April29-2026--three dissident judges of IHC transferred by JCP...two saved from the guillotine in the nick of time by sindhi brotherhood...one of the idiotic judges had ordered the demise/end of CDA on a minor complaint...they think they are very powerful and keep threatening primeminister and police officials...the three judges were part of a cartel who complained of being under the influence of ISI and intelligence officials....if they were being monitored or controlled it was their own failure to control their court rooms...They refused to cooperate with CJ brought in from Sindh..Sindhi judge looked like a riverine dacoit initially...one other was removed on a fake degree

April28-2026--The USA has studied Irans most recent proposal that puts forth two suggestions...one that nuclear talks be put of till later and the belligerent and vicious Iran Army handle the Hormuz...many agree that gaurantees cannot be given to Iran until it is run by peaceful civilians rather than radical shiites/ retired soldiers...the Iran Army has long been known to board and confiscate oil tankers..nowhere does the military handle peaceful ships like oil tankers and container ships... Iran should have an unarmed coast guard...and it should not interfere with oil tankers coming from non Iran ports...Rubio says Iran is serious but does not address US red lines...the Gulf should be a demilitarized zone...nobodies military is aceptable...It is the USA that seems frightened as Iran threatens ships and sea farers..the US refuses to discuss sensitive matters in the press

many in the Gulf blame Pakistans animosity for the Iranian attacks...and doing nothing to stop them...
April27-2026--The offramp isin play as Iran blocks Hormuz and the US blocks the Gulf...some ships that are unimportant to both sides still move across...Trump so subdued that he will not attack or use a nuclear device...If he wanted this situation blowing up Kharg and a refinery on day one would have ended the war...!now everyone has to wait...as both sides scratch their heads...Aragchi not brave/mature enough to go to Washington or call Trump and probably will use Islamabad as a mailbox...in the USA decision making may have been handed to a committee as Trump seemed unable to think of something new ...
April27-2026--While major projects in Punjab and Islamabad are completed in months in Sindh the BRT red line was started in 2017..it is incomplete yet and one part the University Road has been stuck in a mire..Finally the CM cancelled the contract and asked the FWO a military organization involved in many projects in the North to complete just the University Road portion in three months...There are projects in islamabad like the 10th avenue which are never going tobe completed due to a similar apathy...
April27-2026--Aragchi in Moscow says that USA had excessive demands...according to general knowledge the US had only three demands...limiting or ending enrichment or as some say giving a clear no nuclear bomb clause, limiting the over excessive missiles cache and shutting down iranian proxies...iran said it was defending its sovreignity...however Iran failed to show respect for other states and allow freedom of navigation in the gulf...The only solution some say is another canal thru Oman or the UAE...or lets say give passive Oman authority over the Hormuz...Pakistan many say didnt have the punch to push for a solution...Their arguments many say were mediocre like 'have patience' or even 'dont back down' etc.Other solutions include all gulf states to control Gulf and Hormoz. Iran needs to understand that u dont need enrichment or a nuclear bomb to use atomic technology...Even Zimbabwe uses nuclear isotopes.. The benefits were only for the world and Iran...mediation requires extreme knowledge of issues...you probably need a Kissinger...! However Shabaz and the CDF were already subjugated by shiism...! lets say Shabaz only had one ploy..."sit ..have a chair...why sit on the ground..." or in punjabi..."hun dusso ki ghal eh.."

April24-2026--Trump says whatever he does it is working..while Iran says world has been frightened about us...nobody making a beeline for Iran barring Pakistans officials. In the past also there werent a multitude of visitors...their best friend was probably Asad of Syria and obviously the proxies

Aprl23-2026--Pakistan which has even started load shedding during the day as summer heats up issues tenders for three LNG cargos...possible suppliers could be azeri and russian traders...Pakistan does not see Hormuz opening up in the near future as Iran currently not interested in talks and the US presents a scenario longer than 3-5 days for any meaningful talks.

April19-2026--Iran has again stopped the Hormuz and apparently was firing at indian oil tankers..the USA should take over the Oman side and check whether it is fit for use...if it is not powerful enough to clear the Iranians out of an international waterway...reports that Iran somehow blocked the carrier fleet entry into gulf...
April19-2026--The USA should quickly make agreements with Iran as it has ordered 48-SU35s from Russia..with a range of 2000km combined with a good long range missile like the R37 it could be deadly in air combat...India too has ordered 400 of the R-37m which has a range of 350-400km..Russia could deliver upto 16 of the planes this year...Algeria has acquired its first Su57 and India has been offered local construction of 100-SU57's...also according to Israel four large chinese air transporters landed at a tehran airport...they could be delivering deadly shore to ship cruise missiles or or aerial defence systems for Tehran as u dont need four large transporters for delivering short range cruise missiles...Pakistan also moving into long range 250km cruise drones...bangladesh has the largest army at 6.8m(paramilitary + regulars) followed by Vietnam at 5.3m..The USA army size is 1.3million..

April16-2026--Pakistan has started production from OGDC's largest well Baragzai X-01 in Kohat which produces 15000 barrels per day and 40mmscfd of gas..the well could have a peak output of 25000 barrels per day and 60mmscfd of gas......most of Pakistans wells have a history of low output..This increases countries output by 10%

April6-2026--Trump says Iran war is basically over and they are facilitating Lebanon-Israel talks...he also says that on Chinese requests they have decided to open the Hormuz and sanction everyone who buys Iranian oil...earlier a Chinese tanker had rushed thru the Hormuz without being stopped...reports suggest that US and Iran nearing solution on Lebanon, Hormuz and nuclear issues...reports from Washington suggest that a meeting ground might be found on how long Iran should stop enrichment between 5 years and 20 years..! Iran might have realized that being a friendly state can ease resolution of problems even though a nuclear bomb might be something that creates a feeling of greater power...Some doubts asto Iran having already built a nuclear bomb and maybe theatening to use it or their recently purchased anti ship cruise missiles or Stingers from China/Russia...reports of use of Chinese sattelites by Iran to bomb or guide their missiles..there are stationary tankers all around the gulf and all the way upto europe with 100 tankers headed to the USA..the gulf is shown as almost clogged as ships cant move thru...and there is a long line of crude oil/diesel trucks from Iraq all the way to a Syrian port refinery..!Iraq offering discounts to transport via jordan, syria and turkey...abudhabi has a pipeline to Fujeirah and most will invest in alternate pipelines after Hormuz...even if iran shutdowns the red sea...oil still could go thru the suez...Pakistan looking for spot deals for LNG...which is available from Russia and the USA and possibly singapore or chinese traders
