Pakistan is planning to acquire 40 advanced Chinese J-35 stealth fighter jets, marking China's first export of fifth-generation aircraft. The deal aims to replace Pakistan's aging fleet of F-16s and Mirage fighters, enhancing its air defense capabilities. This acquisition, expected to be delivered within two years, could significantly alter regional dynamics, particularly with India.

The Ukrainian military has banned soldiers from using the word "retreat" in press communications, mandating positive terms like "offensive" and "victory" instead. An RFE/RL reporter revealed widespread internal dishonesty, with commanders fearful of reporting problems to superiors. Despite mobilizing over a million troops since 2022, Ukraine faces serious challenges, including 100,000 desertion cases. Plans are underway to recruit 160,000 more troops while Russian forces continue advancing in Donbass.

In a bold statement, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has accused the United States, Israel, and Turkey of orchestrating the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria. Khamenei claims that the collapse of Assad's regime is the result of a joint "American-Zionist" plot, with Turkey also playing a significant role. This comes after the rapid advance of rebel forces in Syria, led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which resulted in Assad’s regime losing control over key territories. As the situation unfolds, Khamenei also emphasized that Iran’s role in Syria is strictly "advisory." Watch as we dive into the geopolitical implications of these claims and what it means for the future of the Middle East.

In a surge of sectarian violence in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, at least 37 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in less than 24 hours. The clashes, primarily between Sunni and Shia communities, have intensified in recent months, particularly in the mountainous Kurram district, a region known for its long-standing sectarian tensions. The violence escalated after gunmen targeted Shia convoys, killing 43 on Thursday, prompting retaliatory attacks by Shia groups, who set fire to Sunni-dominated areas. Despite efforts to mediate peace, the region remains unstable, with security forces attempting to restore calm amid growing tensions.

In this video, we explore the geopolitical implications of this naval growth, how China is involved, and what it means for regional security in the Indian Ocean. Will Pakistan's military buildup lead to increased tensions with India, or will it exacerbate the economic difficulties its people are already facing?

In Pakistan, nearly 1,000 people have been arrested after violent clashes erupted during protests demanding the release of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The protests, which began over the weekend, escalated into violent confrontations with police in Islamabad. Khan’s supporters, including his wife Bushra Khan and senior political aides, stormed the capital's red zone, breaking through security barricades. Pakistani authorities conducted a large-scale operation with paramilitary forces to disperse the protesters. The police chief denied allegations of using live ammunition, although Khan’s aides claimed hundreds were injured and several protesters were killed. The protests, initially peaceful, turned chaotic, leading to multiple fatalities and a significant security operation. This is the latest chapter in the ongoing unrest following Khan’s imprisonment since August 2023.
