Is Trump’s Two-Week Timeline for Ending the Iran War Realistic?

The latest declarations from the White House have sent shockwaves through global markets, as President Donald Trump suggests the U.S. could wind down its military campaign against Iran within two to three weeks. However, as domestic petrol prices climb past $4 a gallon and the Strait of Hormuz remains a volatile chokepoint, many are questioning if this mission accomplished narrative is premature. The reality on the ground characterized by a lack of formal negotiations and a mowing the lawn military strategy suggests that ending this conflict will be far more complex than a simple withdrawal. The Stone Age Strategy: Defining the U.S. Military Objective President Trump has pivoted from seeking a diplomatic grand bargain to a strategy of pure attrition. By stating that a deal is no longer necessary, he has redefined success as the degradation of Iran’s capabilities to the point of being put into the Stone Ages.This shift signals an Israelization of American war aims, where the goal is n...

Arab League Condemns Israeli Raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque, Warning of Regional Instability


 The Arab League has strongly condemned the Israeli police raid on Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, calling it a threat to regional stability. In an emergency meeting held after the incident, the League issued a statement denouncing the "crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against defenceless Muslim worshippers" in the mosque.

The pre-dawn raid, which took place on Wednesday, has sparked outrage among Muslim communities around the world. According to reports, Israeli police entered the mosque compound and fired stun grenades and rubber bullets at worshippers who had been praying inside.

The Arab League's statement warned that the raid could "ignite a spiral of violence that threatens security and stability in the region and the world." It also called on the international community to take action to stop Israel from carrying out further attacks on the mosque.

Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has also condemned the raid, calling it a "dangerous escalation" and a violation of international law. He added that the Arab League would continue to work to support the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom and independence.

The Al-Aqsa mosque, which is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is considered one of the holiest sites in Islam. It is also a major point of contention between Israelis and Palestinians, with both sides claiming ownership of the site.

The recent raid has sparked protests and clashes in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. Palestinian leaders have called for a "day of rage" in response to the attack, and there are fears that the violence could escalate further in the coming days.

The Arab League's condemnation of the raid highlights the growing tensions in the region and the deepening divide between Israelis and Palestinians. It also underscores the need for a diplomatic solution to the long-standing conflict, which has claimed the lives of countless people and destabilized the region for decades.

As the international community watches events unfold in Jerusalem, it is clear that the situation remains highly volatile. The Arab League's warning of regional instability is a reminder of the urgent need for all parties to work towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict, one that respects the rights and dignity of all people in the region.

 In a recent development, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) clarified to the Lahore High Court that there is no longer a ban on broadcasting former Prime Minister Imran Khan's speeches. This revelation came during the hearing of a petition filed by Imran, who had challenged Pemra's decision to prohibit satellite TV channels from airing his speeches and press talks. The initial ban was imposed swiftly after Imran criticized former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, accusing him of shielding current rulers in alleged corruption cases. Imran argued that Pemra's ban was fueled by vengeance, leading to a legal battle that spanned eight hearings. During the recent court session, Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza stressed that Pemra should refrain from pressuring TV channels on the concerns raised by the petitioner. Surprisingly, Pemra's counsel, Haroon Duggal, stated unequivocally that there is no existing ban on broadcasting Imran Khan's speeches. This reso...
