By Mirza Abdul Aleem Baig History rarely offers moments where power, pressure, and prudence collide so visibly and so dangerously. The unfolding Iran-United States confrontation is one such moment. At a moment when the world stands on the edge of economic and strategic rupture, the looming second round of Iran-United States talks in Islamabad is
- From Chokepoint to Checkpoint: Islamabad Peace Talks & the Management of Global Disorder

By Mirza Abdul Aleem Baig The Strait of Hormuz has never been just a narrow maritime passage; it is the central lifeline of a strained global order, channeling a vast share of the world’s energy flows in times of stability.

By Mirza Abdul Aleem Baig The map of the Middle East is no longer defined by borders, it is defined by chokepoints under fire. From the Strait of Hormuz to the Persian Gulf and stretching into the Arabian Sea, the arteries of global energy and trade are being transformed into zones of contestation. What is

The character of warfare is undergoing a profound transformation. Modern battlefields are no longer defined solely by tanks, fighter jets, or missile systems; they are increasingly shaped by algorithms, computational speed, and microelectronic superiority. At the heart of this transformation lies semiconductor technology, which now serves as the foundational infrastructure for emerging military innovations, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing.

By Mirza Abdul Aleem Baig The joint U.S.-Israeli military operation “Operation Epic Fury” that eliminated Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei (1939-2026), will be remembered not simply as a military strike, but as a geopolitical rupture. It is the kind of moment that divides eras. In Washington and Jerusalem, it may be framed as

By Mirza Abdul Aleem Baig In the long shadow of the Durand Line, history rarely sleeps. It mutters through mountain passes, echoes in border posts, and now reverberates in the uneasy silence between Islamabad and Kabul. The present tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are not the product of a single incident or a fleeting misunderstanding;

By Mirza Abdul Aleem Baig Balochistan – Pakistan’s largest yet most underdeveloped province has once again moved from the margins to the center of national and international strategic attention. A recent wave of coordinated insurgent attacks, unfolding alongside intensifying global competition over rare earth minerals, signals that the province is no longer merely a domestic

By Mirza Abdul Aleem Baig Bilawal Zardari’s unveiling of a “Sindh Vision” at the President’s House is less a moment of policy renewal and more a reminder of a long-standing contradiction between rhetoric and reality. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has governed Sindh almost uninterruptedly since 2008 – nearly seventeen years of continuous control over
