The maiden Joint Services Multi-Speciality Camp, being conducted at the Union Territory of Lakshadweep from 12-17 January 2026 was formally inaugurated by Adm Dinesh K Tripathi, #CNS, at Kavaratti, on 13 Jan 26. The camp covering five islands - #Amini, #Androth, #Agatti, #Kavaratti, and #Minicoy - will provide comprehensive medical care to the residents. Over 15 static and mobile medical teams will complement the existing health services on L&M Islands by augmenting the medical equipment, stores, and medicines, and enabling on-site access to specialist and super-specialist care from across the country. A dedicated ophthalmology team has also been deployed at Kavaratti to undertake cataract surgeries for eligible patients. Reflecting the spirit of flagship national initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), the camp integrates and provides curative care with preventive and promotive health services to those residing in the most remote regions of the country. Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh in his video message reaffirmed the Government of Indiaโ€™s commitment to bringing quality healthcare closer to citizens in remote areas, in furtherance of the vision of โ€˜Swasth Bharatโ€™, and expressed confidence that the camp by bringing together a comprehensive medical setup on a single platform would contribute to long-term health benefits for the island community. Speaking on the occasion #CNS highlighted the three unique features of this camp, Synergy - with professionals from all three Services and local administration; Scope - a vast range of medical specialists and Scale - the number of medical professionals and support personnel deployed for this camp. #CNS emphasised that such joint initiatives strengthen inter-service synergy and civil-military cooperation, while contributing meaningfully to the welfare of citizens. #CNS also met with patients including over 40 beneficiaries of the cataract surgeries undertaken in the last two days.

Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries have reduced gasoline production in Russia by approximately a quarter compared to June of last year, while emergency shutdowns at plants have also decreased exports of petroleum products. For the first time in many years, Moscow is preparing to import gasoline by sea, and the government has established a separate interagency task force to ensure fuel supplies to the regions. On June 28, Putin stated that the top priority for fuel distribution is the army and support for the agricultural sector ahead of the harvest. According to estimates from the Russian ministry of agriculture, the country requires about 4.7 million tons of diesel fuel and 630-690 thousand tons of gasoline annually to carry out all seasonal field work. The spring sowing campaign has already consumed nearly 2 million tons of diesel. Harvesting, autumn field work, and grain transportation require another approximately 2-3 million tons of diesel, with peak demand concentrated in July-September. Putin claims that current gasoline reserves stand at around 1.7 million tons. We know Putin constantly lies, but even these volumes are insufficient to simultaneously meet military needs, the agricultural sector, and civilian market demand without additional resource redistribution. Letโ€™s see if Putin can get help from abroad. Belarus is the most accessible source of supply. Throughout 2025-2026, Minsk has increased deliveries of gasoline and diesel to Russia to several tens of thousands of tons per month. However, Belarusโ€™s capabilities are limited by its two oil refineries and its own domestic demand. Even a significant increase in exports would cover only a small portion of Russiaโ€™s seasonal needs. Kazakhstan is considering supplying Russia with about 50 thousand tons of AI-92 gasoline. At the same time, the country is carrying out repairs at the Atyrau Refinery, entering its own high-demand harvest season, and maintains export restrictions on gasoline and diesel. Even if the delivery occurs, its volume will not have a significant impact on the overall balance of the Russian market. China theoretically has the greatest potential to help Russia. According to expert estimates, Chinese companies could supply up to 350 thousand tons of gasoline and about 100 thousand tons of diesel per month. However, the main obstacle remains financial settlements, particularly the risk of secondary sanctions. Sea imports from Asia can only be used as a temporary measure. They are more expensive than domestic production, require more complex logistics, and cannot quickly compensate for the losses from major Russian refineries. The geographical factor must also be taken into account. Supplies from China can primarily cover the Far East and parts of Eastern Siberia. Sea imports would arrive at western ports. Meanwhile, the greatest need for diesel fuel is in the agricultural regions of European Russia - the Central Black Earth region, the Volga region, Krasnodar region, Rostov region, and Stavropol region - where harvesting is underway and the main grain production is concentrated. However, Ukrainian strikes target not only refineries but also oil depots. This means that even with increased imports, there will be nowhere to store large volumes of fuel. โ€ผ๏ธ Thus, external assistance will not save Russia from a fuel shortage. What Russia can do - and is already doing - is to lower fuel quality requirements, allowing the production of gasoline and diesel to lower environmental standards. In parallel, the Russian government is already discussing the possibility of a complete ban on diesel exports. There will not be enough gasoline and diesel for everyone in Russia, but according to Putin, there will definitely be enough for the army. And therefore, Ukrainian drones still have a sufficiently long list of targets.

MASS SHOOTING REPORTED IN GERMANY. DISASTER AID TO VENEZUELA RAMPS UP AMID LOCAL TENSIONS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Persian Gulf: Over the weekend, the war continued as both Iran and the United States conducted mutual targeting efforts after the stock market closed on Friday. Several strikes were reported within Iran, along with the Iranian targeting of another merchant vessel on Saturday. Sunday morning, Qatar stated that a small merchant vessel was struck by an Iranian munition somewhere off their coastline, which resulted in one fatality. After these tit-for-tat targeting efforts, the U.S. and Iran have allegedly agreed that the ceasefire is back on. Lebanon: Following the signing of the agreement between the U.S./Israel and the Lebanese government, the IDF's invasion has continued within southern Lebanon. Lebanese citizens have continued fleeing the city of Nabatiyeh, with airstrikes being reported all along the eastern front over the past few days. United Kingdom: On Saturday a vehicle ramming attack was reported in London after a Somalian man rammed his vehicle into a crowd of people outside a row of shops on The Broadway. A total of five people were wounded during the attack, and the suspect has been identified as Timir Ahmed Mohamed. He has been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder. Germany: This morning a mass shooting was reported in Stade, a small city in northern Germany west of Hamburg. At least one gunman conducted a small arms attack on DankersstraรŸe, in the residential sector of the town. A total of 5x people were killed during the attack, and the assailant was reportedly detained at the scene. In addition to the shooter, one other individual was also arrested at the scene. No further details have been provided, and the scene remains heavily locked down. Venezuela: Earthquake rescue and recovery efforts continue as the casualty count rises. Officially the death toll stands at over 1,719 confirmed fatalities, with tens of thousands of people either injured or displaced after their homes were destroyed. Several aftershocks with an estimated magnitude of M5.0 struck the disaster zone since the two main earthquakes devastated the region. This resulted in a few more building collapses, and has made rescue operations extremely dangerous for all involved. Analyst Comment: Concerning the American rescue efforts, U.S. Marines from Combat Logistics Battalion 8, Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 365, and the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit were on the ground immediately after the earthquakes, delivering aid and logistics as part of the American aid effort. The priority at the moment is the repair of Simรณn Bolรญvar Airport in Catia La Mar and Francisco De Miranda Airport in Caracas, both of which suffered significant damage which will need to be repaired for more heavy machinery and disaster aid to be flown in. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: In Venezuela, local corruption complaints have also begun to manifest, which has complicated rescue and recovery efforts. Uniformed Bolivarian soldiers have allegedly been observed looting from collapsed buildings, and many local politicians and military leaders have also been accused of hindering recovery efforts so as to extract bribes. Corruption throughout South America is extremely engrained throughout all levels of governance and society, and as a result even the most devastating disasters ever seen also attract those seeking to capitalize on the chaos. This hits especially hard due to the sheer scale of the disaster, which has left many communities to fend for themselves. Disasters almost always bring out the very best and the very worst of society, and Venezuela was already struggling beforehand. These hardships have in turn lead to the population turning their anger toward government almost immediately after the dust settled, and the US operation to capture Maduro earlier this year has complicated the situation significantly. For instance, one of the government figures who is involved in disaster aid is Minister of the Interior Diosdado Cabello (Rondรณn), who has been observed allegedly hindering disaster aid. For context, Cabello is currently wanted by the United States, and has a $25 million bounty on his head, which is still active. Yet, American rescue agencies on the ground are being given the runaround by him and his staff. Even the Venezuelan politicians hand-picked by the White House to lead in Maduro's absence are having trouble. Delcy Rodrรญguez, the individual who became President after the United States captured Maduro, was not very popular even before the earthquakes and was simply the only leader that seemed like a feasible puppet for the United States to control in the wake of the Venezuelan conflict. Managing the current disaster would be a challenge for anyone, but in this case Rodrรญguez is new on the job and the government was already barely functioning due to the political infighting that always occurs when a dictator is suddenly removed from the equation. Rodrรญguez also showing up to talk to impoverished disaster victims while wearing luxury clothing that costs more than the average yearly salary for most Venezuelans did not do her any favors either. In the western world, this would be considered a political gaffe, or something that is generally in poor taste considering that the victims have lost everything they have. But in South America, this is the kind of misstep that usually results in more discontent than one might think. As a result, the situation is tenuous all around; political infighting, corruption, and power-plays are all on the table while tens of thousands of victims attempt to dig through the rubble, and try to figure out what to do next.

For instance, one of the government figures who is involved in disaster aid is Minister of the Interior Diosdado Cabello (Rondรณn), who has been observed allegedly hindering disaster aid. For context, Cabello is currently wanted by the United States, and has a $25 million bounty on his head, which is still active. Yet, American rescue agencies on the ground are being given the runaround by him and his staff. Even the Venezuelan politicians hand-picked by the White House to lead in Maduro's absence are having trouble. Delcy Rodrรญguez, the individual who became President after the United States captured Maduro, was not very popular even before the earthquakes and was simply the only leader that seemed like a feasible puppet for the United States to control in the wake of the Venezuelan conflict. Managing the current disaster would be a challenge for anyone, but in this case Rodrรญguez is new on the job and the government was already barely functioning due to the political infighting that always occurs when a dictator is suddenly removed from the equation. Rodrรญguez also showing up to talk to impoverished disaster victims while wearing luxury clothing that costs more than the average yearly salary for most Venezuelans did not do her any favors either. In the western world, this would be considered a political gaffe, or something that is generally in poor taste considering that the victims have lost everything they have. But in South America, this is the kind of misstep that usually results in more discontent than one might think. As a result, the situation is tenuous all around; political infighting, corruption, and power-plays are all on the table while tens of thousands of victims attempt to dig through the rubble, and try to figure out what to do next.

The second wave of the fuel crisis is gaining momentum with each passing day. It is worth taking a closer look at what is happening and comparing it with the first wave. First wave. Mayโ€“July 2026 A large-scale shortage began to develop in May following a series of Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refining facilities. By summer, the problem had spread far beyond individual regions. The shortage reached Moscow, with queues appearing at petrol stations and limits being imposed on fuel sales. Fuel exports were restricted. Petrol began to be redistributed between regions, Moscow was given priority in supplies, Russia sharply increased imports from Belarus and Kazakhstan, and petrol quality requirements were relaxed to increase available volumes. Second wave. August 2026 โ€“ present In late July and early August, Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refining facilities continued. As of August 17, Reuters reported restrictions on fuel sales in at least 10 Russian regions. Petrol sales on the St Petersburg Exchange have fallen by around 20% since the beginning of August. Rosneft imposed a limit of 30 litres per vehicle, Tatneft 50 litres, and Gazprom Neft 40โ€“60 litres. Reuters is once again reporting queues at petrol stations in Moscow. But now there is a fundamentally new development. Russia, one of the worldโ€™s largest oil exporters, has begun importing petrol from India by sea. On August 17, a shipment of around 68,000 tonnes of Indian petrol arrived at the port of Vitino. At least two more shipments are currently on their way. Supplies from Belarus and Kazakhstan are also continuing. Moscow has also extended its ban on petrol and diesel exports until January 31, 2027. The key difference with the second wave is that the emergency measures that helped contain the first crisis for only a few weeks are already in place and are proving insufficient. What began as a temporary problem is gradually developing into a prolonged and severe fuel crisis, with no quick solution currently in sight.

The IRGC Navy transmits โ€œfinal Iranian warningsโ€ to US Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Frank E. Petersen Jr (DDG 121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) in the Gulf of Oman near the port of Fujairah. IRGC: US Navy ship no. 121, this is the Sepah Navy unit. You must change course and immediately return to the Indian Ocean. If you do not obey my order, you will become a target. US Navy: USS Frank E. Petersen Jr: This is coalition military ship no. 121. We are conducting a transit passage in accordance with international law. We do not intend to provoke conflict. IRGC: This is the Sepah Navy unit. Final warning. Final warning. Final warning. ๐Ÿ”ดResearch has revealed that the American attempt was an extremely risky move that could easily have turned into a disaster for the United States and its military. โ€” The destroyers were only minutes away from complete destruction after Iranian cruise missiles locked onto the ship and attack drones were deployed. โ€” When the two destroyers and escort reached the mouth of the Persian Gulf, Iranian cruise missiles locked onto them, and the destroyers were given only 30 minutes to withdraw. The ships immediately retreated. โ€” They tried to use electronic warfare tactics, including turning off the position reporting system, in an attempt to deceive the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy (IRGC) forces. โ€” By faking their identity, they tried to present themselves as commercial ships from Oman, allegedly engaged in coastal traffic in the southern part of the Gulf of Oman, the investigation revealed. โ€” The destroyers also chose a route very close to the coast and through shallow waters, taking a great risk to pass that way and enter the Persian Gulf by concealment and deception, expecting that Iranian forces might be negligent during the truce. โ€” However, the IRGC naval forces, while patrolling around Fujairah, had already detected the deception and took swift action. โ€” USS Frank Peterson first tried to continue its course but immediately realized that the radar systems of the cruise missiles had locked onto it and was stopped by IRGC ships. โ€” At the same time, IRGC drones were flying over the two destroyers. USS Peterson then received a notification on international channel 16 that it must either return and leave the area within thirty minutes or become a target of Iranian armed forces. โ€” As the destroyer insisted on continuing, it was given a final warning, so the destroyer was only minutes away from destruction. โ€” According to the investigation, the conversation between the IRGC naval forces operators and the American destroyers indicates their full compliance with the IRGC warning. โ€” The investigation further revealed that the failed operation was specifically designed to exploit the truce to test the readiness of the Iranian naval forces. โ€” It also aimed to influence negotiators in Islamabad, where important talks between Iran and the US were taking place under Pakistani mediation. โ€” According to the investigation findings, the operation of the two American destroyers failed and did not achieve any of the set objectives. โ€” Support helicopters also flew over the destroyers. At the same time as the warning to these destroyers, all ships in the area were ordered to stay at least 10 miles away from them so that, in case IRGC fired at them, surrounding ships would be protected. โ€” The investigation also stated that the highly risky and failed American operation was the result of the dismissal of the highest military generals from the army by order of Secretary of War Hegset in the last days.

This is Professor Ellen Rungani, the daughter of the Zimbabwean national hero buried two days ago, Brigadier-General Victor Chikudo Rungani. She is explaining how her father died, three hospitals could not provide him with a mere ventilator. General Victor Chikudo Rungani was 76 years old when he passed away at Mbuya Dorcas Hospital in Harare on April 22. He was honoured with a national heroโ€™s burial at the National Heroes Acre. His wife, Senator Anna Rungani, is a member of the Zimbabwean Parliament under the ruling ZANUPF party, this is no ordinary Zimbabwean family, they are part of the pollical elite class of Zimbabwe. When the general fell ill, he was taken to a military hospital in Harare at Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks, formerly known as KG6โ€”short for King George VI, after whom the barracks were originally named. The military hospital there was so ill-equipped that it lacked the most basic medical equipment he needed, a ventilator. The military hospital could only provide a nebuliser, something that you and I can buy over the counter in a pharmacy. A nebuliser is a medical device used to administer medication in the form of a mist, which is inhaled into the lungs. It is commonly used for people with respiratory conditions such as asthma and other lung diseases. The general was then taken to Zimbabweโ€™s largest public health facility, the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, but still, no ventilator was available for him there. He was stuck there for days without a ventilator. He was subsequently taken to Westend Hospital, whose medical resources running into multiple millions of dollars were looted and plundered by government officials, including the Presidentโ€™s spokesman, George Charamba; yet again, no ventilator was found for the general to save his wife. Finally, he was taken to the ZAOGA church-owned Mbuya Dorcas Hospital in Harareโ€™s Waterfalls suburb. By then, it was too late. The general died there simply because the public hospitals had no ventilators for him to use, and as a result, he caught a respiratory infection that probably killed him. When I speak about the importance of equipping public hospitals, it is because moments like this inevitably arise, where people die needlessly. I say these things because these public hospitals serve all of us regardless of political party affiliation or views, Despite being a general, a decorated war veteran and hero, an illustrious soldier and the husband of a senator, Brigadier-General Victor Chikudo Rungani died because Emmerson Mnangagwa has deliberately failed to provide basic medical equipment in public hospitals, due to the corruption he presides over as the Godfather of looting cartels. The NovaVent ventilator costs only US$500, and a standard low end hospital ventilator starts from around US$5,000, yet none was available to save this illustrious war hero and highly decorated general whose wife is a ZANUPF senator. All because Zimbabwe has a corrupt president who does not care about the citizens and only cares about looting public funds and enriching his family and inner circle of his clansmen. Seven years ago, I warned Zimbabweans that the entire country had only seven ventilators, mostly in private hospitals. Nobody in politics and authority listened and did something about my warning. Two years later, after my ominous warning, COVID-19 struck, and the first person to die because there was no ventilator was up-and-coming highly talented broadcaster, Zororo Makamba, who passed away on 23 March 2020. His father, James Makamba, is currently a ZANUPF Member of Parliament representing Mashonaland Central Province. I repeated the same call again a day after Zororo had died. I reminded Zimbabweans that one Range Rover can buy 80 hospital ventilators, which cost US$5,000 each. Instead of hanging their heads in shame, Mnangagwa and his thugs sent me to jail without trial for saying these things. Since then, Mnangagwaโ€™s regime has bought thousands of Range Rovers for his inner circle in government and state-owned enterprises, known in Zimbabwe as parastatals, yet only a US$5,000 ventilator was needed to save the life of the general! Very little has changed since I made my first call to action about equipping public hospitals with ventilators. More Zimbabweans will continue to die, in both high and low places, until Zimbabweans decide that enough is enough and demand and action sanity. Emmerson Mnangagwa and his two deputies, General Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi, receive medical treatment abroad when they fall ill. The money they spend on a single hospital check-up in China, India, Dubai or South Africa could equip the military hospital or Parirenyatwa with ventilators and essential medical supplies, but they do not care, because it does not affect them! The stupidity of Zimbabwean leaders lies in their failure to understand that the money they spend on private jets to China, Dubai, India or South Africa looking for healthcare could equip all public hospitals with the very equipment they travel abroad for. They could be treated at home, and so could everyone else, but Mnangagwa doesnโ€™t care at all about these life and death issues. The breathtaking stupidity of ZANUPF leaders, once predicted by Ian Smith and dismissed then as racist ranting, is now confirmed in Zimbabwe to the whole world daily. Now one of their own has died because they could not place a simple ventilator in a military hospital. Forget about public hospitals for us, the Povo, these ZANUPF leaders are so stupid they cannot even equip their own private military hospitals! What a useless and shameless bunch of clueless leaders! Things are so bad in Zimbabwean hospitals that South Africa had to evacuate one of its nationals by helicopter from Zimbabwe last week so they could receive proper yet basic medical attention. The tragic reality is that when I offered to supply this medical equipment to hospitals for free using my international networks and goodwill, the political class ganged up to demonise me, thinking I wanted to enter politics by helping people. To all those who did not understand why it is important to let those of us who have the capacity to equip these hospitals for free, this is your answer. Corrupt rule does not discriminate; it will find you regardless of who you are in society. You could be very wealthy, but if you are involved in a car accident in Murambinda or Tsholotsho, you will need emergency healthcare to stabilise you before being transferred to a hospital for the wealthy. You will not make it, you will die, along with all that money. Only because you didnโ€™t realise the importance of equipping public hospitals for the poor and the ordinary when you still had the power to do so! I am sure you heard from the professor that her father, an illustrious war hero and military man, was taken to the private section of Parirenyatwa Public Hospital. This means that even the private section of this hospital, which used to be well equipped and where important political figures were once treated, has now collapsed too. Zimbabweโ€™s first post-colonial First Lady, Sally Mugabe, was treated there. The late Vice President Joshua Nkomo was treated there, as was the late Vice President Simon Muzenda. But under Mnangagwa, even the VIP section of this once-great hospital is now dilapidated and canโ€™t provide for something so basic as a ventilator. Mnangagwa is so demented that he steals public money meant for hospitals, and when these high-profile figures die from his negligence and corrupt rule, he spends millions of state money on their funerals and burials. The state money used on the generalโ€™s funeral and burial was more than enough to have saved him and many other ordinary Zimbabweans, had the corrupt dictator simply invested in public hospitals. Meanwhile, the past, current and future victims of this manโ€™s negligence are at the forefront of wanting him to continue misruling the country until 2030. Why, then, do we get angry when other nationalities call us stupid? Until Zimbabweans unite to fight this corrupt dictator as one, his political negligence and criminal misrule will continue to kill them one by one. Kuzvitambira kana kusazvitambira (ukuzamukela noma ukungamukeli), the truth remains what it is, factual!

Iran war, day 136 | The SOH remains closed, and now the IRGC is threatening to shut down the Bab Al-Mandab straight! The IRGC warns that having already shut down oil and gas export routes from the SOH, the enemy should now expect additional energy corridors โ€” beyond the SOH โ€” to be closed, targeting routes that serve US and allied interests. Recall when Trump thought he could offer security services at the SOH and charge 20% fees? The 32 year old St. Kitts and Nevis flagged Bulk Carrier Luni on its way to UAE was hit and sunk by Iran! Video below -hull fracture that split it in two near Bandar Abbas. -Per US Central Command Commander: Iran attacked 7 commercial ships in 7 days, killing, missing, or injuring about 12 of their crew members. -and Trump thought he could play gatekeeper in the Persian gulf! -he already changed his mind and his back to taking GCC bribes CENTCOM announces completion of its latest 7-hours strike on Iran following the resumption of Trumpโ€™s bogus blockade: โ€ขBandar Abbas, Sirik, Bampur, SOH, Ahvaz, Qeshm island, Chabahar were hit U.S. CENTCOM completed an additional round of strikes against Iran at 10 p.m. ET, July 14, hitting dozens of military targets near the SOH and Iranian coastal areas. U.S. fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels launched precision munitions against Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and coastal defense systems during the seven-hour wave to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping and civilian crews. The reality: - US targeting of a mineral water production unit in Musian, Ilam, Iran. -the also hit a wheat warehouse But Trump said Iran has no army, no navy, no Air Force, no leadership and communications! Go figure! How did Iran respond? The IRGC targeted and destroyed a warehouse belonging to Kuwait and Gulf Link Holding Company (KGL) in Mina Abdullah, describing it as the primary U.S. Army logistics and support hub in West Asia. The IRGC added that its retaliatory operations are ongoing and warned that the SOH will remain closed until the end of U.S. aggression. -Iran continued wiping out U.S. assets in Bahrain and Kuwait -the U.S. 5th fleet is on fire again -Severe damage to the American Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar -the Kuwaiti weapons depot has been completely destroyed! Video below -US military facilities in Bahrain are under Iranian missile and drone attack. How badly has Jordan been destroyed? F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jet hangers and several American MQ9 strategic drones at Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan were destroyed by the IRGC! -Iran continues wiping out American assets in Jordan! Does Trump even have a plan? Besides death threats and bombs? -Trump warns Iran that strikes will continue until a deal is reached, -seeks to his Iranian power stations as soon as next week. โ€ข"Strikes on Iran will continue until I say enough." โ€ขIran's power stations will be targeted next week if no deal is reached. โ€ขEnergy targets in Iran will be held until last in the strike sequence. โ€ขTrump says the U.S. is urging Iran to reach an agreement. So much for diplomacy! Iran has threatened to retaliate by striking the energy infrastructure of the Trump/Israel aligned gulf states Does Trump have any idea what Iran has?

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ|Pakistanโ€™s PM Met Iranโ€™s President. Pakistan Is Not a US Ally. It Is a Survivor State. Shehbaz Sharif sat down with Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The official readout will say โ€œbilateral relationsโ€ and โ€œregional developments.โ€ The truth is simpler: Pakistan is trying to avoid being forced to choose sides in a war that is tearing the region apart. And it is failing. Pakistan is not Iran. It is not a member of the Resistance Axis. It does not fire missiles at Israel. It does not control a strategic strait. It does not have 33 million people registered for a martyrdom campaign. But Pakistan is not a US colony either. It does not host permanent US combat bases. It does not follow every American sanction. It has not closed its airspace to Iranian flights. It has not joined the naval blockade. It has not sent troops to Yemen. Pakistan is a survivor state. It has survived wars, coups, floods, earthquakes, economic collapse, and the constant pressure of being a nuclear-armed country surrounded by hostile neighbors and unreliable allies. It has learned one lesson above all: do not choose sides unless you have to. And right now, it is being forced to choose. The American Squeeze The US Treasury has threatened to cut off any country that services Iranian aircraft from the dollar system. Pakistan has not complied. It has not banned Iranian flights. It has not closed its airspace. It has not joined the blockade. Why? Because Pakistan needs Iran. It needs Iranian gas. It needs border trade. It needs the land route to Central Asia. It needs a neighbor that is not India. It needs Iran to help manage the border with Afghanistan. It needs Iran to keep the Balochistan insurgency from spilling over. But Pakistan also needs the US. It needs the IMF. It needs American military aid. It needs American diplomatic support on Kashmir. It needs American intelligence on Afghanistan. It needs the American market for its textiles. So Pakistan is caught in the middle. It cannot fully comply with the US. It cannot fully defy the US. It is trying to do what it always does: balance. The Iranian Demand Iran wants Pakistan to do two things: 1. Dismantle Jaish al-Adlโ€™s safe havens in Balochistan. That group launches attacks into Iranian Sistan-Baluchestan from Pakistani soil. Iran has already proven it can strike inside Pakistan when it needs to. Pakistan knows this. 2. Guarantee safe passage for its oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistanโ€™s economy is on life support. Its fuel reserves are measured in days. It cannot afford a closure. Iranโ€™s message to Pakistan is clear: You cannot be a base for our enemies and a friend of ours at the same time. If you want our gas, our border trade, and our help on Afghanistan, you need to act against Jaish al-Adl. You need to stop letting your territory be used to kill our border guards. Pakistanโ€™s response is always the same: We are doing our best. We are a weak state. We have our own problems. Please be patient. Iran is tired of patience. The Meeting at UNGA Shehbaz Sharif met Pezeshkian in New York. What did they discuss? โ—พBorder security. Iran pressed for action against Jaish al-Adl. Pakistan promised to do more. โ—พEconomic cooperation. Pakistan asked for Iranian gas, electricity, and border trade. Iran asked for payment in something other than rupees. โ—พAfghanistan. Both countries are worried about ISIS-K, drug trafficking, and refugee flows. They agreed to coordinate. โ—พ The US blockade. Pakistan said it would not join the aviation blockade. Iran thanked it. โ—พThe Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan asked for safe passage. Iran said it would consider it if Pakistan acted against Jaish al-Adl. No breakthroughs. No agreements. No declarations. Just two neighbors who need each other but do not trust each other, sitting in a room in New York, trying to manage a relationship that neither can afford to lose.

Confidence Pro Max: Remembering a Brother, a Filmmaker, and a Warrior Nickโ€™s untimely death is a devastating blow to his family, friends, and Kenya as a whole. We didnโ€™t see it coming, even after he was diagnosed in October 2025 with hypocellular myelodysplastic syndrome (h-MDS), a rare bone marrow disorder. When we went to see him in the hospital, he possessed such positive energy, he was convinced that he would beat this. He was Rambo a "one-man army" and we all believed he could beat it, too. He never looked defeated, or depressed, even as he began to lose weight. When he shaved his head in November, he sent me a photo and asked me to call him "Michael Jordan," after the Chicago Bulls legend whose signature look was a bald head. Even in sickness, he found a reason to smile. I met Nick in 2015, before he became a filmmaker. I remember him sitting in my office wearing a suit, asking for my support to go study filmmaking in Italy. After completing his course in Italy, his first major project upon his return was the award-winning documentary Softie, directed by Sam Soko. The film followed my journey as I ran for political office during the 2017 elections, and Nick was the one behind the drone shots. We became friends, and I enjoyed a front-row seat watching as he went on to document important stories. One of my favourites was his powerful 2021 BBC Africa Eye documentary, "Street Dreams." He directed and filmed a group of seven homeless young men in Nairobi who formed the "Street Family Dance Crew." He embedded with them to capture their raw determination to escape poverty, police harassment, and family issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a story that feels like a distant world today; those dancers used to perform outside nightclubs in the CBD, but the city has since become a ghost town. Many bars closed down and replaced by restaurants that shut their doors by 9:00 PM. Itโ€™s a story that captured a time in Nairobi that is long gone. In 2024, Nick and I united as he covered the protests. While I participated in the demonstrations, he worked on an unnamed film and we often discussed safety tips. I was a storyteller before I was an activist, so I knew a thing or two about staying safe in the streets while documenting potentially dangerous stories. When Nick was falsely arrested in May 2025, for allegedly producing the BBC documentary, Blood Parliament - two of the three people arrested with him were working with me. I received a call shortly after their arrest and faced the difficult task of calling my colleagues' parents to deliver the news. The arrest was hostile; they were forced to hand over their phones and passwords, and when their equipment was finally returned, it was infected with spyware. What remains hidden from the public eye after an arrest are the cold cells, the degrading police interrogations, the court arraignments, the stares, and the judgment from both friends and strangers. Sometimes even the loss of clients who donโ€™t want to be associated with โ€œenemies of the state.โ€ On a personal level, the trauma of such an arrest can lead to depression, alcoholism, or insomnia. In Nickโ€™s case, his body crumbled, a hidden disease manifested, and before we could truly understand what it was, it stole him from us. His passing is an indictment of our failed healthcare system. Good healthcare is not free. We do not have enough blood in our blood banks and patients must organize their own donors in both public and private hospitals. Furthermore, specialized medical care is so expensive and out of reach that his family and friends were in the middle of fundraising for a life-saving bone marrow transplant in India. I am glad that he was able to produce his latest work, The People Shall, last year. The documentary is a first-hand eyewitness account of the events of June 25th, 2024, when a new republic was born. In his honour, and in honour of the hundreds of thousands suffering due to poor healthcare in this country, may we take our power back. Nick was good people. He had a positive attitude toward life and brought love and laughter into every room he entered. He could lift heavier weights at the gym than people much older and bigger than him. I had the chance to lift weights with him and his co-accused friends; he was so confident that he was the only one lifting bare-chested. That was 'confidence pro-max,' and he beat us in lifting heavier weights and doing more sets. In September 2025, I woke up early to ensure my son was ready to go drone filming with Nick. My son had recently acquired his drone pilot license, and Nick had taken him under his wing as he worked on a new film - a project he was looking forward to finishing. He surprised us all with his early exit on January 7th, but we thank God we had the chance to spend time with him. As we grieve Nickโ€™s death, may his story inspire you to leave that boring job, find your purpose, and live a life that leaves an impact. I am so grateful for Nickโ€™s life. May God comfort his family and friends and give them strength. He will be dearly missed.
