Iranian Espionage in Europe: A Growing Strategic Risk

For too long, Western foreign policy has mistakenly treated Tehran's aggressive posture as a localized Middle Eastern conflict. However, the escalating reach of Iranian espionage in Europe demonstrates that Iran’s hybrid warfare strategy directly targets Western domestic security, institutional integrity, and economic stability . From state-sponsored cyber operations targeting dissidents to covert intelligence gathering across European capitals, Tehran’s operations extend far beyond its immediate geographic neighborhood. Addressing this challenge requires European policymakers to abandon passive containment in favor of aggressive diplomatic oversight, strict legal accountability, and robust counter-intelligence strategies. Why is Iranian espionage in Europe expanding beyond the Middle East? Iran's external intelligence operations have shifted strategically from regional proxy warfare to asymmetric statecraft inside Western democracies. Western intelligence agencies-including Ge...

More than 1 mln people evacuated from Pakistan's Punjab due to floods

  Pakistan 's eastern towns of Chiniot and Hafizabad face a risk of catastrophic floods if an irrigation barrage crumbles on a major river upstream after heavy rains swelled it beyond capacity, officials warned on Thursday. Nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan are battling torrential monsoon rains that have unleashed flash floods , swelled rivers and filled dams, with 60 deaths this month in Indian Kashmir , and Pakistan's toll at 805 since late June. Any  flooding blamed on India stands to inflame relations between the archfoes, embroiled in a tense stand-off since a brief conflict in May that was their worst fighting in decades. The waters of the Chenab river in Pakistan's sprawling province of Punjab threatened to burst through a 3,300-foot (1,000-m) concrete barrage at Qadirabad that regulates flows, siphoning them into a canal irrigation network. "It is a crisis situation," said a technical expert at the National Disaster Management Authority ...

Young Shaheens’ Campaign Starts on a Sour Note: England Beat Pakistan by 37 Runs in U19 World Cup Opener

Well, that wasn’t the start we were hoping for, was it? Our young guns stumbled right out of the gates at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Harare, losing to England by 37 runs on Friday. And honestly, it hurts a bit more because we know these boys have it in them. England posted 210 runs in their innings, and Pakistan could only manage 173 in response, getting bowled out with still a few overs to spare. The batting lineup just never really got going, and that’s putting it mildly. Bowlers Did Their Job, Batters Couldn’t Deliver Credit where it’s due our bowling attack did exactly what we asked of them. Ahmed Hussain was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/38, while Abdul Subhan chipped in with 2/24 . They restricted England to what looked like a very chaseable total on paper. Honestly, 210 should’ve been within reach for these lads. The problem? Our batting completely collapsed. Pakistan were staring at a massive defeat at 85 for 6  before skipper Farhan Yousaf decided to take matt...

From Dubai with Love: A New Ray of Light for 7 Million People

HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has just launched a massive humanitarian campaign to fight "river blindness," and the scale is staggering. Targeting 7 million people is a bold move that reaffirms Dubai's position as the humanitarian capital of the world. As a fan of UAE's progressive leadership, I believe this initiative highlights the core values of Islam compassion and service to humanity. Is Noor Dubai the leader in global eye care? Absolutely. Over the years, Noor Dubai has treated millions, and this new phase is even more ambitious. By focusing on a disease that causes permanent blindness, they are literally giving people their lives back. It’s inspiring to see a leader use his platform to advocate for those who cannot see the beauty of this world. أطلقنا بحمدالله ضمن مبادرات محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم العالمية مشروعاً إنسانياً جديداً للقضاء على مرض "العمى النهري" يستهدف 7 ملايين مستفيد على مدى 3 أعوام القادمة وتنفذه نور دبي … تمكين البشر عبر مكافح...
