In this special analysis, Ahsan Raza examines the possibility of Iran joining a broader regional security framework, the growing Saudi-Iran rapprochement, the Yemen and Houthi factor, and Pakistan’s potential role as a bridge between two powerful regional rivals.
Could a Saudi-Houthi ceasefire open the door for Iran? And would a Pakistan-Saudi Arabia-Turkey-Iran security framework fundamentally reshape the balance of power in the Middle East?

- Pakistan is rich in mineral resources, including copper, gold, coal and rare earth minerals. Yet despite decades of expertise, policy-making and investment, the country has struggled to turn these resources into sustained economic growth.
In this episode, Ahsan Raza speaks with Dr Farid A. Malik about Pakistan’s mining sector, the country’s rare earth mineral potential, the colonial legacy, the role of expatriate experts, and why promising projects such as Saindak did not produce the wider industrial expertise Pakistan needed.
The discussion also looks at the Thar coal project, the proposed national centre for Rare Earth Minerals, the importance of pilot plants, local expertise, technology transfer and value addition.
The central question is simple: Does Pakistan lack resources—or does it lack the system needed to turn its resources into prosperity?

Official figures presented in Pakistan’s National Assembly showed that 21,951 Pakistanis were deported from Gulf countries between March 1 and July 13, 2026.

Dr Malik argues that Pakistan should target 90% localisation by value, strengthen domestic auto-parts manufacturing, enforce deletion targets strictly, and end policies that allow assemblers to continue benefiting from a protected market without sufficient localisation.
The discussion also examines the Adam Revo experience, Millat Tractors’ high localisation, Pakistan’s consumer protection system, and what needs to change if the country wants to move from assembly to genuine automobile ...

Saudi Arabia accounted for the largest number, followed by the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. The reasons included absconding, visa and immigration violations, overstaying, illegal entry, forged documents, begging, drugs, security-related cases and other offences.
The UAE issue has gained further attention after Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that visa difficulties for Pakistani nationals were also linked to support for a country considered hostile to the UAE during the war.

- The historic defence pact signed in Mecca between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan is being seen as a declaration of a new regional balance of power. Signed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the agreement establishes a mutual-defence framework under which an armed attack on any one member is treated as an attack on all three. Saudi and Turkish officials have stressed this is not a military bloc, a sectarian alliance, or tied to nuclear ambitions, and that it does not conflict with Turkey's NATO commitments.
But amid the celebration, the UAE's response has been notably cautious rather than celebratory. Presidential advisor Abdulkhaleq Abdulla questioned the pact's priorities and asked who exactly this alliance's "common enemy" is meant to be.

- The Pakistan-Turkey-Saudi trilateral defence pact builds on the September 2025 Saudi-Pakistan Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, signed after Israel's strike on Qatar, under which an attack on one country is treated as an attack on both. Turkey later sought to join that same agreement, and by January reports suggested talks were in their advanced stages. Pakistan built credibility through its mediation role in the US-Iran war, while Turkey did so through its Gaza diplomacy, laying the groundwork for this alliance. According to Turkish journalist Mehmet Çelik, Turkey envisions Egypt possibly joining this platform in the future, though this remains a conceptual idea with no formal talks reported. Note: there is no reporting on potential membership for Iran, Malaysia, or Indonesia.

- What makes a nation endure—power or principles?
In this thought-provoking discussion, Ahsan Raza sits down with Dr. Farid A. Malik to explore one of the most important questions in politics, history, and nation-building.
Drawing on examples from Pakistan's history, including the legacy of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, and Hazrat Data Ganj Bakhsh (RA), Dr. Malik explains why principles outlive political power and why nations prosper only when justice, integrity, and the rule of law take precedence over personal authority.

- Should election results be announced phase by phase, or only after voting is complete across all constituencies?
In this insightful discussion, Ahsan Raza and Dr. Sohail Badar examine the implications of phased elections in Azad Kashmir. They argue that announcing results before all phases of voting are completed could influence voter behavior and the political atmosphere in the remaining constituencies.
The discussion also compares Pakistan's electoral approach with India's system, where elections are often conducted in multiple phases but the results are announced on a single day after all voting has concluded. Can Pakistan adopt a similar model to strengthen electoral fairness and public confidence?
Watch this thought-provoking conversation on electoral reforms, democratic processes, and lessons Pakistan can draw from international practices.

- Description
- Years ago, a social media rumour claimed Lahore hotels were mixing donkey meat into karahi. No lab report, no court case ever backed it up — but it still earned Lahore the mocking nickname "khota karahi" from Karachi. Now, a very different donkey meat story has landed, and this time it's real: Pakistan has begun formally exporting donkey meat to China. In this solo episode, we break down the first 27-tonne shipment from Gwadar, the government approval process, the farms supplying the trade, why processing is locked inside Gwadar's high-security free zone, and the breeding and logistics challenges that could threaten the model's future.
