The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change!" adding, "There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) nuclear 'dust'. "It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!)," also noting, "Nothing has been touched from the date of attack."

Tehran synagogue the only one in Iran hit...
Apr6-2026--The humungous crisis-ridden shabaz sharif petrol rates bring some things to mind..one should remember that diesel prices/production have been under pressure even before but have now skyrocketed...In europe which also uses almost 50-60% diesel.... diesel rates have risen 30% whereas in Pakistan they have skyrocketed to over Rs500 per liter...in rembrance in the 1960's a bustrip was Rs5 to Jhelum from Rawalpindi in old rickety and GTS buses on pot holed GT road..petrol was also Rs5 per gallon..Jump to the Yellow bus era of nawaz sharif in the1990's when even cabs became yellow and mercedes airconditoned buses were imported the bus rate rose to jhelum..Rs80..and now the petrol shortage era of Shabaz Sharif the bus rate to jhelum is Rs820-920 or more with the dubious sharif subsidies considered more political than any workable solution...one notices that the people are forgotten totally in this economics and perhaps they can travel in the railways which are subsidised same rate for three months...buses too have changed and one sees more developed motorways and chinese fast yutong hybrid/electric buses going along at 120kph...a yutong manufacturing factory also setup at karachi while buses are imported from china for metros, intercity and local routes...In punjab's maryam nawaz era airconditioned EV buses being introduced on all city busroutes at Rs20..In the mid-1960's one could go from Lalkurti to the foreign office in islamabad on a double decker bus for paisa seventy-five and a seat on a tonga from lalkurti to Raja Bazaar paisa twenty-five..for Rs.5 u could go almost anywhere on a yellow/black taxi .In the maryan nawaz era local buses are free for one month and motorcylists get Rs2000 for one month...just in passing in the 1960's mutton was Rs.4 a kilo(nowadays Rs3000 a kilo) and naans almosts double the size of today five for paisa twenty-five(char anna)(now one naan for Rs25).earnings were also low Rs3 daily for a labourer and Rs7 daily for a mason..a cement bag Rs9...

Apr5-2026--Pakistani meditation efforts almost ended as reports suggest Aragci refused to come to islambad ...he says it depended on terms and conditions...replacing USA with Iran not feasible many think for Gulf countries as Iran says they can talk multilaterally or unilaterally...Iran too will have to end its war with gulf countries and turn gulf into a peaceful place or gulf states will have to find other ways to transport oil and gas...talks focus may have shifted to Cairo
Apr5-2026--Two C-130 and two blackhawk helicopters possibly destroyed near Isphahan as US says pilot of plane downed yeterday rescued from deep inside mountains...planes either looking for downed pilot or trying to locate enriched uranium...That puts at least four to six more pilots downed or killed...Iranians say C-130 trying to refuel helicopters...!

Pakistan-china five points dont even takeoff...Iran says to continue war even if Trump quits...Trump has been suggesting that he may quit Nato as europe and his perceptions differ vastly and leave the world to a blocked Hormuz with Iran selecting who to pass thru..the gulf states also would wish him to end the issue so that Iran can be subdued somehow... leaving a wounded Iran with sufficient proxies especially in shiite states does not solve the problem for the gulf states who see along term problems as they repair their infrastruture with possibilities of shiite proxies in Pakistan too...

April1-2026--Pakistan and China announce a possible face saving five point war ending framework...stresses immediate cessation of hostilities, direct talks, protection of critical infrastructure, humanitarian access and secure maritime routes...looks like a difficult deal with cessation of hostilities likely/possible in a few days to weeks...talks that already are being bandied about have no resonance in Iran but USA willing if it is dominant..iranian foreign minister says he even gets messages from Witikoff...infrastructure can be saved if ceasefire is voluntary and immediate although although both sides lack basic human responses barring propaganda feeds/stuff...threats which are the lifeline of the war tobe stopped...one side wants a free Hormuz with other side wanting it own control...
April1-2026--Pakistan would be willing to takeover most oil shipments from the gulf to solve the Hormuz problem..Pakistan has recently offered Kuwait to ship its oil..thru Pakistan flagged tankers..Ishaq Dar maybe in China to offer them a similar deal...!

April1-2026--kharg is a limestone gulf island 30 kilometers from iran onits northern tip...and 500km from Hormuz...it has capability to berth 8-10 large tankers simultaneously..most of iranian coastline is shallow..it has 10000 residents and has a natural water supply...wherever there is limestone...oil is not far away...it has a storage tank capacity of 20-30 million barrels...it is connected to most of its offshore and onshore oil by pipeline...Khuzestan has the most oil ...over 90% of iranian oil is exported from here...iranian oil types are Iranian heavy, Iranian light and forozan...occupying the island or bombing it out would end iranian oil exports and they would have to build a new process..iran has been exporting oil thru china despite sanctions...kharg has a capacity of 20-30million barrels and could fill 2-3 tankers daily...fighting without oil exports would be difficult..Trump would love to control irans oil exports..but is reticent from going ahead and either occupying or obliteratiing it...
Apr1-2026--Government overdoing misdirected oil subsidies and lockdown efforts and its mediation efforts going nowhere after delivery of 15 points...what ishaq dar is doing in China seems unrelated to anything...many say he fell while walking on a carpet and suffered a hairline fracture...or it might have been a stroke...governments efforts seem like political upstaging at best with a duped opposition tied down...they now want to hospitalize Bushra with sightly differing eye problems...myopia, astigmatism and a posterior vitreous detachment...she also complains of flashes at night and pain in the right eye..diagnosed eyedrops and re consultation in four weeks...whatever the medical problem the dubious/dumb PTI only sees it as deliberate neglect and deprivation of fundamental rights..her husband has recovered his eyesight completely...both will now wear eyeglasses and wife will be called a bhengi..a derogatory term...for astigmatism...
