T20 World Cup
India has rejected the visa applications of Pakistani-origin players of the US cricket team. Ali Khan’s Instagram story made it clear that he is currently not allowed to enter India. This situation is also worrying because most of the matches of the US in Group A are scheduled in India. According to sources, several associate teams are worried about visa issues ahead of the matches in India, especially those players with Pakistani backgrounds or documents, as their applications are subject to additional scrutiny. This situation has made administrative issues an unnecessary discussion ahead of the tournament.

The Mirage of the Donroe Doctrine
By abandoning the pretext of ideology in favor of overt resource seizure, the United States risks accelerating the very fragmentation it seeks to arrest. The Trap of Strategic OverstretchThe primary contradiction of the Donroe Doctrine lies in its divergence from the prudent strategy of contraction. Instead of consolidating power, the Donroe Doctrine risks bogging the U.S. down in a resource war that drains the treasury while domestic infrastructure crumbles. The Donroe Doctrine attempts to solve a problem that doesn’t exist (supply shortage) with a solution (military occupation) that creates a problem that does (instability). In the final analysis, the Donroe Doctrine is a strategic anachronism.

US lawmakers plan Denmark visit as Trump
WASHINGTON – A bipartisan group of US lawmakers will visit Denmark this week as President Donald Trump threatens a takeover of Greenland, an autonomous part of the kingdom of Denmark that houses a US airbase. Trump has repeatedly said Washington must own Greenland to prevent Russia or China from occupying the strategically located and minerals-rich Arctic territory. “One way or the other we are going to take Greenland,” Trump has said while adding he would prefer to make a deal with Denmark. Greenland and Denmark have said that Greenland is not for sale, but Trump has not ruled out taking it by force. Denmark and the US, both NATO members, are scheduled to meet this week to discuss the issue.

KP Governor Kundi questions talks with groups
PESHAWAR – Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi has said that negotiations cannot be held with those who do not accept Pakistan and the principles of the Constitution. Speaking at a press conference in Peshawar, Governor Kundi said that all stakeholders must work together to establish law and order in the province. However, he termed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister’s demand to go across the border to seek evidence as illogical and absurd, adding that PTI leadership has consistently followed a policy of negative statements and creating unrest. The governor said that the security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is deteriorating, with both security forces and civilians being targeted by terrorists. He concluded by saying that peace is the guarantor of development and that all efforts to rid the province of terrorism will continue.

Trump has options on Iran, but first must define goal
WASHINGTON : US President Donald Trump has options to intervene in protest-hit Iran that range from low to high risk, but choosing his course depends on him deciding his ultimate goal. Iran has been a sworn foe of the United States since the 1979 Islamic revolution toppled the pro-Western shah. The downfall of the Islamic republic in power since then would transform the Middle East. But Trump has previously lashed out against “regime change” as a goal, especially pointing to lessons from US involvement in Iraq, a smaller country. Pahlavi and a number of Republican hawks have voiced opposition to diplomacy, warning it would only give the Islamic republic a lifeline.

Transforming Pakistan’s Minerals into Strategic Economic Growth
In a world racing to secure critical minerals for technology, energy, and green growth, Pakistan could become a strategic hub. Transparency, policy reform, and international partnerships are required to turn raw potential into global economic impact. Besides the industrial minerals, Pakistan’s gemstones are estimated to be worth around $450 billion, which consist of emeralds, peridot, ruby, topaz, and aquamarine. “PMIF26 will serve as a key platform for promoting mining awareness, stimulating economic activity, and attracting sustainable investment into Pakistan’s mineral sector,” the minister stated. The unification of the community, policy, and technology is a prerequisite for transforming Pakistan’s mining industry from a purely extractive enterprise into a strategic engine of growth.
