Pakistan nominates Donald Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize
Pakistan government has formally nominated US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his 'decisive diplomatic engagement and pivotal leadership' during the 2025 India-Pakistan crisis, which it credits with preventing a potentially catastrophic conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.In a formal statement posted on the government's verified account, Islamabad praised Trump for what it called a critical intervention that led to a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, preventing what could have escalated into a full-scale regional war.advertisementPresident Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship by engaging both Islamabad and New Delhi at a critical moment. "His efforts led to a ceasefire that averted a catastrophic conflict,' the statement said.
Pakistan said the crisis began with what it described as 'unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression' that violated its sovereignty and caused significant civilian casualties. In response, Islamabad launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, described as a 'measured and precise military response' aimed at restoring deterrence while minimizing harm to civilians.As tensions rose rapidly, Pakistan claimed it was Trump's 'back-channel diplomacy' that helped de-escalate the situation and restore calm.'This intervention is a testament to President Trump's role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to resolving conflicts through dialogue,' the statement added.Islamabad also lauded Trump for his repeated offers to mediate the Kashmir dispute, calling his involvement a 'sincere commitment to durable peace in South Asia.''True peace in the region would remain out of reach without the resolution of the Kashmir conflict in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions," the Pakistani government emphasised.Tune InMust Watch

What is the ‘Einstein visa' controversy in the US and what do you need to apply for it
In a charged moment during a House Judiciary Committee meeting in the US on Wednesday, Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett turned her sights on a polarising figure: First Lady Melania Trump. 'The first lady, a model—and when I say model, I'm not talking Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell-level—applied for and was given an EB-1 visa,' Crockett said incredulously. 'Let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa,' she said, 'you're supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer, being an Olympic medallist, or having other sustained extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. Last time I checked, the first lady had none of those accolades under her belt. It doesn't take an Einstein to see that the math ain't mathin' here.' Melania Trump, then known as Melania Knauss, was a Slovenian model living in New York when she applied for the EB-1 in 2000. The visa was approved in 2001, and she became a US citizen in 2006. That citizenship later allowed her to sponsor her parents for green cards. Her case has drawn particular attention because her husband, President Donald Trump, seeks to end what he calls 'chain migration' – the very policy that enabled his wife to sponsor her family. His proposed merit-based system would have blocked his in-laws' sponsorships. During the hearing, Crockett asked, 'why aren't we talking about integrity when it comes to the president's family's visas?' The EB-1 is a US employment-based green card for people with 'extraordinary ability' in fields like science, arts, education, business, or athletics. Applicants must demonstrate 'sustained national or international acclaim' through a major award — such as a Nobel Prize — or meet at least three of ten listed criteria, according to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Success grants a green card, offering permanent residency and a path to citizenship. Yet, as Susan McFadden, a specialist visa lawyer at Gudeon and McFadden in London, told the BBC, 'you do not have to be a Nobel prize winner to get the extraordinary ability visa. I've gotten EB-1 visas for people you've never heard of and never will.' The key, she explained, lies in crafting a narrative that positions the applicant as peerless within a narrowly defined field. Trying to prove your client is an exceptional entrepreneur has them compete with Richard Branson, McFadden said. Proving they are outstanding within alternative asset commercial finance management. Thats not so tough. Several recipients of the EB-1 visa have had niche or unconventional talents. Indian-origin investment banker Mangesh Ghogre received the visa for his skill in constructing crossword puzzles, which have been published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. Stunt coordinator Glenn Boswell was approved within a week after submitting a 439-page petition detailing credits in films like The Matrix, The Hobbit, and Unbroken. Other recipients include Cirque du Soleil acrobat Daniel Riffner, who applied in 2009 with a portfolio of medals and photographs of his high-wire acts, and Syrian clarinettist Kinan Azmeh, a member of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, who received his green card in 2012. Each year, roughly 40,000 EB-1 visas are allocated within the broader employment-based immigration quota, but demand, particularly from countries like India and China, often creates backlogs. The application process is rigorous, requiring a Form I-140 petition backed by voluminous evidence. Rita Sostrin, a Los Angeles-based immigration lawyer, told the New York Times, 'recipients are supposed to be the best of the best, but meeting the criteria is no guarantee. An adjudication officer makes a judgment call.' This subjectivity fuels criticism that the program can be gamed. In a viral 2023 blog post, San Francisco-based tech entrepreneur Debarghya Das outlined what he called the 'ultimate guide to an EB-1A' visa, advising applicants to work with firms that amplify their achievements through niche trade publications. 'There are firms that work with you to understand the scope of your contributions and find outlets for you to publish them for niche trade magazines read by industry experts,' Das wrote, framing his advice as a lifeline for 'talented Indians' caught in visa limbo. Sostrin once distributed a fabricated résumé based on Albert Einstein's early academic accomplishments at a legal conference. The consensus among immigration lawyers? Even Einstein might have struggled to qualify for an EB-1 before winning the Nobel Prize. Sostrin and others have noted that the system tends to favour fields where success is easily documented in awards or media coverage, while disadvantaging others like entrepreneurship, where achievements may not be recognised through traditional benchmarks. The program's susceptibility to manipulation has drawn particular ire. Shera Béchard, a Canadian model and Playboy Playmate, secured an EB-1 in 2012, prompting questions about how modelling, a field rarely associated with Nobel-level acclaim, met the threshold. Melania Trump's case invites similar scepticism. As a model in 2000, she was known more for her relationship with Donald Trump than for groundbreaking achievements. The EB-1 visa embodies a paradox. It aims to attract global talent but often rewards those who can navigate its ambiguities. Its roughly 40,000 annual slots are a small fraction of the 140,000 employment-based green cards issued yearly, yet the program's high profile, bolstered by its 'Einstein' moniker, invites outsized scrutiny. For every Kinan Azmeh or Glenn Boswell, whose contributions are demonstrable, there are cases that strain credulity, fuelling perceptions of favouritism or lax standards.

Backstory you didn't know: Israel's Mossad was inside Iran's nuke program for years which set stage for strikes
It turns out that Israel's war against Iran began with moles, not missiles. According to a new report, Israeli intelligence has been quietly operating within Iran's nuclear and missile programs for several years. According to a report released by The Times on Saturday, Israeli intelligence agents have been collecting comprehensive intelligence on the strategic capabilities of the Islamic Republic since breaking into the core of Iran's missile and nuclear programs years ago. How did Israeli spies map Iran's nuclear sites? The leaked intelligence report reveals that Israel's Mossad has spent years infiltrating Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure. It also reveals how Israeli spies who were deeply ingrained in Iran's nuclear and missile programs made precision strikes possible. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo by Taboola by Taboola The revelation has shaken Tehran, prompting widespread arrests, surveillance crackdowns, and internal regime distrust. The report is based on intelligence documents that Israel shared with its Western allies, including the United States and the United Kingdom, after they were leaked. Live Events The documents show Iran's goals in their entirety: According to the report, "Iran was aiming to produce up to 1,000 a year with a reported aim of a stock of 8,000 missiles." 'It allowed Israel to target the entire industry that supported the manufacturing of large amounts of missiles because agents in Iran visited every workshop and factory that were later attacked,' according to a source cited in the leak, as per a report by Ynet News. ALSO READ: Canadian outrage erupts after citizen dies in ICE custody - Carney vs Trump tensions boil over What impact did this intel have on Israel's military strategy? The Times claims that, based on the intelligence, the Mossad came to the conclusion that Iran's nuclear components, technological prowess, and expertise "were racing ahead and it was far more extensive than just the main sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan,' as per a report by Ynet News. Israel has used "boots on the ground" to monitor several Iranian facilities in recent years, a senior intelligence official told the paper. According to the information obtained, Israel allegedly started getting ready for possible attacks in Iran as early as 2010. The report connected certain attacks to Israeli intelligence activities, such as the attack on the nuclear facility in Natanz, which was purportedly directed by Israeli spies who had mapped the site, including underground layouts. According to reports, Israeli forces have also breached other sensitive locations in Isfahan, including the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) headquarters. Israel has been monitoring Iran's actions from within for decades, according to Dr. Efrat Sopher, director of the University of Haifa's Ezri Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies. The Mossad's victories against Iran and its proxies will be remembered as a major factor in eliminating the Iranian threat. Is the Iranian regime in panic mode now? Officials are now characterizing the extent of Israel's infiltration into Iranian intelligence networks as the catalyst for a "state of paranoia" within the government. Armed patrols have been sent into the streets, more than 1,000 Iranians have been taken into custody, and the so-called "morality police" have stepped up their enforcement of the country's strict dress regulations for women. The government has even urged people to spy on their neighbors by keeping track of their whereabouts and return times and reporting any unusual noises coming from their apartments, as per a report by Ynet. The extent of the harm to Iran's nuclear program is still up for debate. Iran's capabilities could be restored in "a matter of months," according to some U.S. officials, but Trump maintains that the threat has been "completely eliminated." FAQs How long did Mossad operate inside Iran? For years, possibly since 2010, Israeli agents were on the ground gathering intelligence on nuclear and missile facilities. Did Mossad help direct specific attacks? Yes. Spies helped map key Iranian sites such as Natanz and Isfahan, allowing for more precise strikes.

Operation Sindoor 2.0? Pakistan secretly rebuilding terror infrastructure near..., India can now...
Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif Operation Sindoor 2.0: After India conducted massive attacks on Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in its Operation Sindoor killing more than a hundred terrorists, fresh intelligence reports are suggesting that Pakistan is secretly rebuilding its terror infrastructure using advanced and sophisticated technology. Through its new tactics, Pakistan is rebuilding with the use of encrypted communication tools, satellite phones, and drones to avoid detection. As per reconstruction plan, the new plan accommodates smaller batches of 20–30 terrorists, as opposed to the earlier practice of training 70–80 militants at once. 'ISI has chosen new terror training centres at places like Athmuqam, Sardi, Lipa, Kotli, Kahuta, Jankote and Chamankot in PoK which are surrounded by forests and small mountains and where it is easy to hide the terrorists and keep them for long time,' Deccan Herald quoted sources as saying. 'The training of fresh recruits is being supervised not just by Pakistani handlers, but also by some former terrorists from Kashmir who have now crossed over and are operating from PoJK,' the sources revealed. Special court grants NIA 10-day remand of two Pahalgam terror accused In another important event related to the Pahalgam attack, a special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) granted a 10-day remand of the two accused who were arrested for harbouring Pakistani terrorists behind the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in April, officials said. A local court had earlier granted the NIA a five-day remand of the two accused on Monday, which expired on Friday. The NIA produced the duo before the special NIA court, which granted a further 10-day remand, they said. The two men — Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar of Batkote, Pahalgam; and Bashir Ahmad Jothar of Hill Park, Pahalgam — were arrested by the NIA on Sunday in the first major breakthrough in the investigation into the April 22 attack that left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead and 16 others injured.
