After the Pahalgam terrorist attack launched by the Indian Army on 7 May 2025, the aim of Operation Sindoor was to target and destroy the terrorist bases present in Pakistan. During this period, 100 terrorists were killed by the Indian Army. Here, China has always been underestimating the help of Pakistan Army during Indian military operations.

India’s Lieutenant General had claimed about China’s cooperation

Beijing never officially responded to the claims of Indian Army Deputy Chief Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh. Questions were raised on China’s role in these statements. Then Lieutenant General Singh had said that it seemed that China used its satellite network to keep an eye on the deployment of the Indian Army. Pakistan reportedly continued to receive real-time inputs even during DGMO-level talks.

In his statement, the Army Chief had compared China’s attitude with the ancient Chinese principle of 36 stratagems. It means attacking with a borrowed knife. Beijing used Pakistan as a proxy to put pressure on India.

Oil India Discover Oil Gas In Libya: A big and happy news has emerged for India amidst the Middle East war. Oil India Limited has reported the discovery of a foreign reserve of oil and gas. This stock has been found in Libya. Information has been given to the stock exchange on behalf of this government company. This discovery has been made in Area 95/96 Block of Libya. It falls in the Ghadames Basin located in the south-western area of ​​the country. This area is considered to have immense potential for hydrocarbons.

How much stake does Oil India have in this block?

Oil India has 25 percent stake in this block. This block is spread over an area of ​​approximately 6,630 square kilometers. It is part of an Indian consortium. Indian Oil Corporation Limited is also included in this.

According to the company, there is a plan to dig eight wells in this block. Five of these have been excavated. This reserve was discovered during the excavation of the sixth well. Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) has recognized this discovery.

Oil and gas were found from so many wells in 2012-2014

Earlier, between 2012 and 2014, oil and gas were found from four wells. The company said that this new discovery will now be evaluated in detail. This will make it easier to assess the capacity of the stock. Oil India has said that this discovery can increase the value of its overseas assets. Also, it will prove helpful in increasing revenue in future.

This discovery is being considered important because the supply has been affected since the blockade and war on Hormuz. About one-fifth of the world’s oil is supplied through this route. In such a situation, it has affected the world economy. Inflation has increased in the countries of the world due to the supply of gas and oil. Shortage of millions of barrels of oil has been seen in the markets.

Asim Munir Iran Visit: A total four-member delegation of Pakistan led by Field Marshal Asim Munir, chief of the three armies of Pakistan, had gone to Iran’s capital Tehran on Wednesday evening. Apart from Asim Munir, Pakistani Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan Army DG (Military Operations) Major General Kashif Abdullah and Asim Munir’s private secretary Major General Syed Jawad Tariq were included in this.

According to sources, DG (Military Operations) Major General Kashif Abdullah was included in the Pakistani delegation that went to Tehran for talks because Pakistan had last Thursday deployed a squadron of its F-16 fighter jets at Saudi Arabia’s Abdul Aziz airbase, 200 km from the Iranian border in Saudi Arabia.

It has the 12th Armored Brigade of the 25th Mechanized Division and the 31st Mechanized Brigade of Tynite near the Yemen border.

Regarding Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir, White House sources had informed the American media that Asim Munir was in constant touch with Steve Witkoff after the talks failed in Islamabad on Sunday. Was talking.

Asim Munir, based on the conversation with US Special Envoy to Central Asia Steve Witkoff, informed Abbas Araghchi, Kazem Gharibabadi, Ismail Baghi about America’s new concessions in a meeting with Iranian leaders in Tehran.

However, this is not a new case of Pakistan being a mediator in the relations between America and Iran. Since 1979, when diplomatic relations between America and Iran ended, Pakistan has been conducting back channel talks with America for Iran.

Since 1979, there has been an Iranian Interest Section in the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, whose director is Iranian diplomat Mehdi Atefat.

Trump and Witkoff’s Pakistani connection

Similarly, Trump’s special envoy to Central Asia and his friend Steve Witkoff also has a special connection with Pakistan and is playing a key role in the talks with Iran. Just a few months ago, Steve Witkoff had got the deal for the reconstruction of the Roosevelt Hotel of the Pakistani government located in Manhattan, New York, America. Under this, this hotel of Pakistani government will be rebuilt by the governments of America and Pakistan together. After the deal between Trump and Witkoff in February, there were allegations that under this deal, Trump and Witkoff would provide benefits to real estate businessmen in reconstruction.

Similarly, last year, Pakistan had signed an agreement with a cryptocurrency venture named World Liberty Financial in the presence of Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir, whose founder Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jarrad Kushner along with Trump’s two sons Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and the Trump family own a total of 60% shares.

Trump’s son-in-law Gerard Kushner is also included in the team for talks with Iran. In such a situation, just a few days ago the American newspaper New York Times had claimed that a major reason for Pakistan getting the role of mediator from America in the Iran-America war is the Roosevelt Hotel deal and the crypto deal. In this, because of pleasing Trump, America has got the chair of mediator.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had reached Saudi

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif also reached Saudi Arabia yesterday. Shahbaz Sharif met Saudi Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah. This was the first meeting after Pakistan deployed its fighter aircraft and army in Saudi Arabia.

Earlier on March 6, amidst the war, Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir had gone to Saudi and met Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman. It was promised that Pakistan would deploy its military power to protect Saudi, but Pakistan did not keep this promise.

After this, on further pressure by Saudi Arabia, on March 12, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Asim Munir and Ishaq Dar go to Saudi Arabia and again promise Saudi Arabia that its army will soon deploy its fighter jets and anti-drone systems in Saudi Arabia and will also send soldiers.

Although Pakistan does not even fulfill this promise, the turning point in this matter is considered to be the demand of 3.5 billion dollar installment of the loan given by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Pakistan, after which Pakistan first asked for financial help from Saudi and then from Thursday 9 April, it started deploying its army, fighter jets, anti-drone system and Saab-2000 Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AWCS) in Saudi Arabia. Did it.

After which ABP News was the first to reveal on April 13 that the Saudi Arabian government has approved giving $ 3 billion in aid to Pakistan in exchange for military deployment and that is why Shahbaz Sharif reached Saudi Arabia yesterday to thank Saudi Arabia and promise the defense of Saudi after the military deployment. Where in the talks between Iran and America, he had also demanded Saudi Arabia to talk to America to reach an agreement with Iran.

Iran is assessing Asim Munir’s words

Yesterday in Tehran, after Asim Munir gave information about America’s conditions and concessions to the leaders of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the Iranian government informed its official news agency Tasnim News Agency that Iran is currently assessing the things told by Asim Munir and only after that it will be decided whether the Iranian delegation will go for the second round of talks with America or not.

The reason behind this is that after Asim Munir’s conversation and information about America’s offer to Iran, Iran said that there are differences between the two countries on the issue of uranium. While America wants Iran not to enrich uranium for 20 years, Iran is ready for only 5 years considering its civilian needs.

The election temperature in Bengal has reached such a high level that on one hand the central agencies have taken swift action in the coal scam case due to widespread corruption, while on the other hand PM Modi to Amit Shah are busy campaigning vigorously in the state. BJP seems confident that the government will be formed in Bengal under the leadership of the party. In such a situation, the entire BJP is attacking TMC and its rule.
