If the US delegation gets half the reception I’ve received in Pakistan, they may never leave.😉😋

Trump’s Russian diesel deal changed my plans. Pakistan was next, but I’ve just pulled into Kyiv to report from the ground and tell the stories of the people living through the consequences, behind the headlines. Pakistan, see you on the way back, visa permitting. (Inshallah!)

🐒More Pakistan magic

Anti-American protest here in Greenland today en route to the US consulate. Some demonstrators have heard my accent and told me I’m not welcome here, but someone has to tell their stories to US audiences.

🎶More scenes from last night. Incredible talent! I learned a little bit more from their performance about how Pakistani music varies from location to location, with each region playing home to distinct beats.

I'm sitting in a Kyiv hotel room listening to explosions that are rattling the windows. Meanwhile, the White House is trying to cyber-bully me because I criticized Steve Witkoff for calling Putin a “humanitarian.” What a weird night. Ah, to be an American journalist in Ukraine.

The exact moment the sisters spotted their father inside the bus — the first time they’ve seen his face since two years ago when the girls fled Oleshky by foot. I will never forget this.

These sisters from Oleshky are hoping their father is on the coming buses of refugees from their hometown. They told me they’re hopeful but incredibly nervous he won’t arrive.

EXCLUSIVE: MAGA darling Alina Habba is getting married Saturday. Her fiancé is a Turkish billionaire w/ business ties to the Congo &amp; Venezuela. DC has spotted him at her side, but his identity was a mystery — until now. The Correspondent has the reveal:

Beyond Imran Khan: The security issue Americans are missing in Pakistan. Read the full report at #watch

I just tried calling President Trump. He didn’t answer. If he had, I’d have asked if he’s trying to scare the Ukrainian people into surrender. No warning yet again tonight before a series of ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv, sources tell me. I heard at least 8-10 massive booms.

The Oleshky evacuees in Ukraine have loaded back onto the buses to Kyiv after filling up on World Central Kitchen food, hot coffee and receiving warm coats and blankets from volunteers. I don’t know if you believe in God, but I feel Him here.

Live from New York — Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has just left the stage at UNGA. Follow here and at for more.

Kabul's Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid tells Al Arabiya English that the organization doesn't "allow" the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to launch attacks on Pakistan from Afghanistan — but what are they actually doing about it?

The Afghan Taliban is the same group America fought for 20 years. Now Kabul is accused of harboring the TTP, Pakistan's enemy. Two groups, one alliance — and a region on edge.

For my Pakistani followers: The idea that Democrats winning Congress could undo Pakistan’s diplomatic gains misunderstands US politics. Here’s what analysts get wrong.

Happy one-month birthday to The Correspondent!

I tried Pakistani “pan” today and had a total giggle fit with these girls (and fellow journalists!) Huge THANK YOU to Gharidah Farooqi (T.I.) and Fereeha M Idrees for the most delightful day of Islamabad fun. Truly, you are my kindred spirits and now dear friends.💚I’m going to miss this.

The mood is so deflated in Islamabad now. All through the night it was just electric here.

I saw a tweet the other day arguing Pakistan should ease tensions with Afghanistan and India because Trump cut sanctions on Russia. Sure, talk. But will Kabul act against militants? What can Islamabad and New Delhi agree on? “Trump did it” answers neither.

I had camel for dinner last night. There’s something I never thought I’d do!🤣 #wheninIslamabad

Hi, I’m The @NYPost’s Pentagon reporter, and this is why I do what I do.

Pakistan didn’t end the US-Iran war. But it helped get two enemies talking — and I was in Islamabad to watch it happen. On the latest The Correspondent Podcast: my UNGA week review — Trump, Iran, the Taliban and Ukraine — and why Pakistan’s mediation still matters.

Well, I started off yesterday talking about my newfound love of Pakistani music. Lucky me, I ended the day with live music last night at Islamabad’s highest point for a media event.
