| Pope Leo vs President Trump | | |
Asad Mirza
Pope Leo’s sharp criticism of war, sectarian manipulation and the political misuse of religion has cast fresh attention on the narratives shaping the US-Israel confrontation with Iran. Speaking in Cameroon, Africa, the pontiff warned against turning geopolitical rivalry into a civilisational struggle between Christianity and Islam, while also highlighting the dangers of deepening Shia-Sunni divisions. His remarks challenge strategic rhetoric that risks transforming a political conflict into a broader religious and identity-based confrontation with destabilising global consequences.
Pope Leo has criticised leaders who spend billions on wars and said the world was “bein... |

As expected, the United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal after high-stakes talks in the Pakistani capital, with American Vice President JD Vance saying Tehran refused to accept Washington’s terms after 21 hours of talks in Islamabad. And Iran citing lack of American commitment to the talks.
The talks termed as ‘Islamabad Talks’, lasted a full day of negotiations, which ended with a terse three-minute press conference — and without a deal. Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all. The sun had risen in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, by the time JD Vance emerged to brief reporters.... |

By Fatima Baloch
Every military operation and war generally has certain strategic objectives. However, just like the 1965 war and the Kargil conflict, Pakistan’s military operations often lack clear strategic objectives during wartime. This frequently leads to failure, heavy military casualties, and embarrassment, and Pakistan continues this legacy both in external wars and in internal military operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out an attack in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2026, in which seni... |
