TH E ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump was apparently a way of getting out of what had so far been an air campaign that seemed to have no end because Iran seemed unable in the words of Emperor Hirohito when announcing Japan s surrender at the end of World War II to bear the unbearable and endure the unendurable The only previous example of a successful air war was the Kosovo War of 1999, when NATO, led by the USAF bombed Serbia ‘into the Stone Age’ (in the phrase used memorably on Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf after 9/11) to make it give independence to Albanian-majority Kosovo It proved long expensive, and taxing for both planes and pilots
Trump found that the USA was heading in that direction World War II could conceivably have gone in that direction, if the Japanese had somehow absorbed the nuclear bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the USA had been forced to do what it wanted to avoid a costly grind up the Japanese islands with conventional forces Iran s response to the bombing was evidence that it intended to go for the long haul It had no ability to strike at the US mainland, so it lobbed missiles at the US air base in Qatar Trump said there had not even been any injury let alone loss of life a claim not contradicted by the Iranians Still this raises the prospect of US facilities in the region both civil and military being subjected to attack It would not have been the attacks that mattered, so much as the need to take antiaircraft measures That would have acted as a delaying factor in almost any activity that was contemplated
The ceasefire has generally been welcomed by the world mainly because of the fear that the Strait of Hormuz could be blocked by Iran So much of the world s daily crude oil consumption 18 percent passes through it, that any blockage would cause a worldwide shortage within days Again, any defensive measures would also act as retardants
However the whole episode has left the USA to deal with the consequences of the rebelliousness of its regional proxy Israel The conflict was related to the Israeli invasion of Gaza which was initially supported by the USA, and is still supported by its establishment, but started causing concern, especially among students, when it degenerated into the killing of civilians There are increasing doubts in Israel itself with a recent demonstration in support of the hostages Hamas still holds prisoner One problem is that Israeli and US claims notwithstanding there is no guarantee that Iran cannot resume its nuclear enrichment programme That enrichment was at the root of the problem Israeli claims that Iran is months away from a nuclear weapon which Netanyahu has made for two decades now are still there because now the focus is some supposed 20 kg of enriched uranium which
should provide a certain number of bombs Israel is apparently preserving this as an excuse for some future attack Israel should not be as opposed to Iran as it is, because it was the Achaemenid Cyrus the Great who ended the Babylonian captivity of the Jews after he conquered the Neo-Babylonian Empire which had originally conquered the Kingdom of Judah and sent its people into captivity Though archeologists have shown that the exile was by no means complete, it remains a seminal event in Jewish history The problem thus seems to be reduced to the fact that the

6 PRECEDENTS AND LEGAL DEBATES I N U S J U R I S P R U D E N C E Historically the US legal system has grappled with the question of holding presidents accountable for actions taken while in office The resignation of President Richard Nixon amid the Watergate scandal in 1974 triggered debates on whether a sitting or former president could face criminal charges Although Nixon received a full pardon from his successor Gerald Ford the legal principle that presidential immunity does not extend beyond office was firmly underscored More recently, legal scholars and human
rights organizations have raised the possibility of prosecuting former President George W Bush for the 2003 Iraq invasion, which was carried out without explicit UN Security Council authorization Although no formal charges were filed, several symbolic legal actions and public tribunals such as the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal in 2011 declared Bush and key administration officials guilty of crimes against peace These precedents demonstrate that both domestic and international legal mechanisms have at least entertained, if not fully pursued, accountability for high-level executive actions that violate international law Such historical reflections reinforce the notion that legal and moral accountability for heads of state is not theoretical; it is possible even if politically difficult
Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, Iran retains the lawful right to defend itself against armed aggression Yet the US-dominated global media often portrays Iranian responses as unjustified escalation reflecting a stark asymmetry in the public narrative
8 REFORM STEPS TO REINVIGORATE

ities instill fear and demonstrate the extensive reach and determination of Israel s military and intelligence agencies
S the most extraordinary aspect of Bunyanum Marsoos was the unprecedented national solidarity it inspired Parties united, civil society, media outlets, and youth groups mobilized in defense of the homeland From mosques to schools from major cities to remote towns the entire country echoed with patriotic fervour This was more than symbolic unity thousands of civilians volunteered for national service, while the business sector provided material and financial support to the defence effort From Karachi to Khyber Gwadar to Gilgit the people of Pakistan stood as one Religious leaders advocated for peace while firmly upholding the nation s right to self-defence The media projected a unified national message, countering disinformation, uplifting public morale, and highlighting the bravery of Pakistan’s defenders This collective unity elevated Operation Bunyanum Marsoos beyond a military operation turning it into a moment of national awakening A key hallmark was Pakistan s effective integration of modern military technology and strategic innovation The use of stealth drones for real-time surveillance, precision-guided munitions for targeted strikes and electronic warfare systems to disrupt enemy communications reflected a new level of operational sophistication Domestic defence production played a critical role with institutions like the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and Heavy Industries Taxila equipping the armed forces with indigenously manufactured assets The JF-17 Thunder proved its combat capabilities demonstrating air superiority and mission adaptability
Simultaneously a new wave of digital activism surged within Pakistan Young citizens, journalists, and online influencers took to social media platforms to counter misinformation, debunk disinformation campaigns and provide evidence-based updates
This digital resistance played a pivotal role in shaping international opinion and portraying Pakistan as a responsible and peace-
seeking nation acting under provocation One of the most commendable aspects was the adherence to international law and the principles of ethical warfare While responding with strength Pakistan consistently emphasized that its actions were defensive not offensive Counterstrikes were executed with precision to avoid civilian harm and multiple overtures were made to de-escalate, on the condition that India ceased its hostilities By maintaining this moral high ground, Pakistan garnered significant diplomatic support Regional neighbours and global powers alike acknowledged Pakistan s restraint and called on India to reduce tensions Pakistan s clear and consistent messaging positioned it as a mature and stable regional actor Operation Bunyanum Marsoos not only repelled aggression but recalibrated the strategic dynamics of South Asia It compelled Indian policymakers to reassess their aggressive posturing
Domestically the Operation had a farreaching impact It bolstered public confidence in national institutions, enhanced coordination across defense and civilian agencies and delivered critical insights for future military planning Perhaps most importantly it revitalized Pakistan s social cohesion At a time of internal political divisions Bunyanum Marsoos became a unifying force reawakening a sense of national pride, strengthening civil-military trust, and reaffirming the enduring values of unity, discipline, and sacrifice
Recent developments such as the Israeli attacks on Iran have further underscored the fragility of regional stability
These events serve as a stark reminder of the volatile security environment in which nations like Pakistan must operate, and the critical importance of preparedness, diplomacy, and national unity
These events have not only intensified hostilities between Tel Aviv and Tehran but also revived concerns among other regional powers including Pakistan about the security of strategic assets, the reliability of defence systems, and the critical role of national unity in deterring external threats For Pakistan, the recent Israeli-Iranian confrontation offers clear lessons: a unified national front combined with strong defence capabilities is essential
The precision strikes carried out by Israel against Iran reportedly involving advanced drones, missile technology, and air assaults signal a new phase of warfare
The deaths of senior Iranian military officials and key nuclear scientists represent more than just personnel losses; they constitute a strategic attempt to degrade Iran s defence and scientific infrastructure These attacks aimed to weaken long-term capabil-
India and Israel share a strategic alliance, and it is known that India deployed Israeli drones in its operations against Pakistan Reports suggest India closely observed the Israeli strikes For Pakistan with its own cadre of military leadership nuclear scientists and strategic planners this incident serves as a stark warning about the dangers posed by technologically advanced adversaries It underscores the critical need not only to modernize conventional military equipment but also to safeguard key personnel data networks and vital infrastructure against both physical attacks and cyber threats
Pakistan s defence establishment has long understood the complexities of regional security, especially given its challenging relationships with neighbours India, Afghanistan, and Iran Pakistan has demonstrated strong defence capabilities in past conflicts with India In response to shifting regional dynamics and India s growing military assertiveness Pakistan must accelerate investments in indigenous defence technologies, improve intelligencesharing among its armed forces, and deepen cooperation with trusted allies in fields like air defense cyber warfare artificial intelligence and strategic deterrence Pakistan must ensure its own critical assets are protected by multilayered defense systems and robust contingency plans
While military strength forms one pillar of national security, national unity constitutes the other The Israeli strikes on Iran did not only target military capabilities; they also aimed to erode public trust exploit political divisions and incite internal discord Such tactics typify psychological and hybrid warfare, where societal fragmentation is weaponized and national unity becomes the ultimate target
Given Pakistan’s diverse ethnic, linguistic and sectarian makeup national cohesion must be approached not as mere rhetoric but as a strategic imperative History shows that during periods of external challenge such as the wars with India in 1965 and 1971, the Kargil conflict, Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, or the fight against terrorism Pakistanis have consistently demonstrated resilience and unity under pressure
One particularly troubling aspect of the Israeli attacks on Iran is the deliberate targeting of scientists and strategic thinkers Iran s nuclear scientists have previously been assassinated through both physical and cyber means, underscoring the evolving nature of modern conflict For Pakistan a nation with a longstanding and carefully safeguarded nuclear programme these tactics serve as a stark reminder It is imperative to implement comprehensive security measures to protect scientists, engineers, and mil-
itary researchers Furthermore cybersecurity must be integral to defence strategies Today s conflicts extend into cyber realms through data breaches, espionage, and digital sabotage Pakistan must also prioritize nurturing the next generation of strategic experts to ensure ongoing innovation and resilience Protecting intellectual talent is just as critical as securing missiles
The Israeli-Iranian conflict carries significant diplomatic consequences for Pakistan As a Muslim-majority, nuclear-armed state with longstanding religious, cultural, and historical connections to Iran, while simultaneously balancing ties with Gulf countries China and the West Pakistan must approach these developments with strategic nuance Avoiding direct involvement in regional conflicts, Pakistan should seize the opportunity to deepen defence collaborations with friendly nations especially in areas like drone technology cyber defense and space surveillance As the Israeli strikes demonstrate adversaries do not wait for formal declarations of war Modern battlefields span land air cyberspace, and even the minds of citizens Pakistan must confront these challenges not with fear but with renewed dedication to defence readiness technological advancement and internal unity This moment calls for strengthening the nation from within
The recent Israeli attacks on Iran are more than just news stories; they are lessons etched in precision, power, and sacrifice For Pakistan, they serve as a wake-up call to bolster defences not just through weaponry but with unity vigilance and foresight In today’s world victory belongs not to the nation with the largest army but to the one with the strongest sense of purpose and preparedness
According to several reports, Israel employed “kamikaze drones” and “unmanned aerial systems” (UAS) as part of its modern SEAD/DEAD (Suppression/Destruction of Enemy Air Defences) strategy to cripple Iranian air defenses during recent conflicts A similar tactic was attempted by India
about the Modi regime s economic failures and diplomatic missteps, the most insidious damage lies elsewhere – in the corrosion of India’s socio-cultural fabric This damage is evident in the erosion of the country’s pluralistic ethos and the hardening of its deepest societal fault lines A comparative glance at key social indicators from the pre-2014 era to the present reveals a sharp regression into communal majoritarianism, anti-intellectualism and institutionalised discrimination The socio-cultural tapestry – painstakingly woven over three centuries of colonial modernity the egalitarian impulses of the freedom struggle and the republican values enshrined in the Constitution – has been torn apart What remains is a nation draped in the anachronistic garb of medievalism Unlike the damage in other sectors which may be reversible with time and will the rupture in the socio-cultural domain presents a far more formidable challenge in today s fast-paced interconnected world ASSESSING THE DAMAGE: One of the starkest transformations has been in the realm of communal harmony During the UPA-era (2011–2014), India witnessed around 600 communal incidents per year as per Ministry of Home Affairs data Under Modi that number surged to over 1 000 per year between 2017 and 2022 according to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Even more chilling has been the rise of cow-related lynchings – from rare and scattered incidents earlier, to over 300 cases between 2014 and 2024 Hate speech cases have exploded fivefold emboldened by weak police response and tacit political encouragement Cases such as the Bulandshahr lynching of a police officer in 2018 or the Palghar mob killings in 2020 highlight how vigilante justice has replaced rule of law in many regions This surge in communal aggression is matched by the shrinking of the democratic space for dissent and expression India s global press freedom ranking fell from 140 in 2014 to 161 out of 180 countries in 2024 according to Reporters Without Borders Sedition cases, once rarely invoked (25 cases/year pre-2014) have gone up by 160%, to over 70 cases annually Universities have become ideological battlegrounds with Mughal and peoples’ histories purged from curricula and dissenting students at institutions like Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) or Jamia Milia Islamia charged under anti-terror laws The transformation from occasional censorship of dissenting research
(e g economists critical of GDP data revisions facing backlash) to systematic erasure of liberal academia is unmistakable The status of minorities, especially Muslims, reveals further institutional exclusion Muslim representation in the Lok Sabha declined from 30 MPs in 2009 to just 24 in 2024 and for the first time since Independence Modi s cabinet includes no Muslim ministers Anti-conversion laws, once limited to a few BJP-ruled states, have now spread to 12 states, further criminalising interfaith relationships and religious change The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the push for a National Register of Citizens (NRC) signal a concerted effort to redraw the contours of Indian citizenship around Hindu identity The Hijab bans in Karnataka and the Gyanvapi mosque dispute underscore a deepening siege on Muslim civil liberties Caste and gender justice, who had seen incremental progress in earlier decades have also taken a hit Atrocities against Dalits rose from 39 000 cases in 2013 to over 50 900 in 2022 per the NCRB While the UPA avoided breaching the Supreme Court-mandated 50% reservation cap, the Modi government instituted a 10% quota for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) among upper castes – effectively diluting affirmative action and possibly paving the way for abolition of caste-based reservations Iconic incidents like the institutional murder of Rohith Vemula and the flogging of Dalits in Una (2016) marked a return of caste pride couched in euphemisms like Samajik Samrasta (social harmony), replacing the rhetoric of social justice Tribal rights too have faced a rollback Forest land diversions rose from 1 5 lakh hectares (2009-14) to 3 5 lakh hectares post2014 with corporate projects like POSCO and Vedanta prioritised over local consent Displacement of Adivasis spiked to 4 2 million over the past decade The dilution of the Forest Conservation Rules in 2022 bypassed the requirement for tribal consent under the Forest Rights Act leading to what many activists term a second dispossession The move to vacate mineral-rich forests of Adivasis by unleashing genocide in the name of eliminating naxalism has been an associated feature of the regime Even welfare schemes, once seen as neutral instruments of inclusion have become vehicles for majoritarian signalling While earlier governments maintained a universal approach to schemes like MNREGA and the public distribution system (PDS), recent years have seen exclusions – Muslim farmers being denied PM-KISAN benefits in several BJP-ruled states, for instance Despite initial success, the Ujjwala scheme faltered with 25% of beneficiaries reverting to firewood due to high refill costs Welfare distribution has been openly communalised as seen in vaccine campaigns tied to temples and slogans like 80 versus 20 in Uttar Pradesh, implicitly pitting Hindus against Muslims Culturally, the nation has undergone a profound homogenisation The BJP’s aggressive push for Hindi as a national language led to fierce protests in the Northeast and Tamil Nadu Folk cultures and regional traditions have been overshadowed by state-promoted Hindu festivals, while artists like M F Husain have been posthumously targeted and filmmakers like Pa Ranjith boycotted for their ideological stance
The shift from celebrating diversity to imposing cultural uniformity is emblematic of the regime s One Nation, One Culture policy drive Alongside this cultural narrowing has come a rise in pseudoscience and anti-intellectualism Scientific funding dropped from 0 8% of GDP in 2013 to 0 6% in 2023 while governmentsponsored platforms saw bizarre claims
such as plastic surgery existing in Vedic times
gain official endorsement The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 promotes Sanskrit and Indian Knowledge Systems” at the cost of critical thinking The push for “Bharatiya Science” exemplifies the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s long-held disdain for evidence-based rationality Perhaps most disturbingly the Modi-era has witnessed the criminalisation of humanitarian compassion Over 20,000 NGO licenses were revoked under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), including for Amnesty International and CARE India Christian missionaries have faced increased arrests as seen in prayer raids in Assam or attacks on nuns in Jhabua Humanitarian work – especially in minority or tribal areas – is now frequently branded anti-national
The public discourse has normalised previously taboo expressions of hatred What were once isolated hate speech cases – such as Varun Gandhi s inflammatory 2009 campaign speech – have now become routine Public figures like Yati Narsinghanand and BJP leaders like Anurag Thakur have openly called for violence against Muslims, without facing legal consequences Rather, such hate mongers have been immediately awarded by the regime “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas” has devolved into dogwhistles like Goli maaro saalon ko chanted by BJP supporters during the 2020 Delhi election rallies This normalisation of hate has led to urban segregation and ghettoisation Discrimination in housing against Muslims, once confined to certain cities like Mumbai has become systemic across India where entire housing societies have barred Muslim tenants
The bulldozer has become a political symbol, routinely deployed in BJP states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh to demolish Muslim-owned homes after communal unrest, often without due process The infamous “Corona Jihad” narrative of 2020 which blamed Muslims for spreading COVID-19 further entrenched social apartheid Taken together these trends indicate not merely a breakdown but a rewriting of India s social contract Where the pre-2014 era was marked by contested but intact constitutional values – such as secularism, social justice and pluralism – the past 11 years have seen a wholesale shift toward majoritarian dominance Indicators point to a social order that is more exclusionary more intolerant and more unequal
The above assessment is just indicative of the damage inflicted by the Modi-regime to India’s social and cultural fabric While economic or diplomatic blunders may be reversible with sound policy shifts and renewed international engagement the social and cultural damage is far more intractable

comments highlight the growing tensions between Iran and the US with both countries having engaged in multiple direct confrontations
The Iranian leader s remarks came shortly after Israel s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a “historic victory” after the ceasefire came into effect, claiming Israel had achieved its goal of neutralizing Iran s nuclear and ballistic missile threat
Following the ceasefire Iran has also partially reopened its eastern airspace, allowing domestic and international flights to resume, although flights from Tehran’s major airports remain suspended
The decision to reopen the airspace came after 12 days of intense fighting which began on June 13 when Israel launched unprovoked airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites
The full impact of the ceasefire, however, remains uncertain as both Iran and Israel continue to make conflicting claims about the outcome of the war
