  71. <p>Taking to X on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei mocked Rama’s claims that Iran was waging a “hybrid war” of disinformation in the country, telling the Albanian leader to “calm down” and “face the music.”</p>
  72. <p>“It was YOU, sir, who started this. So you should face the music!&#8221; Baghaei wrote, urging the prime minister to listen to protesters chanting, “No to corruption,” “We want justice,” and “Rama leave.”</p>
  73. <p>&#8220;They are perceptive enough to distinguish truth from falsehood,&#8221; he said, referring to the Albanian nation. &#8220;If you choose to sell your national sovereignty, that is your decision.&#8221;</p>

  96. <p>In an audio message addressed to the Iranian nation released on Monday, Qalibaf said that Iran is ready to immediately resume its military operations to respond to US and Israeli violations of the ceasefire announced in early April.</p>
  97. <p>His comments came after Iran carried out missile attacks on the Israeli regime in response to its violations of the terms of the ceasefire, which also include the cessation of hostilities in Lebanon.</p>
  98. <p>The operation came despite ongoing efforts to mediate a deal between Iran and the US that could put a permanent end to the US-Israeli aggression on the country that began in late February.</p>

  120. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A draft resolution set to be tabled at the June 2026 meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency&#8217;s (IAEA) Board of Governors – a copy of which is in the possession of the Press TV website – is another calculated attempt to weaponize the UN nuclear watchdog against Iran and its peaceful nuclear program.</p>
  121. <p>The new resolution – like many other IAEA resolutions in the past – seeks to mount political pressure on Tehran over the unsubstantiated and long-discredited claim of &#8220;non-compliance&#8221; with ITS nuclear safeguards obligations.</p>
  122. <p>The proposed resolution, titled &#8220;Implementation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Safeguards Agreement and relevant provisions of UNSC resolutions in the Islamic Republic of Iran,&#8221; does nothing more than recycle the same old accusations.</p>
  123. <p>It alleges that Iran has failed to provide the IAEA with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple locations, ignoring the fact that three important Iranian nuclear sites were bombed by the United States and Israel.</p>

  146. <p>Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations in Vienna posted a statement on X on Tuesday, saying it was “ridiculous for the U.S., the aggressor, to submit a draft resolution to the Board of Governors on Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities.”</p>
  147. <p>The resolution demands that Iran provide information on its enriched uranium stockpile and give the UN nuclear agency access to its nuclear sites.</p>
  148. <p>The draft is expected to be submitted for a vote this week to the Board of Governors, which started meeting on Monday.</p>
  149. <p>To be passed, the draft resolution needs to be approved by the 35-member IAEA Board of Governors.</p>

  177. <p data-start="250" data-end="451">If approved, the change will directly affect the Suzuki Alto, which is the most popular car for first-time buyers in the country. The increase could raise the ex-factory prices of all its variants.</p>
  178. <p data-start="453" data-end="627">Under the proposal, the Alto VXR price would rise from Rs2.994 million to Rs3.054 million, making it more expensive for buyers already managing tight monthly budgets.</p>
  179. <p data-start="629" data-end="793">The Alto VXR AGS would increase from Rs3.166 million to Rs3.229 million, while the Alto VXL AGS would go up from Rs3.326 million to Rs3.392 million.</p>

  186. <p data-start="995" data-end="1134">Currently, the Climate Support Levy is set at 1% for petrol vehicles up to 1300cc, which includes the Suzuki Alto and other small cars.</p>

  360. <p data-start="241" data-end="435">According to the official notification, this cut applies to the January to March 2026 adjustment period. The relief will be given to consumers for three months, from June to August 2026.</p>
  361. <p data-start="241" data-end="435"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://humenglish341f88e60e.blob.core.windows.net/humenglish/uploads/2026/06/image-6a27bbf500f08-801x1024.png" width="605" height="773" /></p>
  362. <p data-start="437" data-end="649">NEPRA said the same reduction will also apply to K-Electric consumers, ensuring uniform relief across the country. Overall, electricity users are expected to get a total benefit of around Rs67.17 billion.</p>
  363. <p data-start="651" data-end="916">The regulator explained that the change is part of its routine quarterly process, which adjusts electricity prices based on fuel costs and power purchase expenses. This latest reduction reflects changes in generation costs and aims to pass on benefits to consumers.</p>
  364. <p data-start="918" data-end="1173">In a related development, Prime Minister <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Shehbaz Sharif</span></span> has directed authorities to speed up the privatisation of electricity distribution companies (DISCOs). He stressed that the process should be transparent and completed on time.</p>
  365. <p data-start="1175" data-end="1419">During a review meeting, the prime minister said privatising loss-making state-owned companies remains a key government priority. He also called for a strong regulatory system after privatisation to ensure better oversight and improved service.</p>
  366. <p data-start="1421" data-end="1691">Officials informed the meeting that the first phase of privatisation will include IESCO, GEPCO, and FESCO. They said expressions of interest have already been published in newspapers locally and internationally, and the privatisation committee has approved the plan.</p>
  367. <p data-start="1693" data-end="1859" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">They added that investor roadshows will begin this month, with sessions planned in countries including Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and China to attract foreign investment.</p>

  510. <p>Sidra Niazi voiced her outrage over the brutal acid attack on Dr. Mahnoor who was seriously injured in an acid attack during her duty at a hospital on her Instagram. She highlighted that a lot of users on social media turned out their focus towards victim instead of attackers, and some are judging the doctor’s appearance, choices, and character rather than speaking out against the crime itself</p>
  511. <p>The actress shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram story, “Dr Mahnoor has left us shaken once again. Every time a woman is attacked, harassed or subjected to such horrific violence, I find myself questioning where we are failing as a society. How are we raising our children, especially our boys, that some grow up believing they have the right to punish, control or destroy a woman&#8217;s life?”</p>

  514. <p>The actress point out the reactions resulting such incidents are often disturbing remarking that victim-directed comments are often as upsetting as the crimes.</p>
  515. <p>“What disturbs me almost as much as the crime itself is the reaction that follows. The cruelty in some of the comments is beyond comprehension. Instead of outrage for the victim, people rush to interrogate her character, her choices, her clothes, her presence and her actions, as if they are searching for a reason to make the violence understandable.”</p>
  516. <p>Sidra added that such insolences as ethically shocking and extremely deficient in empathy.</p>
  517. <p>“That mindset is not just insensitive, it is morally bankrupt. It reflects a terrifying absence of empathy and a willingness to excuse brutality as long as blame can be shifted onto a woman.”</p>
  518. <p>The actress further Questioning society&#8217;s inclination to quest for fault in victims rather than wrongdoers.</p>
  519. <p>“The fact that someone can look at a victim of such a horrific act and ask, ‘What did she do?’ instead of ‘How could anyone do this to her?’ is deeply disturbing.”</p>
  520. <p>She finished her message in stressed that no personal dispute, disagreement or rejection can ever justify violence.</p>
  521. <p>“No rejection, disagreement or personal grievance can ever justify violence. Until we stop normalizing victim-blaming and start confronting the attitudes that enable it, we will continue to fail the very people who need protection the most.”</p>

  640. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="0" data-end="234">US President <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Donald Trump</span></span> has said that negotiations aimed at containing the Iran-Israel conflict are in their “final throes,” as both sides show signs of pausing direct attacks after days of intense fighting.</p>
  641. <p data-start="236" data-end="593">Speaking at a televised rally for Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, Trump said Washington expects what he called a “total victory” in the coming weeks. He also claimed that oil prices would fall once stability returns, adding, “We’ve been a very tough team, and I think we are winning that battle,” and said the outcome could become clear within two weeks.</p>
  642. <p data-start="595" data-end="811">His remarks came after Iran and Israel signaled a temporary halt in their exchanges of attacks, easing tensions after one of the most serious escalations between the two countries since a ceasefire earlier this year.</p>
  643. <p data-start="813" data-end="1091">However, Iranian officials warned that the pause could collapse if Israel continues military actions in Lebanon or against Iran-linked groups in the region. Tehran said it had suspended its attacks on Israel but warned of a “crushing response” if further aggression takes place.</p>
  644. <p data-start="1093" data-end="1377">Despite the temporary pause, violence continued in other parts of the region. Israeli military operations intensified in southern Lebanon, with drone strikes reported on Nabatieh and air raids hitting nearby towns in the Tyre district, including Kfarsir, Al-Abbasiya, and Al-Ramadiya.</p>
  645. <p data-start="1379" data-end="1696">Tensions also remained high in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces carried out overnight raids in Jenin and nearby areas. Local reports said a father and son were arrested, while additional detentions and property damage were reported in Hebron and Nablus, including settlers burning a vehicle in Beit Amrin.</p>
  646. <p data-start="1698" data-end="1866" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Trump’s comments added to the uncertainty, as he suggested the situation was close to resolution while also warning that pressure on Iran-linked threats would continue.</p>

  792. <p>Speaking to Israeli media, Trump said that he had recently spoken to Netanyahu by phone and advised him to avoid immediate military action in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attacks.</p>
  793. <p>According to the US president, Israel informed Washington about the strikes at the final stage, after the missiles had been fired at Iran.</p>
  794. <p>Trump claimed that his advisers first expected Israel to delay its retaliation to give Iran-US negotiations more time but the Israeli leadership later carried out the strikes.</p>
  795. <p>Reports claim Netanyahu briefed US Secretary of State Marco Rubio following consultations with security officials.</p>
  796. <p>The US president added that he also made efforts to limit the scope and intensity of the Israeli attacks. According to him, five countries in the region that are involved in the mediation process between the US and Iran had also requested Washington to prevent Israel from further military action in order to pave the way for a diplomatic solution.</p>
  797. <p>Trump said that Iranian officials had also sent a message through the US that they did not want to carry out further attacks and had also requested Israel to stop the operations. After that, he contacted Netanyahu again and urged to reduce tensions.</p>
  798. <p>The US president once again expressed hope that an agreement between Iran and the US is still possible and that Tehran is interested in signing the agreement.</p>
  799. <p>Trump’s statements are being considered important in the context of the ongoing tension in the Middle East, the Iran-Israel conflict and US diplomatic efforts.</p>

  870. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="94" data-end="339">The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has advised citizens to make sure that biometric verification access is enabled in the PakID mobile app before visiting any office or service point where identity verification is required.</p>
  871. <p data-start="341" data-end="545">According to authorities, users should check their app settings before going to places such as banks, passport offices, SIM franchise centers, and other institutions that rely on biometric authentication.</p>
  872. <p data-start="547" data-end="796">NADRA warned that if biometric access is not activated in advance, citizens may face delays, inconvenience, or difficulties during the verification process. People are being encouraged to confirm their settings at home to avoid unnecessary problems.</p>
  873. <p data-start="798" data-end="925">Earlier this year, NADRA introduced a new feature in the PakID app that allows users to control access to their biometric data.</p>
  874. <p data-start="927" data-end="1175">The “Block Biometric Data Access” feature ensures that fingerprints or facial recognition cannot be used without the user’s permission. Officials said the purpose of this feature is to protect sensitive personal data and give full control to users.</p>
  875. <p data-start="1177" data-end="1387">To activate the feature, users need to log into the PakID app, go to “Profile Settings,” and select “Block Biometric Data Access.” In some cases, fingerprint or facial verification may be required to enable it.</p>
  876. <p data-start="1389" data-end="1528" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Users can also temporarily disable the feature when biometric verification is needed and then turn it back on afterward for added security.</p>

  898. <p data-start="225" data-end="415">In a statement, the Foreign Office advised those individuals to avoid interfering in the internal affairs of Pakistan and AJK and instead contribute positively to their country of residence.</p>
  899. <p data-start="417" data-end="662">The response came after comments from British Members of Parliament (MPs) about a recent crackdown on protesters in AJK. The unrest has resulted in the deaths of at least seven civilians and four law enforcement personnel over the past two days.</p>
  900. <p data-start="664" data-end="812">The statement followed violent clashes in Rawalakot between police and supporters of the banned Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC).</p>
  901. <p data-start="814" data-end="1001">The Foreign Office said that concerns raised by some British MPs regarding communication restrictions and arrests showed a lack of understanding of the region’s history and circumstances.</p>
  902. <p data-start="1003" data-end="1143">The spokesperson added that Pakistan is a sovereign and democratic country that believes in non-interference in the affairs of other states.</p>
  903. <p data-start="1145" data-end="1338">While reaffirming support for the constitutional rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, the government said some recent protests turned violent and involved criminal activities.</p>
  904. <p data-start="1340" data-end="1616">According to the statement, violent elements damaged public property, disrupted services, and threatened public safety. The government also highlighted the siege of the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Rawalakot, describing it as an unacceptable act that put lives at risk.</p>
  905. <p data-start="1618" data-end="1830">The Foreign Office also urged the British government to monitor individuals in the UK who allegedly support banned organisations in Pakistan and encourage them to respect democratic processes and the rule of law.</p>
  906. <p data-start="1832" data-end="2002">Meanwhile, security remains tight in Rawalakot, where local authorities have suspended mobile data services to prevent further unrest ahead of a planned strike on June 9.</p>
  907. <p data-start="2004" data-end="2176">According to reports, at least 11 people, including four security personnel, have been killed in clashes between police and supporters of the JKJAAC over the last 36 hours.</p>
  908. <p data-start="2178" data-end="2315" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">AJK Police Chief said on Monday that a late-night operation successfully cleared protesters from around a military hospital in Rawalakot.</p>

  994. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Philosophers argue that tolerance is not a moral absolute, but rather a practical social norm—a &#8220;peace treaty&#8221; that allows deeply divided people to coexist without constant conflict.</em></p>
  995. <p>The recent acid attack on a female doctor in Quetta known as &#8220;The Fruit Garden of Pakistan&#8221; and the city emerging with a healthy literacy rate in recent years, this attack was not merely an attack on a female doctor but on the face of humanity, religious clerics, human dignity and the very idea of a &#8220;Civilized Pakistan&#8221;. When any women in the World from Latin America to Quetta face such barbarism, its not an attack on the face only but deep down on the soul which leaves a scar not only on the women but on the family, a trauma for years, fear, restless nights and overall on our daughters, sisters and mothers that how long they have to bear the fate of being a &#8220;Female Slave&#8221;.</p>
  996. <p>These incidents now must rise a loud question among the academic circle, policy makers and on all segments of the society. How long the Feudalistic approach, Tribal Jirgas or any individual still choose extremism over dialogue? Why in recent past women after death faced &#8220;Rape&#8221;? and can a society stuck between the arms of nostalgic success, tradition and norms evolve to peace, harmony and progress.</p>
  997. <p>Pakistan as a country with larger population of youth has emerged in education, technology, merit based opportunities and overall increase in philosophical thought with higher literacy but still a a larger segment lives with the less broader mind set on humanistic approach to forgive the daily live matters, personal issues, grievances and difference of opinion. This difference ultimately gives birth to such incidents where still parental control is high in decision making, elder siblings not accepting your wit and to the larger segments of not accepting ground realities.</p>
  998. <p>A country where co-education exist with pride and shame at the same time, a smaller portion of females are given opportunities and freedom to travel and work but in the later part things changes for them drastically because of the deep rooted pathetic system of unleashing outdated norms which has already been removed from other &#8220;emerging countries&#8221; already.</p>
  999. <p>A society where the dispute is minor or major, emotional or personal, there are still people who consider themselves judge, jury, and executioner. Instead of seeking justice through legal institutions, they seek satisfaction through destruction. This mentality is not strength; it is a failure of moral and intellectual development, it is very common and still disgraceful for us humans to hear remarks on female dressing in the market, judge a female on a bike and this goes on still among a larger proportion of society in Pakistan.</p>
  1000. <p>We live in a society where a man can proudly hold a bottle of whiskey but a female still has to take care of the male societal ego and hatred, we can easily find men clothing shops but a female shop has to be hidden under a thick carpet making it &#8220;Seen Invisibles&#8221; but it exist as a truth which cannot be removed until human existence.</p>
  1001. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-352088" src="https://gtvnewshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Shama-Extension-Agriculture-Officer-delivering-her-views-300x185-1.jpg" alt="" width="607" height="374" /></p>
  1002. <p>At the same time, John Locke emphasized that governments exist to protect life, liberty, and property. When society witnesses violence against women, professionals, or minorities, public confidence in justice weakens. Citizens begin to wonder whether education and hard work can truly protect them. Therefore, swift legal action is not only punishment for a criminal but reassurance for society that justice still matters.</p>
  1003. <p>Pakistan&#8217;s challenge is therefore not only legal but cultural. Schools must teach empathy alongside mathematics. Families must teach patience alongside ambition. Religious leaders, educators, and media personalities must emphasize that dignity is preserved through self-control, not violence. The strongest person is not the one who can inflict harm but the one who can control anger when provoked.</p>
  1004. <p>The attack on the female doctor in Quetta should therefore serve as a national moment of reflection. It reminds us that professional success, especially among women, must be protected rather than threatened. It reminds us that justice belongs in courtrooms, not in the hands of angry individuals, Tribal Jirgas and Feudal Lords hidden under any cover. Most importantly, it reminds us that extremism is not defeated solely through policing; it is defeated when society collectively rejects the belief that violence is an acceptable response to pain, rejection, or disagreement.</p>
  1005. <p>Today we have to start teaching our males from birth, If we accept the term &#8220;Male Feminism&#8221; in broader perspective a lot issues can be resolved in very less time. Women will retaliate, argue, fight, show power which is the due process of decades burdened upon them by society and individuals as a whole. Lets join hand in accepting and promote dialogue with Women to bring upon a mutual agreement which is the need of human society in Pakistan now.</p>
  1006. <p>As Abdul Ul Hameed Adm expressed,</p>
  1007. <p><em><strong data-start="208" data-end="260">The Creator shaped the vast universe into being,</strong></em><br data-start="260" data-end="263" /><em><strong data-start="265" data-end="330">But its grace, elegance, and splendor were embodied in women</strong></em></p>
  1008. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  1009. <h6><em><strong>Note: This is a dedication and an effort to promote peace and dialogue among all segments of society, with urge to have a new social agreement among men and women.</strong></em></h6>

  1065. <p data-start="139" data-end="254">In a short message posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump said both countries “must immediately stop shooting.”</p>
  1066. <p data-start="256" data-end="446">According to media reports, Iran fired nearly 30 missiles toward Israel overnight. This marked the first direct exchange of fire between the two sides since a ceasefire was reached in April.</p>
  1067. <p data-start="448" data-end="627">An Israeli military official said that “the Iranian regime began firing ballistic missiles towards Israel” during the night, adding that around 30 missiles were launched in total.</p>
  1068. <p data-start="629" data-end="714">He also added that Yemen’s Houthi rebels separately fired two missiles toward Israel.</p>
  1069. <p data-start="716" data-end="860" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">The situation has raised fresh concerns over rising tensions in the region, as both sides continue to exchange accusations and military actions.</p>
  1070. <p>Earlier on Sunday, United State President Donald Trump advise Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu avoid to launch any counterstrikes following Iran’s missile attack on Israeli sites. As reported by Axios the attack came as retaliation for previous Israeli strikes on the outskirts of Beirut.</p>
  1071. <p>Reports further state that, according to Iran, no peace agreement with the US is possible without a ceasefire in Lebanon. Since March Israel has been involved in ongoing fighting with Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon</p>
  1072. <p>Israel launched airstrikes in the Beirut area earlier on Sunday, marking its first such action since a U.S.-supported truce proposal for Lebanon.</p>
  1073. <p>According to the Israeli military, Iranian missiles were detected and intercepted by air defense systems, with damage still unconfirmed.</p>
  1074. <p>A U.S. official told Reuters that Trump, who spent the weekend at his New Jersey golf club had been updated on growing tensions between Iran and Israel, and the White House did not respond immediately</p>
  1075. <p>Trump said the condition would not help peace talks and commended Iran to return to negotiations. He also said he was not happy about the Israeli strike on Beirut, speaking to Fox News.</p>
  1076. <p>He plans to speak with Netanyahu and urge him not to respond militarily, told Axios.</p>
  1077. <p>In the meantime, Iran’s chief negotiator said that U.S. bases and Israeli assets might be regarded as legitimate targets over alleged Lebanon agreement violations.</p>
  1078. <p>An Israeli official responded by saying Israel would retaliate against any Iranian attacks and would treat them as an opportunity to continue its military campaign.</p>
  1079. <p>Even as tensions continue, Washington and Tehran have made little progress toward a peace deal, with Trump warned that the United States could restart strikes if no agreement is reached in time.</p>

  1140. <p>The IRGC emphasized that the speed of response to Israeli military aggression and the breadth of its target bank are core features of operations at this stage of the war.</p>

  1162. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="62" data-end="272">Yemen’s Houthi movement has announced a “complete and total ban” on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea. The group said that any ship linked to Israel will now be treated as a legitimate military target.</p>
  1163. <p data-start="274" data-end="437">According to Arab News, the move marks a serious escalation in tensions in the region and could further disrupt one of the world’s most important sea trade routes.</p>
  1164. <p data-start="439" data-end="762">The group’s military wing said the ban applies to all vessels flying the Israeli flag, operated by Israeli companies, or owned by Israeli citizens. The Houthis also warned international shipping companies to avoid cooperation with Israel and stay away from the designated area to ensure the safety of their ships and crews.</p>
  1165. <h2 data-section-id="b0e4s0" data-start="764" data-end="797">Key Global Trade Route at Risk</h2>
  1166. <p data-start="799" data-end="964">The Red Sea and the nearby Bab al-Mandab Strait are very important for global trade, handling around 12% of world maritime shipping, including oil and gas shipments.</p>
  1167. <p data-start="966" data-end="1193">Experts say that if the ban continues, shipping companies may be forced to avoid the Suez Canal and take a much longer route around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. This would increase travel time and raise shipping costs worldwide.</p>
  1168. <p data-start="1195" data-end="1344">Maritime security agencies have already advised ships in the region to remain alert and follow strict safety measures while passing through the area.</p>
  1169. <h2 data-section-id="d8op18" data-start="1346" data-end="1378">Rising Tensions in the Region</h2>
  1170. <p data-start="1380" data-end="1514">The announcement has drawn strong reactions from several international powers, which have called it a threat to freedom of navigation.</p>
  1171. <p data-start="1516" data-end="1681">At the same time, diplomatic efforts are reportedly underway to reduce tensions, although Houthi leaders continue to link the decision to ongoing regional conflicts.</p>
  1172. <p data-start="1683" data-end="1854" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">With insurance costs for ships in the Red Sea rising, experts warn that any further escalation could lead to a wider crisis, affecting global trade and regional stability.</p>

  1437. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Monday <a href="https://gtvnewshd.com/business/2026/06/02/oil-prices-dip-after-trump-confirms-ongoing-iran-talks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oil prices</a> suddenly increased, claimed more than $3 per barrel as fresh tensions in the Middle East worried markets and raised concerns about global supply.</p>
  1438. <p>Brent crude climbed $3.20 (3.39%) to $96.24 per barrel, while US crude increased $2.87 (3.17%) to $93.41 per barrel as of 0333 GMT. The rise followed Israel’s latest strikes in Lebanon, and explosions were reportedly heard in cities across Iran, including Tehran, Tabriz, and Isfahan.</p>
  1439. <p>The markets turned cautious, with expectations weakening for an early easing of tensions or secure oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.</p>
  1440. <p>The rise wiped out Friday’s decline, as prices fell earlier on hopes of easing tensions between the US and Iran. The recent escalation quickly changed the direction. Prices have climbed over 50% since March due to continued conflict concerns.</p>
  1441. <p>Donald Trump, the US President, stated a peace promise is still possible and diminished the impact of recent violence on negotiations. He also reportedly advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against conducting any more attacks. Speaking to reporters, Trump said he thinks the United States is in charge of the decision-making process in this situation.</p>
  1442. <p>According to reports, Iran has made clear that any ceasefire in Lebanon is part of wider talks with the US. In the meantime, since March, fighting has gone on after Israel entered Lebanon in response to Hezbollah’s attacks across the border.</p>
  1443. <p>Despite several peace efforts and ceasefire claims, violence and tensions are still ongoing. As per analyst reports, the fight and impassable supply ways continue to evaluate severely on global oil prices.</p>

  1702. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry on Sunday levelled serious accusations against the proscribed Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), claiming the banned group was actively working to destabilise the region even after the government had largely fulfilled its end of a negotiated agreement.</p>
  1703. <p>Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad alongside Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) political leaders, the minister noted that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had formed a high-level committee to engage in talks with the JAAC, and that a separate monitoring committee was established to oversee the implementation of all mutually agreed points. He confirmed that the government had honoured every clause of the deal.</p>
  1704. <p>Nevertheless, the banned group renewed its call for protests, drawing sharp criticism from Chaudhry. His remarks came two days after the AJK government formally declared JAAC a proscribed organisation under anti-terrorism laws, in anticipation of the group&#8217;s planned protest on June 9. The organisation had previously led large-scale demonstrations over economic hardships and political rights, some of which turned violent and resulted in deaths during confrontations with security forces in May 2024 and September 2025.</p>
  1705. <p>The minister outlined the government&#8217;s relief measures for the region, confirming that electricity was being supplied at Rs3 per unit and that subsidies on flour and other basic commodities were being extended. He also stated that commitments made to the families of those martyred and injured in previous protests had been fulfilled, and that 170 cases filed against demonstrators had been withdrawn.</p>
  1706. <p>Raising concerns over the upcoming elections, Chaudhry alleged that &#8220;efforts were being made to sabotage free and fair elections&#8221; in AJK. On the contentious matter of the 12 refugee seats in the AJK Legislative Assembly — reserved for refugees from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) who migrated to Pakistan after 1947 — the minister noted that courts had clearly ruled these constitutional seats &#8220;could not be abolished without legislation.&#8221;</p>
  1707. <p>He acknowledged that groundwork had begun on infrastructure commitments, while cautioning that large-scale projects such as tunnel construction require considerable time. He urged the JAAC to abandon its protest-driven approach, warning that &#8220;frequent protests were not an appropriate approach for medium- and long-term development plans.&#8221;</p>
  1708. <div class="sub-heading">Bilawal to Meet PM Shehbaz on AJK Situation</div>
  1709. <p>In a related development, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari announced he would hold a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to discuss the deteriorating situation in AJK. The announcement was made during a PPP AJK parliamentary party meeting chaired by Bilawal, where he expressed deep concern over conditions in the region.</p>
  1710. <p>The PPP chief reaffirmed his party&#8217;s longstanding commitment to resolving AJK&#8217;s challenges through political dialogue, stating, &#8220;PPP was founded on the Kashmir issue.&#8221; He stressed that political matters must be addressed through discussion and within the framework of the legislative assembly. The meeting was also attended by PPP AJK political affairs in-charge Faryal Talpur, with party lawmakers presenting their recommendations during the session.</p>

  1735. <p>Azad Kashmir Police have sealed the central office of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) as part of a continuing crackdown targeting elements allegedly engaged in anti-state activities across the region.</p>
  1736. <p>According to officials, the operation was conducted jointly by the administration and law enforcement following credible reports of disruptive activities linked to the organisation. The action was carried out despite the presence of individuals outside the premises, though authorities confirmed that no protest was reported at the scene.</p>
  1737. <p>During the raid and search operation, security personnel reportedly recovered a machine gun, a rifle, and a pistol from inside the office — a development that officials and experts say points to more than ordinary civic activism.</p>
  1738. <p>Officials stated that the recovery of weapons &#8220;under the guise of rights activism indicates an intent to spread unrest&#8221; in the region. Authorities emphasised that such targeted operations are essential to maintaining law and order and safeguarding public safety.</p>
  1739. <p>Experts echoed this position, asserting that &#8220;such actions are necessary to maintain law and order and ensure public safety across the region.&#8221;</p>
  1740. <p>The sealing of the JAAC headquarters marks a significant escalation in the government&#8217;s response to the banned group, which had previously organised large-scale protests over economic and political grievances in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.</p>

  1814. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pakistan&#8217;s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has personally conveyed a special message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, during his ongoing diplomatic visit to Tehran.</p>
  1815. <p>The message was formally handed over in the course of a meeting between Minister Naqvi and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, held in the Iranian capital on Sunday. The two senior officials used the occasion to review the current state of bilateral relations between Tehran and Islamabad, covering issues of shared concern and mutual strategic interest.</p>
  1816. <p>Discussions also extended to the broader regional landscape, with both sides exchanging perspectives on the latest developments surrounding ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at bringing an end to what Tehran describes as the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran — an area in which Pakistan has emerged as an active mediator.</p>
  1817. <p>The Sunday meeting followed a separate engagement on Saturday, when Naqvi met his Iranian counterpart, Interior Minister Eskandar Mo&#8217;meni. Following those talks, Mo&#8217;meni indicated that part of Naqvi&#8217;s visit was dedicated to bilateral matters, noting that the discussions covered border security cooperation, joint efforts to combat drug trafficking, and coordinated measures against terrorism. Mo&#8217;meni further noted that the two sides &#8220;also reached important understandings in the economic field.&#8221;</p>
  1818. <p>Minister Naqvi arrived in Tehran on Saturday specifically to hold talks with senior Iranian officials, with his visit widely seen as an extension of Islamabad&#8217;s active mediation efforts between Iran and the United States at a delicate moment in regional diplomacy.</p>

  1839. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has issued a formal heatwave alert for Punjab, warning of a significant and dangerous rise in temperatures across the province over the coming days.</p>
  1840. <p>According to the advisory, maximum temperatures are projected to remain 5–7°C above seasonal norms between June 8 and 10, with readings forecast to touch 41–44°C in Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, and Gujrat. The heat is expected to be even more intense across central and southern Punjab, where temperatures could climb between 44°C and 48°C from June 8 to 11. Districts falling within this extreme heat zone include Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Sargodha, Okara, Kasur, Sahiwal, Khanewal, Pakpattan, Rajanpur, Bahawalnagar, Bhakkar, Layyah, Kot Addu, Mianwali, Noor Pur Thal, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh, Khushab, and Joharabad.</p>
  1841. <p>The PDMA has further cautioned that overnight temperatures are expected to remain abnormally elevated throughout the forecast period. There is also a risk of isolated dust storms developing in parts of southern Punjab as a result of the intense heat buildup.</p>
  1842. <p>In response, all district administrations and relevant government departments have been directed to activate preventive and emergency response measures without delay. District Disaster Management Authorities and local bodies have been instructed to roll out public awareness campaigns covering heatwave risks and safety precautions, while education authorities are required to take appropriate steps to protect schoolchildren from the extreme conditions.</p>
  1843. <p>Health departments and district administrations have been tasked with mapping vulnerable localities and establishing dedicated heatstroke treatment centres, fully equipped with trained medical staff, essential medicines, basic treatment infrastructure, and adequate drinking water supplies.</p>
  1844. <p>Local authorities are additionally required to put in place clear emergency response protocols for heatwave-related incidents. Emergency supplies — including first aid kits, ORS and electrolyte solutions, cooling equipment, and water dispensers — are to be pre-positioned strategically across both urban and rural zones. Communication systems are to be strengthened to ensure timely delivery of weather alerts, safety guidance, and information about the locations of cooling centres, shelters, and medical support points.</p>
  1845. <p>Cooling centres are to be set up in coordination with stakeholders, with priority given to densely populated and high-risk localities, particularly for residents without access to air conditioning or cooling facilities. Emergency response teams — including Rescue 1122, fire services, the Forest Department, and local administrations — have been placed on full alert to address potential forest and urban fire incidents and to implement all necessary preventive actions during the heatwave period.</p>

  1895. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Azad Jammu and Kashmir&#8217;s capital, Muzaffarabad, has been placed under Section 144, with the Deputy Commissioner formally issuing a notification prohibiting the assembly of four or more individuals at any single location, as the region braces under mounting civil unrest.</p>
  1896. <p>Alongside the imposition of the security order, internet services have been suspended throughout AJK, though mobile phone connectivity remains active. The burial of Shahzaib, a member of the outlawed Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC), was carried out after he was fatally shot in a firing incident in Rawalakot.</p>
  1897. <p>The JKJAAC has directly accused law enforcement agencies of carrying out the shooting. However, the official response from authorities differed sharply — Commissioner Rawalakot Sardar Waheed stated that police did not fire at the vehicle and were not present at the scene before the incident took place.</p>
  1898. <p>Tensions in Rawalakot remain elevated, with Rangers personnel stationed at sensitive locations across the city. In response to Shahzaib&#8217;s killing, a JKJAAC member confirmed that traders and transporters have launched a widespread strike in Muzaffarabad and other parts of Kashmir in protest.</p>
  1899. <p>A government official confirmed that Rangers and Frontier Corps personnel have been deployed at critical and sensitive sites in Muzaffarabad and surrounding areas. Among the installations under guard are the Supreme Court building, the Legislative Assembly, the Presidential House, and the Prime Minister&#8217;s House — underscoring the gravity of the security situation on the ground.</p>

  1920. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) conducted a sweeping crackdown against food adulteration and illegal food businesses across Lahore, seizing and disposing of 18,000 kilograms of animal fat and offal, 600 litres of prepared oil, and 3,000 kilograms of dead chickens during enforcement operations carried out at multiple locations in the provincial capital.</p>
  1921. <p>The drives were executed across Sundar Estate, Shahdara, Tollinton Market, and Mondiali Stop under the direct orders of PFA Director General Syed Musa Raza. During the course of the operations, one formal case was registered and three suspects were taken into custody on the spot for breaching food safety regulations.</p>
  1922. <p>A PFA spokesperson confirmed that a water plant and a food production facility were sealed for committing serious violations, while fines totalling Rs 352,000 were levied on 19 food businesses found operating outside permitted standards.</p>
  1923. <p>DG Syed Musa Raza stated that inspecting teams discovered that the mandatory chemical Methanol Dye and other required documentation were absent from oil units producing edible oil from animal fat. He noted that these businesses were functioning in clear defiance of regulatory requirements, creating significant risks to public health.</p>
  1924. <p>The DG further disclosed that on-site inspections uncovered the absence of valid medical certificates for workers, substandard hygiene conditions, and improper storage practices. In a particularly alarming finding, milk and meat products were found stored together in rusted freezers — a direct violation of food safety protocols.</p>
  1925. <p>Addressing the media, DG Musa Raza reaffirmed the authority&#8217;s resolve, stating that the PFA was actively pursuing those engaged in the manufacture and supply of substandard and hazardous edible oil and would maintain rigorous monitoring to guarantee the availability of safe, quality food to the public.</p>
  1926. <p>He made clear that there would be no leniency for the food fraud mafia, declaring that &#8220;no concession would be given to the food fraud mafia&#8221; and that strict legal action would be sustained against all those putting public health at risk through adulteration and food safety violations.</p>

  1984. <p>The Azad Jammu and Kashmir Supreme Court on Sunday delivered a landmark opinion in favour of the government, affirming that the 12 refugee seats in the AJK Legislative Assembly are constitutionally protected and cannot be removed or modified through any administrative or extra-constitutional action.</p>
  1985. <p>The presidential reference at the heart of the case was filed by the President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir under Article 46-A of the Interim Constitution of 1974, on the government&#8217;s advice, seeking the apex court&#8217;s legal opinion on constitutional questions related to the refugee seat issue and other connected matters.</p>
  1986. <p>In its formal opinion, the Supreme Court held that the 12 refugee seats are anchored in Article 22 of the Constitution and trace their legal roots to legislative arrangements established in 1960, 1964, and 1970. The court further noted their connection to the interim constitutional framework, the 1974 Constitution, and the 1975 Act.</p>
  1987. <p>&#8220;Accordingly, we are of the considered opinion that the twelve refugee seats incorporated in Article 22(1)(a)(ii) and (ii) of the Constitution can be altered, reduced, or abolished only through a constitutional amendment enacted strictly in accordance with Article 33,&#8221; the court&#8217;s statement read — a copy of which is available with Geo News.</p>
  1988. <p>The court issued a firm warning against attempts to force constitutional change through pressure tactics, stating: &#8220;Any demand seeking abolition of any constitutional provision through coercion, brute force, threats of mass public obstruction, or other extra-constitutional means is devoid of constitutional sanction, legally unenforceable, and wholly incompatible with the principles of constitutional supremacy and the rule of law embodied in Articles 33 and 57 of the Constitution.&#8221;</p>
  1989. <p>The court also endorsed the government&#8217;s approach of deferring the remaining constitutional questions to the elected Legislative Assembly, reiterating that constitutional amendments can only proceed through public mandate, parliamentary deliberation, and the prescribed legal procedure.</p>
  1990. <p>Interpreting Articles 22(3) and 22(4), the court clarified the powers and term of the Legislative Assembly and stressed that elections must be held within the constitutional timeframe, adding that political disputes or protest movements cannot serve as grounds to postpone the electoral process.</p>
  1991. <p>The court underscored that the state bears full constitutional responsibility for conducting elections and maintaining law and order, and is bound to safeguard the continuity of democratic and constitutional governance. It further noted that the decisive force in Azad Kashmir is not street agitation but the supremacy of the Constitution, while acknowledging that peaceful protest remains a constitutional right — though actions that disrupt normal life do not enjoy constitutional cover.</p>
  1992. <p>The opinion was issued amid an ongoing protest campaign demanding the abolition of the 12 seats reserved for refugees from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) who migrated to Pakistan after 1947. Earlier this week, an All Parties Conference (APC) convened at the Prime Minister&#8217;s Secretariat in Muzaffarabad firmly rejected these demands, reaffirming that constitutional reforms fall exclusively within the mandate of elected representatives. The AJK Legislative Assembly had also passed a resolution just a day earlier retaining the 12 refugee seats, with the resolution emphasising that refugee representation is a historical and constitutional reality, and that any necessary reforms could be introduced through the assembly itself.</p>

  2019. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Karachi is set to endure hot and humid conditions as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issued its latest forecast on Sunday, warning of intense heat continuing across the country with temperatures surpassing 40 degrees Celsius in multiple districts.</p>
  2020. <p>The Met Office projected maximum temperatures in Karachi to range between 35°C and 37°C, while the minimum is expected to stay around 30°C overnight. More strikingly, the apparent temperature — or &#8220;feels like&#8221; reading — is anticipated to reach 43°C in the city by Monday, significantly amplifying the heat stress on residents.</p>
  2021. <p>Southwesterly winds are currently blowing across the city at a speed of 20 kilometres per hour. Meteorologists have also cautioned that heatwave conditions could develop across the broader region in the coming week.</p>
  2022. <p>In its June to August 2026 seasonal outlook, the PMD highlighted key global climate drivers at play. The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is currently in a neutral phase but is projected to transition into a positive phase by July 2026. Meanwhile, the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has already entered a positive phase and is expected to intensify further over the season.</p>
  2023. <p>Against this backdrop, the Met Office has indicated that normal to below-normal rainfall is expected across the majority of Pakistan between June and August, with the most significant deficits likely in the northeastern parts of Punjab. A high probability of below-normal precipitation has been forecast for Punjab, Sindh, lower Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and most of Balochistan.</p>
  2024. <p>On the other hand, the northern regions are expected to fare comparatively better. Near-normal to slightly above-normal rainfall is anticipated over Gilgit-Baltistan, the adjoining areas of northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Kashmir — offering some relief to the upper reaches of the country amid an otherwise dry summer outlook.</p>

  2558. <p>Velayati wrote in a post on his X account on Saturday that the “longstanding nightmare and historical fear of Western theorists regarding Iran’s rise to power has turned into reality, and a new geometry has taken shape.”</p>
  2559. <p>He added that the admission by Western media outlets Reuters and The Guardian of US President Donald Trump’s need for a temporary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz indicates the “failure of the doctrine of threatening Iran” and the victory of the Resistance Front.</p>

  2588. <p>The Iranian foreign minister further noted that Aoun&#8217;s comments overlooked the primary threat facing Lebanon and misidentified the source of the country’s current challenges.</p>
  2589. <p>&#8220;Based on Mr. Aoun&#8217;s comments, one would think it is Iran that has occupied one-fifth of Lebanon, displaced one-quarter of the Lebanese people, and is bombing his country on a daily basis,&#8221; Araghchi said.</p>

  2669. <p data-start="160" data-end="486">Officials said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has frozen two foreign bank accounts belonging to accused individuals Ahmed Ali Riaz and Mubashra Ali Malik in a Silver Bank in Mauritius.

  2670. <p data-start="488" data-end="817">According to NAB sources, Bahria Town allegedly used an illegal hawala/hundi network to transfer suspected proceeds of crime out of Pakistan. The funds were first moved to the United Arab Emirates and later shifted to Mauritius through money laundering channels. These amounts were then deposited into joint bank accounts abroad.</p>
  2671. <p data-start="819" data-end="1000">Officials confirmed that these accounts currently hold around $4.5 million (45 lakh US dollars), which has now been legally frozen as part of ongoing asset recovery proceedings.</p>
  2672. <p data-start="1002" data-end="1120">NAB has also started formal legal action through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pursue the matter internationally.</p>
  2673. <p data-start="1122" data-end="1264">Sources said that the process of confiscating and bringing back the funds under the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2010 is now in its final stages.</p>

  2721. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Senior business leader and former president of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), SM Tanveer, has strongly endorsed the federal government&#8217;s newly introduced fixed tax scheme for shopkeepers, describing it as a positive and significant policy step for Pakistan&#8217;s retail sector.</p>
  2722. <p>In a statement, Tanveer called the initiative an important move toward expanding the country&#8217;s national tax base, saying the scheme represents a meaningful shift in how Pakistan approaches taxation of small and medium traders.</p>
  2723. <div class="pullquote">
  2724. <p>&#8220;This is an important step toward broadening the national tax base.&#8221;</p>
  2725. </div>
  2726. <p>Under the scheme, shopkeepers and retailers with an annual turnover of PKR 200 million or less will be required to pay a fixed income tax rate of one percent — a simplified and predictable structure designed to bring a large segment of the informal retail economy into the formal tax net without placing an excessive burden on small traders.</p>
  2727. <p>Tanveer also welcomed a key provision of the scheme that allows shopkeepers to claim withholding tax deductions, describing it as a trader-friendly measure that acknowledges the financial realities of running a small business in Pakistan&#8217;s current economic environment.</p>
  2728. <p>He noted that the scheme was developed through close consultation with trade and shopkeeper organisations — a process he credited for the policy&#8217;s practical design. Describing it as a &#8220;game changer&#8221; for the retail sector, Tanveer said the collaborative approach between the government and traders had produced a framework that is both workable and fair.</p>
  2729. <p>SM Tanveer extended formal congratulations to Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and Minister of State for Finance and Revenue Bilal Azhar Kayani for introducing the initiative, praising their role in advancing the country&#8217;s tax reform agenda. He also congratulated Ajmal Baloch for conducting successful negotiations that helped bring the scheme to fruition.</p>
  2730. <p>The fixed tax scheme for retailers is part of a broader government effort to document Pakistan&#8217;s large informal economy and increase direct tax revenues without triggering resistance from the country&#8217;s powerful trader community. By offering a simple, low, and predictable tax rate, the government aims to incentivise voluntary compliance among hundreds of thousands of shopkeepers who have historically remained outside the formal tax system.</p>

  2804. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nick Jonas has logged more flight hours than most people will in a lifetime. Concert tours across multiple continents, film shoots, press commitments — commercial aviation is essentially his office. Which is precisely why, when he describes a particular flight as the scariest experience he has ever had in the air, it is worth paying close attention.</p>
  2805. <h4>The moment everything changed</h4>
  2806. <p>What began as a routine flight shifted rapidly when an in-flight problem emerged. Jonas has described how the cabin atmosphere transformed almost instantly — from the ordinary ambient calm of a commercial flight to something tense and uncertain. Passengers sensed it before any formal announcement, the way people always do when something is genuinely wrong at altitude.</p>
  2807. <p>The detail that stayed with Jonas most sharply was not the technical malfunction or the turbulence or even the fear spreading through the cabin. It was the pilot. Seeing the person commanding the aircraft visibly affected by the situation — emotionally rather than clinically — is the kind of thing passengers rarely witness and never easily forget. Pilots are trained specifically to project composure. When that composure breaks, even partially, it recalibrates every passenger&#8217;s sense of what is actually happening.</p>
  2808. <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZNlKlFOvYw/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=491c9084-6aef-434a-bf2f-61c2900b7743" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-351867 size-full" src="https://gtvnewshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-06-154846.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="546" srcset="https://gtvnewshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-06-154846.jpg 298w, https://gtvnewshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-06-154846-164x300.jpg 164w" sizes="(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px" /></a></p>
  2809. <h4>Why this resonates beyond celebrity news</h4>
  2810. <p>Aviation psychologists have long documented what is known as the &#8220;pilot effect&#8221; on passenger anxiety. Studies show that passengers read flight crew body language and emotional state as their primary real-time indicator of danger — often more than any announcement or physical sensation. A calm crew reduces panic measurably. A visibly distressed one amplifies it, regardless of the actual severity of the situation. Jonas&#8217;s account, whether he framed it in these terms or not, describes this phenomenon exactly.</p>
  2811. <p>For context, commercial aviation remains statistically the safest form of long-distance transport. Fatal accident rates have declined consistently over the past three decades. The overwhelming majority of in-flight emergencies — technical alerts, pressure fluctuations, unexpected diversions — resolve without injury. But statistics offer little comfort at 35,000 feet when the man flying the aircraft looks frightened.</p>
  2812. <h4>The celebrity factor and what it adds</h4>
  2813. <p>Fans responded to the story with genuine warmth, partly because Jonas shared it without performing bravado. He did not frame it as a survival story. He framed it as a human one — something frightening that happened, that ended well, and that left a mark. That honesty is rare in celebrity media cycles built on curated invulnerability.</p>
  2814. <p>The incident also serves as a quiet reminder that access, wealth, and fame do not insulate anyone from the physical reality of being suspended in a metal tube six miles above the ground, entirely dependent on the competence and composure of people you will never meet again.</p>
  2815. <p>The flight landed safely. But some landings stay with you long after the wheels touch down.</p>

  2874. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="0" data-end="408">Pakistan has been relying on imported fuel to produce electricity for many years, which has increased power generation costs and put pressure on consumers.</p>
  2875. <p data-start="0" data-end="408">As electricity bills continue to rise, many households and businesses have turned to solar energy as a cheaper and cleaner option. However, concerns are growing that a proposed increase in taxes on solar panels could slow the shift towards solar power.</p>
  2876. <h3 data-section-id="1kv4tud" data-start="410" data-end="451">Possible Tax Increase on Solar Panels</h3>
  2877. <p data-start="453" data-end="687">Experts believe the government may introduce an 18 percent General Sales Tax (GST) on solar panels in the upcoming FY 2026-27 budget. This would come after a 10 percent GST was already imposed on solar panels in the FY 2025-26 budget.</p>
  2878. <p data-start="689" data-end="907">Even before any official announcement, solar panel prices have started increasing due to market speculation. Reports suggest prices have risen by 10 to 15 percent, with consumers paying around Rs4 to Rs5 more per watt.</p>
  2879. <h3 data-section-id="hda4w8" data-start="909" data-end="946">Solar Association Raises Concerns</h3>
  2880. <p data-start="948" data-end="1287">The Pakistan Solar Association (PSA) says solar systems with a total capacity of about 50 gigawatts have been installed across the country over the past 10 years. In response to the proposed tax increase, the association has launched a campaign called “#StopSunTax” and is urging the government not to impose more taxes on solar equipment.</p>
  2881. <p data-start="1289" data-end="1478">Speaking on Hum News’ morning show Subha Se Aagay, PSA Chairman Waqas H. Moosa warned that higher taxes could discourage people from adopting solar energy and negatively affect the economy.</p>
  2882. <h3 data-section-id="j6mqlx" data-start="1480" data-end="1514">Higher Costs May Reduce Demand</h3>
  2883. <p data-start="1516" data-end="1671">Moosa said the government may collect an additional Rs25 to Rs30 billion through higher taxes, but the country could face much larger losses in the future.</p>
  2884. <p data-start="1673" data-end="1814">“The government may collect Rs25 to Rs30 billion today, but the country could lose several times that amount over the coming years,” he said.</p>
  2885. <p data-start="1816" data-end="2023">He explained that higher taxes would increase the cost of installing solar systems. For example, a system currently costing Rs300,000 could rise to Rs330,000, making it difficult for many families to afford.</p>
  2886. <p data-start="2025" data-end="2220">“It is a basic principle of economics that when prices rise, demand falls. While many people may still install solar systems, a percentage of consumers will be priced out of the market,” he said.</p>
  2887. <h3 data-section-id="1etz30x" data-start="2222" data-end="2248">Impact on Fuel Imports</h3>
  2888. <p data-start="2250" data-end="2481">According to Moosa, people who decide not to install solar systems will continue relying on electricity generated from imported fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. This would increase pressure on Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves.</p>
  2889. <p data-start="2483" data-end="2709">“If even 10 percent fewer people install solar because of higher prices, they will remain dependent on the traditional power system. That means Pakistan will continue importing expensive fuels for years to come,” he explained.</p>
  2890. <p data-start="2711" data-end="2926">He added that solar systems can operate for 10 to 20 years, providing long-term savings for consumers and the country. Any reduction in solar adoption today could lead to much higher fuel import costs in the future.</p>
  2891. <p data-start="2928" data-end="3116">“The loss is not for one year; it continues for 10 years or more. To gain Rs25 billion today, we may end up spending over Rs125 billion in imported fuel costs in the future,” Moosa warned.</p>
  2892. <h3 data-section-id="18nb7dx" data-start="3118" data-end="3144">Call for Policy Review</h3>
  2893. <p data-start="3146" data-end="3437">The PSA has asked the government to reconsider its tax policy on solar energy and take a long-term view of the issue. The association also urged policymakers to discuss the matter with international institutions, including the IMF, and highlight the importance of promoting renewable energy.</p>
  2894. <p data-start="3439" data-end="3598" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">“This is not merely a revenue issue. It is a question of energy security, foreign exchange savings, and Pakistan’s long-term economic future,” Moosa concluded.</p>

  2918. <p>Authorities in Diamer district of Gilgit-Baltistan have imposed Section 144 for a period of 60 days as the region prepares for the upcoming Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly elections, scheduled for June 7. The order took effect on June 5 and was issued by District Magistrate Diamer, Lieutenant (Retired) Muhammad Awais.</p>
  2919. <p>Officials described the situation in the district as sensitive, stating that the measure is intended to preserve law and order throughout the election period and ensure that polling proceeds peacefully.</p>
  2920. <p>Under the terms of the order, the carrying and public display of all types of weapons has been strictly prohibited. Aerial firing has also been banned. The use of fireworks and crackers is similarly not permitted, with officials noting that such activities pose a risk to public peace and safety.</p>
  2921. <p>In a notable security provision, the district administration has banned the operation of drones, quadcopters, and all other unmanned aerial vehicles within the district. Authorities cited the security risks these devices pose to sensitive installations and government facilities as the basis for the restriction.</p>
  2922. <p>Law enforcement personnel and individuals holding written authorisation from the district administration are exempted from the prohibitions. The notification made clear that any violation of the Section 144 order will result in strict legal action, and citizens have been urged to comply fully with the restrictions in place.</p>
  2923. <p>Officials warned that unauthorised use of drones, weapons, or fireworks could not only endanger public safety but also cause property damage and create fire hazards in the district.</p>
  2924. <p>The Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly had completed its term in November 2025. The elections were delayed from their original date due to severe weather conditions across the mountainous region, with June 7 eventually selected as the most practical window before the commencement of the Muharram period.</p>
  2925. <p>The district administration appealed to residents to extend full cooperation to law enforcement agencies and reminded the public that the security arrangements now in place across Diamer are aimed at guaranteeing a free, fair, and peaceful election for all voters in the constituency.</p>

  2948. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="45" data-end="194">The price of kerosene oil has increased in Pakistan after the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) raised the rate by Rs8.70 per litre.</p>
  2949. <p data-start="196" data-end="409">According to an official notification, the new price of kerosene oil has been set at Rs280.70 per litre, compared to the previous rate of Rs272 per litre. The revised price is now being applied across the country.</p>
  2950. <p data-start="411" data-end="598">This increase comes shortly after recent changes in petroleum prices announced by the government. Petrol prices were reduced by Rs4 per litre, bringing the new rate to Rs377.78 per litre.</p>
  2951. <p data-start="600" data-end="682">Meanwhile, the price of high-speed diesel remains unchanged at Rs380.78 per litre.</p>
  2952. <p data-start="684" data-end="807">Earlier, on May 29, 2026, the prime minister had announced a major reduction of Rs22 per litre in petrol and diesel prices.</p>
  2953. <p data-start="809" data-end="1098" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">In recent months, petroleum prices in Pakistan had reached high levels due to regional and global market conditions. This led the government to introduce subsidies for transport sectors, including public transport, goods transport, motorcycles, and rickshaws, to ease the burden on people.</p>

  2974. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A sharp public exchange has erupted between Tehran and Beirut after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi directly rebuked Lebanese President Joseph Aoun over remarks made during a televised interview, accusing him of misidentifying the source of Lebanon&#8217;s crises and deflecting attention away from what Iran characterises as the country&#8217;s primary threat.</p>
  2975. <p>Araghchi took to X on Saturday to respond to Aoun&#8217;s comments, made a day earlier during an exclusive interview with CNN&#8217;s Christiane Amanpour. The Iranian minister&#8217;s message was pointed and public:</p>
  2976. <div class="pullquote">
  2977. <p>&#8220;Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.&#8221;</p>
  2978. </div>
  2979. <p>Araghchi argued that Aoun&#8217;s framing of Iran as a destabilising force fundamentally misread the situation on the ground, stating:</p>
  2980. <div class="pullquote">
  2981. <p>&#8220;Based on Mr. Aoun&#8217;s comments, one would think it is Iran that has occupied one-fifth of Lebanon, displaced one-quarter of the Lebanese people, and is bombing his country on a daily basis.&#8221;</p>
  2982. </div>
  2983. <p>Araghchi also pushed back firmly against Aoun&#8217;s assertion that Iran was leveraging Lebanon in its diplomatic negotiations with Washington, calling the claim unfounded:</p>
  2984. <div class="pullquote">
  2985. <p>&#8220;Had Lebanon been a bargaining chip for Iran, we would have reached a deal long ago.&#8221;</p>
  2986. </div>
  2987. <p>In his CNN interview, Aoun had delivered a direct message to the IRGC, following remarks by its chief commander Brigadier General Esmaeil Qaani that Hezbollah&#8217;s minimum condition was a complete Israeli withdrawal to pre-war positions. Aoun told the force plainly: &#8220;It&#8217;s not your country, it&#8217;s our country.&#8221; He also described any use of Lebanon as leverage in Iran-US talks as &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and called on Hezbollah to pursue diplomacy as the only viable path to ending the conflict with Israel.</p>
  2988. <p>The diplomatic spat comes against the backdrop of a US-brokered ceasefire between the Lebanese government and Israel, though the agreement has done little to halt violence on the ground. Israeli strikes have continued across southern Lebanon, targeting villages and towns and destroying civilian homes, public facilities, and infrastructure. Several Lebanese civilians have been killed or wounded in recent strikes, and displacement orders have been issued for residents of three towns in the Sidon and Nabatiyeh areas.</p>
  2989. <p>Lebanon&#8217;s Health Ministry reported on Thursday that the war has claimed at least 3,526 lives since March 2, with the toll continuing to rise despite the nominal ceasefire arrangement.</p>
  2990. <p>The public clash between Araghchi and Aoun highlights a deepening tension between Beirut and Tehran over the question of sovereignty, Hezbollah&#8217;s role, and the terms under which Lebanon&#8217;s conflict with Israel can ultimately be resolved.</p>

  3013. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="84" data-end="257"><strong>ISLAMABAD:</strong> The federal government is planning to give tax relief to beauty parlours, skincare clinics, and health clubs in the upcoming Budget 2026-27, according to sources.</p>
  3014. <p data-start="259" data-end="362">Sources said customs duties may be reduced by 2 to 5 percent under Customs Notifications 1151 and 1152.</p>
  3015. <p data-start="364" data-end="583">Under the proposed plan, duties on imported makeup raw materials used in beauty parlours could be reduced from 44 percent to 40 percent. Similar cuts are also expected on other raw materials used in the beauty industry.</p>
  3016. <p data-start="585" data-end="771">The duty on imported sunblocks and sunscreens may also drop from 44 percent to 40 percent. In addition, duties on imported hair-care materials are likely to be reduced to the same level.</p>
  3017. <p data-start="773" data-end="927">For men’s salons, the government is considering reducing duties on shaving creams, aftershave lotions, and related products from 40 percent to 35 percent.</p>

  3020. <p data-start="1335" data-end="1428">These changes are expected to be announced in the federal budget for the fiscal year 2026-27.</p>
  3021. <p data-start="1430" data-end="1646">Earlier, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said the government is introducing a fixed tax scheme for small traders and retailers. He said the goal is to expand the tax net and reduce pressure on existing taxpayers.</p>
  3022. <p data-start="1648" data-end="1833">He added that Pakistan’s economy remained stable despite floods and regional conflicts, and said the country managed these challenges using its own resources without foreign assistance.</p>
  3023. <p data-start="1835" data-end="1982" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Officials also said the new scheme will have a fixed tax rate of one percent, and any already deducted withholding tax will be adjusted against it.</p>

  3044. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States has confirmed that Iran&#8217;s national football team has been granted entry visas to compete in the FIFA World Cup on American soil, even as the two countries remain engaged in a wartime conflict that has kept diplomatic ties severely strained.</p>
  3045. <p>US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack made the confirmation on Friday, with a senior State Department official separately issuing a parallel confirmation. The development clears the path for Iran to participate in the world&#8217;s most-watched sporting event despite the ongoing hostilities that began on February 28, when US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran — a conflict now operating under a fragile truce.</p>
  3046. <p>Ambassador Barrack expressed pride in the embassy team&#8217;s efforts in processing the applications, stating:</p>
  3047. <div class="pullquote">
  3048. <p>&#8220;Proud of our outstanding team at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara for their work processing visas for Iran&#8217;s national football team on their road to the @FIFAWorldCup in the United States.&#8221;</p>
  3049. </div>
  3050. <div class="pullquote">
  3051. <p>&#8220;Sports transcends borders, and we look forward to welcoming competitors and fans from around the world.&#8221;</p>
  3052. </div>
  3053. <p>The unnamed State Department official who separately confirmed the visa issuance also issued a pointed caveat, stating: &#8220;We will not allow the Iranian team to abuse this system to sneak terrorists into the United States under false pretenses.&#8221;</p>
  3054. <p>Iran&#8217;s squad is scheduled to depart Turkey for Spain on Saturday before travelling onward to Mexico, which will serve as their base camp for the duration of the tournament. They are expected to arrive in Mexico on Sunday. The team originally planned to be based in the United States but relocated their training camp to Mexico amid the tensions arising from the conflict.</p>
  3055. <p>Despite the Mexican base, all three of Iran&#8217;s group stage matches are scheduled to take place on US soil. Iran open their World Cup campaign against New Zealand on June 16 in Los Angeles. They will follow that with a second group match against Belgium, also in Los Angeles, before concluding group play against Egypt in Seattle.</p>
  3056. <p>The visa approval marks a rare instance of sport cutting through the fog of an active geopolitical conflict, with both governments effectively separating athletic competition from battlefield hostilities — at least for the duration of the tournament.</p>

  3077. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pakistan and Russia have formalised a framework for deeper security cooperation, signing bilateral agreements targeting illegal immigration and drug trafficking on the sidelines of a high-level regional gathering in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek.</p>
  3078. <p>The agreements were inked during a meeting between Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, on the margins of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) conference of interior and public security ministers. The Ministry of Interior confirmed the development in an official statement issued on Saturday.</p>
  3079. <p>The two sides concluded two key accords: the first aimed at curbing illegal immigration and streamlining the repatriation of nationals between the two countries, and the second focused on strengthening joint efforts against narcotics trafficking and drug-related crime.</p>
  3080. <p>Beyond the Russia engagement, Minister Naqvi held a series of bilateral meetings with the interior ministers of four Central Asian SCO member states, each centred on security challenges tied to the situation in Afghanistan.</p>
  3081. <p>In talks with Tajik Interior Minister Ramazon Rahimzoda, discussions zeroed in on security threats emanating from Afghan soil, particularly the presence of terrorist training camps and the country&#8217;s role as a major narcotics production hub. Naqvi stated that the existence of such camps posed serious security concerns for the entire region, and participating ministers noted that approximately 25 terrorist organisations were currently operating within Afghanistan.</p>
  3082. <p><a href="https://x.com/MOIofficialGoP/status/2063098415341552050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2063098415341552050%7Ctwgr%5Ea27cb6b5f1604b1fba29a395e7468bb6f57db3d5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.geo.tv%2Flatest%2F667502-pakistan-russia-agree-to-boost-cooperation-against-illegal-immigration-drug-trafficking" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-351835 size-full" src="https://gtvnewshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-06-112116.jpg" alt="" width="443" height="510" srcset="https://gtvnewshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-06-112116.jpg 443w, https://gtvnewshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-06-112116-261x300.jpg 261w" sizes="(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px" /></a></p>
  3083. <p>Naqvi&#8217;s meeting with Uzbek Interior Minister Aziz Tashpulatov focused on expanding law enforcement collaboration and developing joint training programmes between the two countries&#8217; security agencies.</p>
  3084. <p>In a separate engagement with Kyrgyz Interior Minister Ulan Niyazbekov, both sides agreed to deepen cooperation across areas of shared interest. Naqvi also extended Pakistan&#8217;s congratulations to Kyrgyzstan on its recent election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.</p>
  3085. <p>The day&#8217;s final bilateral was with Kazakhstan&#8217;s Interior Minister Yerzhan Sadenov. The two sides agreed to intensify cooperation on preventing illegal immigration and resolved to establish a joint working group between their interior ministries to provide a structured, ongoing mechanism for bilateral collaboration.</p>
  3086. <p>The Bishkek conference brought together interior and security ministers from across the SCO membership at a moment of heightened regional concern over Afghanistan-linked instability, with cross-border terrorism, narcotics flows, and irregular migration emerging as the dominant themes of the multilateral agenda.</p>

  3107. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain on Friday, US military officials confirmed, marking one of the most direct escalations against Gulf nations since the broader regional conflict began. The strikes came hours after US forces had already intercepted four Iranian one-way attack drones in the same theatre.</p>
  3108. <p>US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement posted to X that its forces successfully intercepted six of the seven missiles launched by Iran. The seventh, it said, &#8220;did not reach its intended target.&#8221; CENTCOM was unequivocal in rejecting Iranian claims of significant damage, stating:</p>
  3109. <div class="pullquote">
  3110. <p>&#8220;There are currently no reports of harm to US personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging US 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false.&#8221;</p>
  3111. </div>
  3112. <p>On the ground, AFP correspondents in both countries reported hearing the strikes firsthand. In Kuwait, multiple explosions were detected in areas near Kuwait International Airport, and the Kuwaiti military confirmed it was responding to what it described as &#8220;hostile&#8221; missile and drone attacks. In the Bahraini capital Manama, an AFP correspondent reported hearing both explosions and interceptions as air raid sirens sounded across the city.</p>
  3113. <p>The missile salvo followed a separate and earlier Iranian drone attack on Kuwait International Airport that had already drawn international condemnation. That strike killed one person and injured 63 others. Kuwait officials formally &#8220;condemned Iranian aggression&#8221; in its wake. Tehran, however, denied responsibility for that attack, attributing it to what it called &#8220;an error in the American Patriot systems&#8221; — a reference to the US-supplied anti-missile battery deployed in the region.</p>
  3114. <p>In a development that underscored Washington&#8217;s shifting posture in the Gulf, the US State Department announced on Friday its approval of a $1.98 billion arms sale to Kuwait, centred on counter-drone technology supplied by defence company Anduril. Justifying the sale, the State Department stated:</p>
  3115. <div class="pullquote">
  3116. <p>&#8220;This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a major non-NATO ally that has been an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.&#8221;</p>
  3117. </div>
  3118. <p>The latest round of exchanges represents a significant fracture in the ceasefire that had been brokered by Pakistan and took effect on April 8 — forty days after US and Israeli forces struck Iran on February 28, triggering the broader conflict. While the ceasefire had largely held through sporadic exchanges, Friday&#8217;s coordinated missile launches signal a sharp deterioration in the fragile arrangement.</p>
  3119. <p>The strikes also raise renewed concern over the security of Gulf energy infrastructure and the safety of commercial shipping in the region, with analysts warning that further escalation could have far-reaching consequences for global oil markets and regional stability.</p>

  3143. <p>The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) government has formally declared the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) a banned organisation, placing it on the First Schedule of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Terrorism Act 2014 — a significant legal escalation in the ongoing standoff between the authorities and the protest movement.</p>
  3144. <p>The AJK Home Department issued an official notification confirming that organisations operating under the names &#8220;Jammu Kashmir Action Committee&#8221; and &#8220;Joint Awami Action Committee&#8221; have been listed as proscribed entities under the region&#8217;s anti-terrorism legislation. The notification states that the decision carries the formal approval of the President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.</p>
  3145. <p>According to the notification, authorities concluded that sufficient grounds exist to establish the organisation&#8217;s involvement in activities threatening peace and public safety — including inciting civil unrest, disturbing law and order, spreading public fear, and promoting hatred against state institutions. The government also accused the group of attempting to destabilise the region.</p>
  3146. <p>Under Section 12 of the Anti-Terrorism Act 2014, the ban extends to all alternative names under which the organisation may seek to continue operating, a measure the Home Department described as necessary to prevent reconstitution under a different title.</p>
  3147. <p>Copies of the formal notification have been distributed to a wide network of federal and provincial authorities, including the Ministry of Interior, the offices of the President and Prime Minister of AJK, the Chief Secretary, and divisional administrations in Muzaffarabad, Poonch, and Mirpur. District-level enforcement directives were also issued to all Deputy Commissioners, Senior Superintendents of Police, the Counter Terrorism Department, and Special Branch units across the region.</p>
  3148. <p>The ban follows a series of escalating warnings from the AJK government directed at JAAC in the lead-up to a planned protest activity on June 9. An AJK government spokesperson accused the committee of choosing confrontation over dialogue, stating that the group had opted for pressure-based street politics rather than constructive engagement. The spokesperson made clear that peaceful protest remains a democratic right but drew a firm line against obstruction:</p>
  3149. <div class="pullquote">
  3150. <p>&#8220;Roads cannot be blocked or public life paralysed under the guise of protest.&#8221;</p>
  3151. </div>
  3152. <p>The spokesperson further warned that any effort to disrupt law and order or create chaos in the name of agitation would invite legal action, adding that Azad Kashmir requires stability, dialogue, and practical solutions rather than prolonged protest politics.</p>
  3153. <p>On the question of the June 9 electoral activity, the government cautioned that obstructing the process would not serve public rights but would instead undermine democratic procedures. Citizens, the spokesperson said, should place their trust in voting, dialogue, and constitutional mechanisms rather than pressure tactics.</p>
  3154. <p>Alongside the ban, authorities separately ordered an internet and mobile service shutdown in AJK, a measure that has drawn additional attention to the government&#8217;s hardening posture toward the protest movement. Authorities maintained that all decisions taken are aimed at ensuring law and order, public safety, and state stability, asserting that no organisation would be permitted to threaten peace or security in the region.</p>

  3178. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) declared on Saturday that it had carried out ballistic missile strikes against two US air bases in Kuwait and key facilities of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, describing the action as a direct response to American drone attacks on Iranian soil earlier the same night.</p>
  3179. <p>According to an IRGC statement issued Saturday morning, the sequence of events began at 1:30 am when four oil tankers — which the IRGC alleged were operating under the direction of US forces — attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without coordination and in defiance of repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy. One tanker was intercepted and halted; the remaining vessels turned back.</p>
  3180. <p>At 2:30 am, the IRGC said, US drones struck a telecommunications mast on Qeshm Island and a second mast in Sirik using two projectiles. The IRGC&#8217;s Aerospace Force responded by launching ballistic missiles at two US air bases in Kuwait — one identified as Ali Al Salem Air Base — as well as at remaining US Fifth Fleet installations in Bahrain.</p>
  3181. <p>The IRGC issued a stark warning in its statement, saying:</p>
  3182. <div class="pullquote">
  3183. <p>&#8220;The aggressive and child-killing enemy that if such acts of villainy are repeated, the response will not be limited.&#8221;</p>
  3184. </div>
  3185. <div class="pullquote">
  3186. <p>&#8220;You will be responsible for the consequences of the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the export of your oil and gas.&#8221;</p>
  3187. </div>
  3188. <p>The US military offered a different account of the overnight events. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated on X that its forces had intercepted four Iranian one-way attack drones heading toward the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as an immediate threat to maritime traffic in the region. CENTCOM said its forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island, framing the action as defensive. It added that American forces remain prepared to respond to what it described as &#8220;unjustified Iranian aggression in self-defense.&#8221;</p>
  3189. <p>Ground-level reports corroborated some of the overnight activity: an IRIB correspondent in Sirik confirmed that multiple explosions were heard in the city at around 2:30 am Saturday.</p>
  3190. <p>The latest exchange marks a fresh escalation in an ongoing conflict that began on February 28, when US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran. Tehran responded with an extensive campaign of missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli-held territories and US military installations across the region. A Pakistan-brokered temporary ceasefire came into effect on April 8 — forty days into the hostilities — though Saturday&#8217;s events suggest that ceasefire has broken down.</p>
  3191. <p>The IRGC Navy also reiterated that it maintains full operational control over the Strait of Hormuz and that any intervention by foreign military forces in the waterway will be met with an immediate armed response — a warning that carries significant implications for global energy markets, given that a substantial portion of the world&#8217;s oil and gas transits the strait daily.</p>

  3212. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ethiopia and Pakistan have taken a significant step toward deepening their bilateral relationship, agreeing on Friday to establish a strong parliamentary bond aimed at expanding cooperation across trade, investment, agriculture, aviation, and cultural exchange.</p>
  3213. <p>The commitment emerged from a high-level meeting held in Islamabad between H.E. Dr. Oumer Hussien Oba, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, and H.E. Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, Chairman of the Senate of Pakistan. The two sides conducted a wide-ranging review of the current state of bilateral relations and identified new areas for joint engagement.</p>
  3214. <p>Ambassador Dr. Oumer underscored the depth and longevity of ties between the two nations, pointing to their shared history, cultural values, and mutual respect. He drew particular attention to Ethiopia&#8217;s strategic role as the permanent home of the African Union, describing the country as &#8220;a vital gateway to the African continent&#8221; and noting that Pakistan stands to substantially expand its presence across Africa by leveraging its relationship with Addis Ababa.</p>
  3215. <div class="pullquote">
  3216. <p>&#8220;Pakistan can leverage its relations with Ethiopia to significantly increase its footprint across Africa.&#8221;</p>
  3217. </div>
  3218. <p>Senate Chairman Gilani, for his part, commended Ethiopia&#8217;s remarkable pace of economic development and the scope of domestic reforms underway across the country. He stressed that cultural exchanges and religious tourism must serve as &#8220;essential foundations&#8221; for the bilateral relationship, particularly in building deeper people-to-people connections between the two nations.</p>
  3219. <p>On the economic front, Gilani highlighted Pakistan&#8217;s significant agricultural capacity and called for the exchange of technical knowledge and expertise to advance shared development goals, particularly within the broader framework of Global South cooperation.</p>
  3220. <p>As the meeting drew to a close, both sides formalised their intent to establish parliamentary friendship groups and to facilitate the exchange of parliamentary delegations — mechanisms designed to strengthen institutional links and embed the bilateral relationship within formal diplomatic structures.</p>
  3221. <p>The meeting reflects a broader diplomatic momentum between the two nations, with both governments signalling readiness to translate goodwill into concrete cooperation across multiple sectors in the months ahead.</p>
