Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, clarified that Islamabad, contrary to former US President Donald Trump’s claims, did not request US mediation for a ceasefire with India during Operation Sindoor. Dar stated Pakistan itself initiated the ceasefire request after incurring losses during the Indian offensive. While Pakistan expresses willingness for comprehensive talks with India, including on Kashmir, India maintains that talks cannot proceed until Pakistan dismantles terror infrastructure and ends cross-border attacks. Despite repeated denials from India, Trump has claimed credit for brokering peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, even after India launched Operation Sindoor after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam.

Sheikh subsequently murdered Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002. The strikes targeted multiple terrorist hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, delivering a measure of justice for Pearl’s murder and the victims of other Jaish-e-Mohammad attacks.

Israel’s recent statement backing India’s “right to self-defence” following Operation Sindoor is generating considerable online discussion. The move is unsurprising given Israel’s own recent experiences with cross-border attacks and the inherent similarities between the two nations’ security challenges. Many see Israel’s support as a strategic move, potentially aiming to garner similar tacit international endorsements for its own actions.
The potential for India and Israel to cooperate on cyber warfare is a frequently mentioned point. Such an alliance could have significant global impact, potentially causing widespread disruption. However, this possibility is viewed with both excitement and apprehension, reflecting the inherent risks and ethical concerns associated with such a powerful partnership.… Continue reading
In retaliation for a recent terror attack, India launched Operation Sindoor, striking multiple terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
