Mini food tour, day three. Lahore threw surprises I wasn't expecting. Good ones. Then Islamabad, very quietly, hands me this. Bone marrow on a charcoal-grilled patty. Brioche bun. One of the best burgers I've had, and I've had a few. Capital gaining on points. Thank you for all your recommendations, there are too many to cover in a single trip but I've still got a few hours and a couple of meals left to negotiate.

Dubai is the new food capital of the world and I'll fight anyone who thinks otherwise. This place does the best Chapli Kebabs I've had anywhere. Darra Adam Khel style with chunks of bonemarrow stuck into the meat. Kebab Al Madina near National Paints I'll be posting more recommendations in this thread.

Everyone is watching the ceasefire clock. Watch Moscow instead. Araghchi visited four capitals in 72 hours: Islamabad twice, Muscat, Moscow. You do not do that if you have walked away. You do it because you are building something. Russia has offered to take custody of Iran's enriched uranium. Trump rejected it before. The dynamics have shifted. Iran's new proposal, conveyed to the White House through Pakistani mediators, offers to reopen Hormuz and end the war while deferring nuclear talks. Trump will reject it as written. But it shifts the centre of gravity. The counter-proposal is where the deal lives. Now add Putin. If Russia offers a specific uranium custody formula, both sides get an exit. Iran says we placed it with an ally. Trump says Iran's uranium has left the country. Oil is at $106. Trump's domestic clock is ticking louder than his strategic one. Iran knows this and is trading time for leverage. Pakistan's value right now is giving Trump a way out he can frame as a win. Pakistan has moved from facilitator to architect. The ceasefire framework was Pakistan's draft. Iran's written messages on nuclear red lines were transmitted through Pakistani mediators. Lavrov called Dar and "highly appreciated" the effort. The US State Department has called Pakistan the sole mediator. This is unprecedented. Watch what comes out of Moscow in the next 24 hours. The next significant move in this war may come from the one capital with a stake in the outcome that has not fired a shot. Discussed this on Decode with the excellent and thorough Zunaira Azhar, on Express 24/7 today. Full conversation below.
