscores Trump’s aggressive “America First” trade policy. Meanwhile, India faces pressure to open its markets. This article explores the tariff threat’s context, its diplomatic implications, and its potential economic impact. Furthermore, it examines India’s response and the future of bilateral trade. U.S.-India Trade: A Complex Relationship The U.S. and India share a significant trade partnership. Last […] - [The Khalistan Movement: Trump’s Letter Fuels Sikh Aspirations](https://khalidmasood.com/khalistan-movement/): (By Khalid Masood) Introduction The Khalistan movement represents a bold and unyielding quest for a sovereign Sikh homeland in the Punjab region of India. Rooted in decades of political marginalization, cultural suppression, and state-sponsored violence, the movement symbolizes the Sikh community’s enduring resistance against systematic oppression by the Indian state. For many Sikhs, it is not just a political cause, but a deeply personal struggle for identity, justice, and freedom. In July 2025, a significant milestone was reached when former U.S. President Donald Trump addressed a letter to Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the leader of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ)—an organization at […] - [Book Review: The Art of Being Alone: Solitude Is My Home, Loneliness Was My Cage by Renuka Gavrani](https://khalidmasood.com/the-art-of-being-alone/): (By Muhammad Asad Masood) Overview Published in 2023, The Art of Being Alone: Solitude Is My Home, Loneliness Was My Cage by Renuka Gavrani is a self-help book that explores the transformative power of solitude. Aimed at readers who struggle with loneliness or seek to embrace their alone time, the book challenges societal stigmas around being alone and offers practical guidance for turning loneliness into a period of personal growth and self-discovery. Gavrani, a young Indian author and book blogger, draws heavily on her personal experiences, weaving anecdotes with actionable advice to create a conversational and relatable narrative. With an […] - [OPERATION SINDOOR: UNRAVELLING INDIA’S PARLIAMENTARY LIES](https://khalidmasood.com/operation-sindoor-unravelling-indias-parliamentary-lies/): (By Khalid Masood) On 29 July 2025, India’s Parliament became a stage for deceit as Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar spun a web of lies about Operation Sindoor, a so-called “successful” retaliation for the 22 April Pahalgam attack. Their grandiose claims—destroying Pakistani terror infrastructure, forcing Islamabad’s surrender, and achieving global support—crumble under scrutiny. Pakistan’s decisive counterstrikes, downing six Indian jets, including Rafales, exposed India’s military debacle. Meanwhile, opposition leaders like Gaurav Gogoi and Asaduddin Owaisi tore through the Modi government’s narrative, posing unanswered questions about security lapses, perpetrators’ identities, and a […] - [INTERNATIONAL TIGER DAY 2025: SAVING THE STRIPED GUARDIANS](https://khalidmasood.com/international-tiger-day/): (Mohsin Tanvir) 29 July, International Tiger Day galvanises the world, uniting nations, communities, and conservationists to protect the majestic tiger, an endangered icon of biodiversity. In 2025, falling on a Tuesday, this observance rallies millions to combat the dire threats of poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. Established in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit, the day set an ambitious goal to double wild tiger numbers by 2022. Although only 5,574 tigers remain, with India leading at 3,682, progress continues. The 2025 theme, “Their Future in Our Hands,” underscores the urgent need to secure tigers’ survival, ensuring vibrant ecosystems […] - [OPERATION MAHADEV: INDIA’S BRUTAL CAMPAIGN TO CRUSH KASHMIRI FREEDOM](https://khalidmasood.com/operation-mahadev/): (By Quratulain Khalid) In July 2025, India’s 700,000-strong occupation forces unleashed Operation Mahadev in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), a sinister plot to mask their failures and slaughter innocent Kashmiris and Pakistanis. This ruthless campaign, launched after the botched Operation Sindoor, stages fake encounters to frame detained Pakistanis as “terrorists,” inflaming global outrage. The blood of martyrs like Muhammad Farooq and Muhammad Din, murdered in April, stains India’s hands, yet New Delhi persists in its genocidal tactics to suppress the Kashmiri freedom movement. With 723 Pakistanis languishing in Indian jails, Operation Mahadev epitomises India’s desperation to silence dissent […] - [TRUMP’S UNPROVOKED ATTACK ON SADIQ KHAN: A DIPLOMATIC MISSTEP](https://khalidmasood.com/trumps-unprovoked-attack-on-sadiq-khan/): (Ayesha Mohsin) On 28 July 2025, President Donald Trump reignited his feud with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, calling him a “nasty person” who has “done a terrible job” during a press interaction about his upcoming U.K. state visit. The unprovoked remarks, made ahead of Trump’s unprecedented second state visit to meet King Charles III from 17–19 September, risk straining U.S.-U.K. relations at a critical juncture. Khan, a Labour politician and the first Muslim mayor of London, has long been a target of Trump’s criticism, notably in 2019 when he branded Khan a “stone cold loser.” This latest outburst, absent any […] - [Inside the Accusation: What Trump’s Treason Claim Means for America](https://khalidmasood.com/what-trumps-treason-claim-means/): (Quratulain Khalid) In July 2025, President Donald Trump escalated a long-standing feud by accusing former President Barack Obama of “treason” and orchestrating a “years-long coup” against his presidency. These incendiary claims, fueled by declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, revive debates over Russia’s 2016 election interference. Amid scrutiny over Trump’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, the accusations signal a dangerous escalation in political rhetoric. Obama’s office dismissed the claims as “ludicrous” and a “weak attempt at distraction.” This confrontation threatens U.S. political norms, deepening polarization and eroding trust in institutions. This article examines the origins, details, […] - [INDIA’S MIG-21 RETIREMET: PAKISTAN’S STRATEGIC EDGE IN REGIONAL AIRPOWER](https://khalidmasood.com/indias-mig-21-retirement/): (By Khalid Masood) On 19 September 2025, the Indian Air Force (IAF) will ceremonially decommission its obsolete MiG-21 fighter jets at Chandigarh airbase, ending a 62-year saga of the so-called “Flying Coffins.” Once India’s pride, these Soviet relics, plagued by over 400 crashes, expose New Delhi’s chronic failure to modernise its air force. For Pakistan, this retirement unveils a golden opportunity to exploit India’s weakened air defence, especially as delays in the Tejas Mk1A programme cripple IAF readiness. While India struggles, Pakistan’s advancing J-10C and JF-17 fleets bolster its air superiority. This article dissects the MiG-21’s tarnished legacy, India’s operational […] - [MODI’S MALDIVES GAMBIT: INDIA’S FUTILE QUEST FOR INDIAN OCEAN SUPREMACY](https://khalidmasood.com/modis-maldives-gambit/): (By Khalid Masood) On 25 July 2025, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi descended on the Maldives, brandishing a $565-million credit line and launching free trade talks to seize control of this strategic Indian Ocean archipelago. Cloaked in celebrations for the Maldives’ 60th independence anniversary, Modi’s Maldives gambit spreads over two-day visit. It exposes India’s ruthless ambition to dominate vital sea routes and counter China’s influence, threatening Pakistan’s maritime security. Local Maldivians, wary of India’s overbearing presence, fuel “India Out” memes, echoing President Mohamed Muizzu’s 2023 anti-India campaign. India’s aggressive diplomacy, mirrored by its suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), […] - [CHINA’S YARLUNG ZANGBO DAM: A STRATEGIC BLOW TO INDIA’S WATER WARFARE](https://khalidmasood.com/chinas-yarlung-zangbo-dam/): (By Quratulain Khalid) On 19 July 2025, Chinese Premier Li Qiang launched the world’s largest hydropower dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River, known as the Brahmaputra in India, a $168 billion megaproject that redefines South Asia’s geopolitical order. This colossal initiative, dwarfing the Three Gorges Dam, strengthens China’s control over vital water resources while bolstering Pakistan’s position against India’s aggressive suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). India’s reckless move to violate the 1960 treaty threatens Pakistan’s water security, endangering millions reliant on the Indus River system. In contrast, China’s dam empowers Pakistan by countering India’s water hegemony, exposing New […] - [Crash After Crash: What’s Really Wrong with Indian Aviation?](https://khalidmasood.com/whats-really-wrong-with-indian-aviation/): (By Khalid Masood) What’s Really Wrong with Indian Aviation? India’s aviation sector, a cesspool of incompetence, has racked up a staggering toll of crashes, casting serious doubt on whether Indians are fit to operate aircraft. From 2000 to 2025, the Indian Air Force (IAF) and civil airlines have suffered catastrophic losses, exposing a nation incapable of maintaining safe skies. Aging fleets, inept pilots, and abysmal regulation define India’s failures, with the MiG-21 “flying coffins” and the 2025 Ahmedabad crash epitomizing its disgrace. While other nations streamline their aviation systems, India’s bumbling approach—marked by human error and technical neglect—raises a damning […] - [DALAI LAMA CONTROVERSY: INDIA’S HYPOCRISY UNMASKED](https://khalidmasood.com/dalai-lama-controversy/): (Mohsin Tanveer) The Dalai Lama succession dispute exposes India’s blatant hypocrisy, preaching Tibetan self-determination while crushing Kashmiri, Sikh, and eastern state aspirations. The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, a global symbol of peace exiled in India since 1959, declared in July 2025 that his successor would be chosen in a free country, defying China’s authoritarian grip over Tibet’s spiritual future. Beijing’s 2007 law claims control over reincarnations, aiming to install a puppet Dalai Lama. India’s vocal support for Tibet rings hollow against its unfulfilled 1948 UNSC Kashmiri plebiscite promise, dismissal of Sikh Khalistan referendums, and neglect of eastern states like […] - [SYED BABAR ALI: A VISIONARY ARCHITECT](https://khalidmasood.com/syed-babar-ali-pakistan/): (By Khalid Masood) While India celebrates its Tatas and Ambanis, and the world lauds Musk and Gates, Pakistan reveres Syed Babar Ali, a luminary whose legacy eclipses mere wealth. Unlike global tycoons amassing fortunes, he crafted institutions and industries that bolstered Pakistan’s self-reliance. For instance, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Packages Limited, and Tetra Pak Pakistan stand as testaments to his vision. Born in 1926, this industrialist, educationist, and philanthropist reshaped Pakistan with integrity and foresight. Moreover, his environmental advocacy through WWF and philanthropy via the Babar Ali Foundation reflect a commitment to generational impact. In contrast to the […] ## Pages - [Articles](https://khalidmasood.com/articles/) - [Copyright Notice](https://khalidmasood.com/copyright-notice/): 📜 Copyright Notice © Khalid Masood | www.khalidmasood.com | All Rights Reserved All content on this website—including articles, opinions, commentary, analysis, graphics, photographs, logos, and other materials—is the intellectual property of Khalid Masood, unless otherwise stated.

A missile test can shake borders, but a well-timed speech or viral narrative can redraw minds. Public relations becomes the soft weapon of hard politics—shaping global opinion, masking aggression as diplomacy, and turning regional ambitions into stories of national pride.
