The Daily Pakistan Politics (aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) Jun16-30, 2025

June 26-2025--Peter Hegseth talks to journalists as if they are the scum of the earth just as Karoline Leavit talks disparagingly about immigrants...It is really disgusting and insulting...their military discussion only explained that the US military apparently has people studying buildings for future bombings...throwing bombs on target is an easy job in today's planes. Apart from that there was nothing in Fordo apart from centrifuges and those don't work anymore...centrifuges are spinning on a axis and would fall if you pushed them...so they are destroyed as are centrifuges at Isphahan and Natanz...now only Iran can setup another centrifuge center or repair  the ones damaged...here the need is to end the situation...u ask the Iranians not to rebuild enrichment and remove all sanctions in exchange...if u do not do that u will need to go in to bomb again and again and Iran will have to get surface to air missiles and modern aircraft to build an effective Airforce and air defence...so if u don't end the situation than whether the sites have been obliterated or not will not matter...

Jun25-2025--officer among two killed in south waziristan operation...11 terrorists gunned down in sararogha...two women caught in crossfire. Five security men killed in Kurram operation

Jun25--2025--after extensive damage by US strikes and some Israeli attempts at simple targets there is some doubts at the extent of overall damage...You cannot see centrifuges even by satellite and the Fordow damage is not quite visible...probably more damage at Isphahan...Experts say Iran has been a few months from a bomb since 2007 and it was the political will that was lacking...now one US estimate of damage says the damage will only slow Iran a few months to a few decades while Iran says they can start  almost immediately...it depends on how many centrifuges they had saved or had in storage...centrifuges can be damaged just by stopping electricity. However, if Iran has enriched uranium lying around, they just need to setup the centrifuges or get them or rebuild them...so what is needed is that Trump gives them a good offer on  a agreement and gets Israel out of Gaza and the Iranians out of enrichment...you can only play ball if everyone plays ball...for example every country needs security. Trump could offer them F-35's...! the destruction caused to various sites suggests that considerable rebuilding would have tobe done for getting them workable...

Jun25-2025--Donald Trump announced a ceasefire after 12 days of his war against Iran and it was generally thought tobe holding

Jun24-2025--Trump callas on Iran and Israel to back down...Doha base intercepts most of the missiles fired at Usa base by Iran

Jun24-2025--Iran fires missiles at US military bases in various Arab countries...while the bases could have Patriot missiles, they are generally open for assault by air...Trump the weak rubbery statesman has aired the failure of his attacks on Iran's enrichment facilities...They have made no difference to Iran's attitude...Trump and Israel have achieved their primary objective of ending enrichment facilities but their war against Iran has another dubious devious objective...Iran is a relatively stable state and despite some upheavals Khamenei has remained a solid ruler...the reasoning could be the overwhelming Shiite population controlled by Ayatullah's ...This is the strongest attack on his rule...he has announced three Ayatullah's from whom his successor is tobe chosen...Iran does not have many powerbases apart from Khamenei...Pezkeshian the president might be number two...apart from that are the IRGC and the army...The prospect of a peoples uprising in such a situation is difficult...apart from that would be the elimination of Khamenei...but another Ayatullah could be more liberal or just as tough and try to appease/fight the US...!however real regime change could occur thru a IRGC/army coup even though the IRGC is said to be very loyal and the military not too keen to interfere...imposing someone from outside is difficult to imagine...there are not many political groups in Iran. The US is said to have resources to start a uprising to create a second front for the regime by bringing together some smaller groups...Trump and Israel are the ones who should accept defeat having achieved their primary objective...Iran supposed to have around 3000 missiles, and their primary failure has been a lack of effective airpower...

Ai has deep thoughts on power regime change and seems to support social media control with inputs from inside and exiles...how that is to be achieved is considerably difficult and what sort of government comes about could have its problems too...usually some sort of democracy is favored even though the outcomes in militant controlled states and relatively normal countries are quite different...they remember the coup in 1953 and regimes change attempts in Afghanistan, Libya , Iraq and Egypt...the best way would be a planned uprising of people in all major cities. How the IRGC deals with them or supports them is probably what might dictate the outcome ...

Jun23-2025--Trump bombs three Iranian enrichment centers Fordo, Natanz and Isphahan with bunker busters and tomahawk missiles from B-2 bombers and a submarine

June22-2025--as expected US B-2 bombers flew from the US and bombed out Iranian enrichment sites Natanz, Fordow and Isphahan in the middle of the night ...The bombs used were the biggest in the world along with tomahawk missiles...Iran says that it had taken out the fissile materials and there was no radiation spread...thus the USA became the second country to attack nuclear sites after Israel...there is widespread anger at the US action and Iran says its retaliation could take several days...Israel and the USA are Iran's only enemies in the region...Technically the USA and Iran are now at war

Jun22-2025--earlier Iran had rejected European proposals on its uranium enrichment as unrealistic

Jun22-2025--six security men killed in attacks across Baluchistan and Kp..six terrorists also killed...two policemen killed in Gadoon Amazai while sitting at a hotel drinking water. In Mardans mountainous regions bodies of four including two soldiers found...militant commander killed in DI Khan

Jun21-2025--one child killed in quadcopter attack in Makin, south waziristan

June 20-2025--SC CB says that high court judges can be transferred

June 19-2025--The US never learns its lessons...it is still in places that it went to in the second world war...Trump had pledged never to send troops to regional or other petty conflicts...however his history shows involvement on literally all armed conflicts...now he has tried to play both sides and intervene on one side or the other...one day he says Israel is his proxy and is fighting his battle...the next he says he wants to intervene as Israel belongs to him and gets all the coverage...he should let the conflicts reach a conclusion... otherwise Iran will have many more targets...at the moment it seems that he wants in on all conflicts some of which he says he can resolve...Israel is the regional bully and does not need his support...Hitler seems a poor cousin of the Israelis Netanyahu...

June19-2025--WSJ reports that Trump has approved US strikes on Iran

Jun18-2025--PMLn federal budget provisions being criticized by everyone...reducing 18% tax on small vehicles to 15% is meaningless...it amounts to a tax of 4.5 lakhs...similarly the tax on solar panels is baseless. The Shahbaz sharif clique is jealous of solar users...Discos get solar electricity at Rs10 when the govt provides electricity to them at Rs.25...Aurangzeb's arguments are pathetic...if taxation is necessary, it should be applied across the board...e.g. increase sales tax to 30%...!

 Jun18-2025--Trump started to turn turtle after the G-7 meeting...he had already threatened to join the battle calling his aircraft carrier to move to the middle east. His intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard said that Iran was not making a nuclear device...Iran has long maintained nuclear enrichment centers which are at best  useless if they are not making weapons grade uranium...Trump also reportedly called for unconditional surrender by Iran claiming that Israel was working for him...Bombing of Iran continued for a fifth day with Israel claiming that they destroyed Iran's air defenses and misile caches...Iran was retaliating but to a much lesser degree...there were long lines at Tehran's bakeries and petrol pumps. Some Israelis too were fleeing to Cyprus. US aircraft are already shooting down Iranian drones...the US has substantial forces and warships in the middle east and Diego Garcia...usually a aircraft carrier is stationed at Bahrain...The USA may try to use its bombers to use 30000lb bunker busting bombs on Fordrow the third Iranian enrichment center...they are also threatening to eliminate the Iranian head Khamenei and attempt to change the government or its attitude...with Teheran decimated the US could attempt to capture it and force a government change...ground fighting is a different ball game though...The Iranians could also back down and agree to end uranium enrichment...! Tehran said that it had fired hypersonic missiles at Israel...while reports suggest that Israel may be running out of Arrow missiles that are used inits missile defence system...Khamenei also said that the US would suffer if it joined the israeli attack...Israel also said that it had attacked two enrichment parts factories in Teheran

Jun17-2025--five terrorists killed in KP operations

Jun17-12025--Iran urges Trump to force Israel to a ceasefire...Trump still trying to pressurize Iran

Jun16-2025--Israel hits a refinery and the Paras gas field the world's largest in Iran and eighty other positions all over Iran while Iran bombs Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem...Iran becoming more effective in hitting Israel...the duplicity of the US in pushing dubious diplomacy and attacking Iranian drones...Trump threatens Iran with decisive attack...a nuclear agreement now meaningless as Iran will have to rebuild facilities and train scientists...Russia will have to help Iran in a decisive attack...Iran could possibly buy missiles from Pakistan and China...Pakistan closes border with Iran and Baluchistan border areas will probably have difficulty in fuel coming from Iran as well as foodstuff...probably possibility of rising oil prices if Iran goes out of circulation. Israel literally drowning inits military dominance /power

June 16-2025--with little practical knowledge in how to deal with climate change Pakistan allocates Rs85.34 billion. Money can only be spent on floods and rain damage which is the crux of climate change here...as well as reservoir depletion due to lack of rains...In Rawalpindi Khanpur dam and Rawal dam are almost depleted...

how bhuttos got into politics in 1958...

debacle in Dacca

debacle in Dacca
total humiliation...India had steadily destabilized east pakistan over twenty years playing on ethnic, financial, development and military concerns...pakistan was not that rich at that time and the ethnicists played on phsychosis generated by cyclones, floods, tea and jute...the army and west pakistani politicians could not accept a bengali dominated government and a small army contingent could not defend against the mukti bahini and the indians as teh US withdrew its support as usual...When teh going gets tough teh US chickens out as usual...!! The indians have continued teh same themes in karachi, sindh and balochistan but similar tougher responses have not allowed their success although pakistan is now at best a divided land with a pathetic center...!!While it left pakistan numb at the time many now feel the seperation was a proper solution as east pakistanis did not get along with pakistan and they would be better able to solve their problems with india...others still pine away for the lost land of rivers, tea and jute...others suggest that india should handover kashmir in exchange...while some still want to repatriate those considered pakistanis and left stranded in bangladeshi camps...others however heave a sigh of relief as teh problems with the remaining provinces are generally insoluble.....and ethnic regionalism or provincialism mixed with economic and racial nonsense is not a pleasant mode of politics anyway...
