A Sobering Moment “A wounded past & murky future” by Owais Tohid in Arab News Pakistan quotes me: “The assumption that rational actors will always prevent a nuclear exchange is not foolproof in moments of emotional nationalism, miscalculation, or disinformation.” arabnews.pk/node/2603060

Looking forward to join the visiting Pakistan delegation at the Third Annual Pakistan Conference in DC this week. A timely and vital dialogue on 🇵🇰🇺🇸 relations under the Trump administration—challenges ahead, but also real opportunities for progress.

Amb Patterson: “The US-Pakistan relationship is so stuck in the past that India was not required to present any forensic or investigative evidence..An independent investigation, possibly by agencies like the FBI or Scotland Yard, should be the first step” dawn.com/news/1915714

I really enjoyed this in-depth and wide-ranging first episode of Talibanology with the brilliant Dr. Hassan Abbas. We covered everything from Taliban power rivalries to foreign policy, terrorism ties, and the future of the Emirate. Hassan Abbas podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tal…

Saddened to hear about the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London. Heartfelt prayers for the victims and their families. May the departed rest in peace. 🕊️ time.com/7293469/india-…

On this Day of Ghadir, I’m sharing key excerpts from “The Prophet’s Heir” — unpacking what truly transpired at Ghadir Khumm. Beyond celebration, it’s a moment to reflect on power, spiritual guardianship, and legacy in early Islam.

Honored to meet Professor Rohan Gunaratna this week on the sidelines of a conference in Uzbekistan. I presented him my book “The Return of the Taliban” and he kindly gifted me his powerful work “Sri Lanka Easter Sunday Massacre”. A memorable exchange of ideas and scholarship.

On this day of #Ashura, replugging my essay on the enduring lessons of Karbala — a timeless stand for justice, dignity, and defiance against tyranny. The legacy of Imam Husayn speaks to the heart of Islamic values. 👉 shorturl.at/ydlRO

“The sense of external threat and national unity has led many Pakistanis to rally around the armed forces, although this resurgence in support may prove to be transient," @watandost tells The Diplomat buff.ly/ojzqXMH
