Reviving Dead Threats: Yalda Hakim cited the 313 Brigade — a terror group dismantled in 2011 — as active in 2025, ignoring CIA and NATO confirmations of its dissolution.

Both Pakistan and India have launched coordinated global diplomacy campaigns following their limited war, seeking to frame the conflict to their advantage.

India is portraying its strikes as part of a global counter-terrorism strategy, though its narrative has faced skepticism due to lack of transparency. The international response remains cautiously neutral, with key powers urging de-escalation while treating both nations as equal stakeholders in South Asian peace. In a war fought not just with missiles and fighter jets but with…

India falsely claimed Pakistan launched nuclear-armed Shaheen missiles during recent border tensions. Pakistan denied the allegation and demanded an international investigation into India’s disinformation campaign.
