Hormuz chaos sparks warning: China could strangle Taiwan without firing a shot
China may not need to launch a military invasion of Taiwan to trigger a global economic crisis, according to a new analysis that draws lessons from recent disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.As Iran showed earlier in 2026, even limited interference with a key shipping choke point can rattle global markets: spiking prices, disrupting supply chains and shaking investor confidence. Analysts warn Beijing could apply a similar strategy to Taiwan, the world’s most critical hub for advanced semiconduct...

Round two coming up!
Islamabad is all set to hold a second round of talks between the US and Iran aimed at averting a catastrophic escalation in the ongoing war between them, also involving Israel. This inevitably is a tribute to the sound diplomacy by Pakistan, and the untiring efforts of Field Marshal Asim Munir, as well as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his government. What can be a catalyst for success is that Pakistan is trusted by both the warring sides, besides enjoying unflinching support from the Gulf S...
Credibility boost
Pakistan's economic narrative, long weighed down by uncertainty and stopgap actions, received a measure of reassurance this week as Fitch Ratings affirmed the country's long-term foreign currency issuer default rating at "B-" with a stable outlook. Such an assessment is a signal - both to markets and to policymakers - that stability, however tentative, may be beginning to take root. The affirmation reflects progress that cannot be dismissed lightly. Fiscal consolidation effort...

But rec...

America had a policy of an asymmetric cost model. It means costing the other side far more. Select a small state, lash out locally and coerce it economically and militarily. It helped America to maintain invincibility and adventurism in states like Libya, Venezuela, Panama and Grenada. All these states lacked the capacity to penalise America. This asymmetric model of cost, on the other hand, helped America, in all the historical years, to remain relevant. Iran has done a historic thing which h...
Securing a fragile peace
Securing a fragile peace in the Iran war can be more readily understood through the lens of Carl von Clausewitz, who conceptualised war and peace as part of a continuous political process rather than separate conditions. From his perspective, the current ceasefire is not a definitive end to hostilities but a recalibration of strategy by both sides. Peace, in this sense, emerges when the use of force no longer serves the political objectives of the actors involved. For both Iran and the US, the...
From laws to lived reality - ending violence against women
The laws have never been stronger. Yet for too many women in Pakistan, safety remains out of reach. This gap between legal progress and lived reality sits at the heart of the country's struggle to end violence against women. Over the past decade, there has been a growing national recognition of the problem. What was once dismissed as a "private matter" has moved into the open, entering courtrooms, legislative debates and public conversation. More services now exist to support wom...
