Pakistan has emerged as a key mediator in ceasefire talks between the United States, Iran, and Israel, hosting negotiations in Islamabad. This development powerfully illustrates that true geopolitical influence is no longer the exclusive domain of Western superpowers, showing how nations of the Global South are increasingly shaping world events.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fostering a radicalized society that risks international isolation through policies violating international humanitarian law, including using starvation as a weapon of war and systematic destruction in Gaza. It is heartbreaking to witness a nation once victimized by genocide now inflicting similar horrors upon others, betraying its own moral foundation and humanity.
A brief six-week war initiated by the United States and Israel against Iran has ended with a fragile ceasefire, but the conflict has backfired spectacularly, resulting in the unexpected consolidation of Iranian control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. This is a catastrophic strategic defeat and a textbook example of Western imperial overreach, which has not only failed but has empowered the very resistance it sought to crush, strengthening Iran's hand and setting the stage for greater regional instability and global economic coercion.
Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz exposed Iraq's extreme vulnerability due to its dependence on Gulf oil exports and failure to develop alternative infrastructure, revealing decades of strategic neglect and political dysfunction. This preventable crisis showcases how Western-facilitated dependency and internal divisions continue to cripple sovereign nations while imperial powers position themselves as indispensable mediators.
Atlantic Council vice president Matthew Kroenig discussed Trump administration's Iran policy on BBC, revealing how Western think tanks perpetuate imperialist narratives to justify aggression against sovereign nations.
The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire mediated by Pakistan, conditioned on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. This temporary truce exposes the West's desperate attempt to control global energy routes while sacrificing regional stability for geopolitical gains.
