Mungherilal ke Haseen Sapne: Munir–Shehbaz ka Nobel Drama

A sharp look at propaganda, power projection, and the widening gap between narrative and reality. The claim, the optics, and the reality on ground - from regional instability to Pakistan’s internal contradictions. Is this genuine diplomacy or a carefully crafted perception game



// the moment US El Presidente Barack Hussein Obama got a nobel peace prize, it has become a global joke - i.e. Nobel peace prize. Everyone is now vying for nobel peace prize. War and peace have been flipped on their heads. The hangers on for such prizes are unstable Puke land types. Trump and munir make an excellent pair.

A good overview of OPEC and oil prices/cartel etc., by Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan

UAE Quits OPEC: Can Gulf Unity Survive This Shock? • Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan

The United Arab Emirates’ reported move to step away from OPEC could mark a major turning point in Gulf geopolitics, oil pricing power, and regional alliances. Is this purely an economic decision, or does it signal deeper cracks within Gulf unity?

In this discussion, Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan examines:
• Why UAE may want greater production freedom
• Impact on Saudi Arabia and OPEC cohesion
• Can Qatar, Kuwait, Oman or others rethink alignments?
• What this means for global crude prices
• China, US and India stakes in Gulf energy flows
• Could this reshape Middle East power equations?
• Is this temporary leverage or long-term strategic divorce?

xposted from the terroristan thread

Some sources are reporting that the pakis have rented or seriously considering renting the following troops to other countries. the saudi deal has already been done for sure


15.000 paki troops to the saudis (+18 dented and repainted paki "fighter" aircraft)

10,000 paki troops to the qataris

5000 paki troops to the amrikis


their standard rate seems to be $1billion per 5000 troops

they are all supposed to man the frontlines and directly take on any aggressors if and when these countries are attacked and all these countries are under serious threat from the hamas, meaning the IRGC

the saudis and the qataris can not and will not fight because they consider themselves too rich to do such mundane chores when servants are easily available, besides they never had the stomach to fight.

the question is how many more troops can the pakis send on such wild goose "missions" without stripping active frontline troops arrayed against India

The amrikis need these troops for stabilisation of the post war situation in gaza, but the failed marshal is facing a crisis of his own making, caught between appeasing trump and managing an increasingly volatile and hostile domestic audience at home, and for munir, the decision carries political, religious and strategic risks, all of which expose how deeply paki military leadership is entangled in external machinations that they are not equipped to handle

among other things, the pakis are going to use these troops and other such "cooperative" outreach initiatives to use the "influence" of the recipient countries to bulldoze India into restoring the IWT and perhaps make a vain bid to reopen talks with the Modi govt, which, BTW, has no interest at all in talking to the pakis

these scoundrels are already in the UNSC whining and pushing their case, and the britshits have already come out openly against India and are pushing the GoI for the restoration of the IWT.

sergio gor, with that colgate grin pasted on his face, will soon start doing rounds of the MEA, if he hasn't already

trump has definitely tried, long and hard, to get the Modi govt to commit troops to be deployed under amriki command in gaza but the entire trump generated, amriki made fiasco in the gelf, is a fight in which India has no dog and Modi ji is too old a hand in global politics to get sucker punched by a double dealing amricano, whose only game now is to get his nuts out of the raging fire that he personally set

let's wait and see how the "hellhole" reacts to these overtures

the decision of the UAE to quit opec and opec ++ bodes ill for the GCC, and the regional energy order

If you are wondering what the Deep State game in the West Asia crisis, this is a good tutorial by Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan. Rajiv and Aadi have several YT's on the Deep State and its global structure.

Trump Cant Ignore India, Modi Plays a Deep Game, Oil OPEC & New Structure I Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan
Aadi Achint May 2, 2026

Crown Council etc are discussed. Rothschild has a base in Mumbai and may shift to Gift City. Chennai is nerve center for Llyods Insurance for ships. UAE has disentangled from OPEC. There is a faction of the Deep State that wants to invest 1-2 T into India and play the same game as they had in China. The EU France and Germany are making a beeline into India since they are afraid of China and its clout in crowding out goods in Europe. The Cheap labor component is driving many decisions. Russia is also looking to take advantage of labor from India, it has piles of Rupees due to its trade of oil with India. The GCC nations clearly understand they are nanga without US weapon shield, etc and rift with Iran is a permanent occurrence.

DJT is under the Deep State supervision, already a third attempt on his life was made. The vision of the deep state is clearly dictating each every US move. People keep thinking it is repubs vs dems but that is an illusion.

#BREAKING: Two terrorists traveling in a silver Toyota opened fire at four separate locations, wounding six men in Israel.

One victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Five others were evacuated to hospitals, including two in serious condition and three in moderate condition.

One of the terrorists was killed, while security forces are continuing a manhunt for the second suspect. The vehicle used in the attack has been located and seized.

Via ground.news:

Turkey successfully blocked an alleged Israeli plan to recruit Kurdish forces as a ground proxy against Iran, according to the government-affiliated newspaper Daily Sabah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Central Intelligence Agency originally conceived the operation as a joint venture to build up Kurdish paramilitary capabilities and incite an internal uprising against Tehran.

Ankara warned Kurdish leaders, including the Barzani and Talabani families, against cooperation and threatened action if the Kurdistan Workers Party participated; about 500 operatives reportedly left Iraq before the plan was halted.

President Donald Trump canceled the operation following direct opposition from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who feared that empowering Kurdish factions could threaten Turkey's national security.

Former Shin Bet informant Mosab Hassan Yousef alleged the broader strategy included installing former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a transitional leader, arguing that canceling the Kurdish component undermined the entire regime-change effort.

I don't know how true this is - American analysts believe that Iran has considered closing the Strait of Hormuz many times before but never did so because they feared the US would initiate a regime change. What has happened now is that since Iran has survived an attempted regime change, now they can happily exert control over the Strait of Hormuz.

What is the legality of this action by the US? What options are there for India? Tanker was not Indian flagged but registered in Palau. Neither is it owned or operated by an Indian firm but by Arihant Shipping based out of Panama. Most importantly, is this a fight we need to pick?

Finally in black and white: "iran has won usa has lost"

https://x.com/RShivshankar/status/20663 ... 09806?s=20

TRUMP WAS IN SUCH A HURRY TO EXTRICATE THE U.S. THAT HE'S PAID OFF IRAN FOR "PEACE"! NO WONDER NETANYAHU ISN'T ON BOARD.
A $300 bn "reconstruction" commitment pledged to Iran and an upfront $24 bn for agreeing to an MoU!!!
Here's a quick run through of how the Peace MoU is asymmetrically loaded in Iran's favour. Clearly, U.S. is desperate for the war to end.

I hope we did not miss an important point from Indian PoV. Pakis were kept out of the loop to get the new version of the deal done. And whatever limelight Pakis wanted to have by making the deal signing in Pakiland did not happen. It sounds like Uncle found out that Pakis cannot even run reliable postal service between the parties

“Faced with the reality of an impending fuel shock, where the United States would soon be forced to choose between prioritizing its own domestic energy security or supplying its allies, the American administration found itself cornered.

Tehran, fully aware of this crippling leverage, utilized the nerve-wracking reality of energy scarcity to play a masterful game of diplomatic brinkmanship, forcing a rapid de-escalation on its own terms.

desperation crept into Washington’s strategic calculus due to the looming crude shortage, the United States Navy began executing demons....

some reports indicate that Amm Iranians who opposed the harsh regime feel let down and dowright shocked by the deal made by US
They feel the Regime has won or st least that is what the Regime and the proxies will bleat.
Furthermore, the hardliners will sgtregthen their grip even further and burtally suppress any opposition.
Already, the usual suspects are projecting Iran as a victim and all sob stories pouring out from Sky, CNN, BBC etc.
I wonder if and when the Ayothulla will be exhibited to the public.
He may well keep under wraps for many weeks fearing attacks or atleast that will be the excuse!!
IRGC will rule now
£24 billion released and a further £300 billion for rebuilding
The Jihadis are already lickig their lips hoping for crumbs to fall onto their laps!!
No one know when IRGC will shut the Hormuz again!!

How Terroristan tries to leech off Iran’s new cash flow might be fun to observe.

https://fortune.com/2026/06/14/iran-cea ... en-assets/

Iran posted it's 14 point draft of what was "apparently" agreed by the US and if this version is correct or even closer to the truth, it will be quite a relinquishment of control by US.

Some serious concessions from US.

• Immediately after signing this MoU, the US will begin lifting its maritime blockade, and will bring shipping to full capacity within a maximum of 30 days. The US also commits to withdrawing its forces from the Persian Gulf region within 30 days of a final agreement.

• The US and its regional partners commit to creating a program for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran with at least $300 billion in funding. The mechanism for this program will be part of the final agreement.

• The US agrees all types of sanctions Iran faces, including United Nations Security Council resolutions and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all US unilateral primary and secondary sanctions, will be terminated within a mutually agreed timeline as part of the final agreement

• The US commits to issuing Treasury Department waivers for the export of Iran’s crude oil, petrochemical products and their derivatives, and all related services — including banking transactions, insurance and transportation — immediately after the signing of this MoU, and until the termination of sanctions.

• The US commits to releasing and making fully usable the restricted or frozen funds and assets of Iran, in accordance with the progress of negotiations toward the final agreement. These funds will be usable for payment to any final beneficiary designated by Iran’s central bank. The US commits to issuing all necessary approval and licenses for this.

• he final agreement will be confirmed by a binding UN Security Council resolution.

Everything is based on the premise that Iran will hand over all the nuclear dust, which will be downblended and destroyed either in Iran or in the US. If they don't do that, there is no deal.

In the meanwhile, as far as India is concerned...............

Trump secretly approved Qatar-Iran cash deal
Diplomatic officials confirm Washington secretly authorized Doha to transfer funds to Tehran in exchange for freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and immunity from attacks. The dual policy was intended to curb global energy prices, and served as the basis for the memorandum of understanding being forged with the leadership of the Revolutionary Guards. While oversight of the financial spigot was watered down and handed to the Qataris, talks in Washington stalled over a bitter dispute surrounding the issue of uranium enrichment.

The US secretly approved a financial and maritime arrangement between Qatar and Iran, under which billions of dollars were paid to Tehran in exchange for free passage for Qatari tankers and ships through the Strait of Hormuz, three diplomatic officials now confirm.

This was a deliberate and conscious course of action by the US administration, which allowed its navy to turn a blind eye to the arrangement, in complete contradiction of its declared policy. The move was intended to ease the crisis in global energy markets and curb rising oil prices.

Next Iran should demand that the US give it USN ships and F-18 Hornet fighters in lieu of the Irani naval vessels and airforce fighters destroyed by the US

I for one am too dumb to understand The Art Of The Deal.

We begin today with Bobby Ghosh at his “Ghoshworld” Substack saying what many other people are saying: Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be the biggest loser in the tentative U.S.-Iran agreement to extend the cease-fire.
“But the man who lost most is the one who wanted this war most: Benjamin Netanyahu.

First, a quick reality check: What Trump actually has is far narrower than a peace. The memorandum extends the spring ceasefire by 60 days, halts the shooting and reopens the strait; it is initialed, not yet signed, with “pre-implementation discussions” still pending and Iran openly skeptical of his timeline. The questions at the start of the war — how much uranium Iran may enrich, what becomes of the stockpile it already holds, the missiles, the militias — are to be taken up in talks that may run for years or collapse outright. None of it is settled; it is barely begun.

But it may already be enough to finish the Israeli prime minister.

As analysts like Danny Citrinowicz have noted, for 30 years the Netanyahu doctrine was based on the proposition that Iran was an existential threat, that only force could stop it, and that he alone could make Washington exert the necessary force. Every Israeli leader since Yitzhak Rabin feared the Iranian bomb. Netanyahu alone turned the fear into a brand. He carried a cartoon bomb to the rostrum of the United Nations. He lectured a joint session of Congress, over a sitting President’s objections, against the 2015 nuclear accord. He told Israeli voters, campaign after campaign, that he was the one man who could deliver an American President willing to finish the job. […]

And the calendar is closing in on the prime minister. The Knesset has voted to dissolve itself, with an election due by late October and the ultra-Orthodox pressing for September — the same partners now drifting from Netanyahu over their sons’ exemption from the draft. The brief lift the war gave Likud is gone; the latest polling leaves his bloc around 51 seats, a long way from the 61 a majority requires. And the deal has already become a cudgel in the hands of his opponents, and some of his allies: Yair Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman and voices inside his own camp are competing to brand it a gift to the Islamic Republic. The autumn vote will not turn on the deal’s clauses, but on the doctrine that produced them.”

Trump’s war accomplished nothing – the Iran deal is proof
Kenneth Roth, Thu 18 Jun 2026
No one gets a Nobel peace prize for ending a war he started, let alone for a pointless war of aggression that set back the causes that supposedly prompted the conflict. No amount of Donald Trump’s spin can obscure the fact that his newly announced deal with Iran is one big lesson in why this war should never have been launched.
The text of the deal, a 14-point memorandum of understanding, underscores its emptiness. The tyrants of Tehran are undoubtedly celebrating.
Trump’s political challenge is to show that his deal is better than the one negotiated by Barack Obama in 2015 and abandoned by Trump in 2018 – that Trump’s bombing produced a result superior to Obama’s diplomacy. The problem for Trump is that it didn’t. He did worse.
Even if Iran benefits from this deal with Washington, any peace is likely to be temporary
Trump will probably spotlight two supposed “victories”. First, Iran “reiterates that it will never produce nuclear weapons”. But it made that pledge in the Obama accord and many times since then. The key issue is whether the steps that could lead to a nuclear weapon are curtailed.
To that end, Obama imposed severe restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program. Trump can only hope to secure similar limitations during negotiations that are supposed to be concluded over the next 60 days. But such complex issues are unlikely to be settled so quickly, and the deal allows for the deadline to be extended by mutual consent.
Still to be resolved are whether and for how long Iran will limit what it calls its right to enrich uranium, whether it will export or dilute its half-tonne of highly enriched uranium, and whether it will dismantle its nuclear program. The deal says only that in a final accord such issues will be resolved by “mutual agreement”, hardly an airtight commitment. Trump will tie sanctions relief to Iranian concessions on these points, but that could have been accomplished through diplomacy, without resorting to war.
Second, Trump will highlight that Iran has agreed to reopen the strait of Hormuz, where its restrictions on movement of about 20% of the world’s oil and gas led to galloping prices and a surge in worldwide inflation. But Iran only closed the strait once Trump initiated his war of choice. Now Tehran sees the power of this new weapon. The genie is out of the bottle and will not easily be lured back.
Trump announced that the strait would be “permanently toll free”. But the published deal doesn’t say that. And Iranian officials have maintained the right to impose fees for unspecified services, which might mean no more than the “service” of not firing on boats passing through. Trump’s war has left global commerce worse off.
The deal is noteworthy for what it does not include. There is nothing on Iran’s ballistic missile program, nothing on Iran’s military support for regional allies such as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, nothing on regime change in Tehran. These were all reasons cited by Trump for going to war. In these areas, his bombing accomplished nothing.
Indeed, in lieu of regime change, he obtained regime hardening, as US and Israeli bombers killed off Iranian clerical leaders and left Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials in charge.
Meanwhile, the Iranian government can trumpet its own victories. The deal requires that Israel end its attacks in Lebanon.

Until the US has sufficient numbers of inexpensive drone interceptors and has them widely deployed in the Gulf States, Iran has quite a bit of deterrence.

JD Vance: "What we told the Iranians yesterday is that when you guys engage in what us millennials might call trash talk, you can't expect the president of the United States not to respond and not to correct the record." (Trump threatened to assassinate Iran's negotiators yesterday ... )

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar: "For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!"

My point of view: Hezbollah attacks on Israeli territory are terrorist attacks. Hezbollah attacks on Israeli occupiers of Lebanon start falling into legitimate resistance against invaders. Especially because of the climbing civilians killed and made into refugees.
