Pakistan's quiet diplomatic strategy, emphasizing dialogue over coercion, serves as a crucial model for de-escalating tensions between Iran and the United States in the volatile Persian Gulf region.

The Tariff as a Tool: America's Neo-Colonial Gambit Against the Global South

The United States proposes to impose new tariffs on imports from 60 economies, including Canada, the EU, Mexico, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Cambodia, citing failures to prevent forced labor.
