US and Iran in Pakistan.

"India...welcomed the ceasefire arrangement between the US and Iran, expressing the hope that the development would pave the way for lasting peace and stability in West Asia." "Meanwhile, India has issued a fresh advisory for its nationals in Iran, urging them to leave the country in view of potential escalation despite the ceasefire." ET. Across the border, "Pakistan has acted as an intermediary between Iran and the US over the last few weeks, passing messages between the two." "Just before 05.00, Pakistan's Prime Minister announced that a ceasefire had been agreed and invited the two sides to meet in Islamabad on Friday, 10 April." BBC. "The Iranian delegation has arrived in the Pakistani capital Islamabad," and "Vice President Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner are set to meet with the Iranian delegation Saturday (today) morning, local time, for Pakistan-mediated talks on ending the war." The Hill. "Islamabad finds itself at the center of a tense diplomatic gamble," "giving the Pakistani capital a rare moment on the global stage." However, "In the hours after the ceasefire was announced by Pakistan, Iranian officials reportedly credited a last-minute push by China with securing their acceptance, a claim soon after validated by Trump." ET. Pakistan is not important, China is. Trump has credited "Field Marshall Asim Munir's counsel for helping avert a wider catastrophe." Because Trump has a "grandiose narcissistic personality" and "Munir delivers obsequiousness, deference and strategic utility, all packaged in a decisive military approach." "Trump has consistently sought to claim credit for preventing a nuclear war between India and Pakistan," and Munir openly thanked Trump for the ceasefire and saving 10 million people, wrote Prof Vinay Kaura. Uncontrolled rage. Because this is contrary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claim in the Lok Sabha that during Operation Sindoor (pib.gov.in), someone in Pakistan phoned and begged, "Stop now, you beat US badly, we cannot take any more.  (NDTV)." Pakistan a friend of the US while Mr Modi is ignored, is intolerable to Bhakts who live in an altered reality (DH). "It's hard to believe now, but US President Donald Trump was once the BJP's (Mr Modi's party) pin-up boy." "It was embarrassing to watch TV anchors declare that the whole world trembled because Trump held a door open for Modi, or that other nations quaked before the power of this supposedly awesome duo." But now, "In India, the same social media fantasists who once sang his (Trump's) praises have now turned viciously against him," wrote Vir Sanghvi. The 'Goldilocks economy' has been upended (Reuters), 11 million graduates constitute 67% of unemployed youth aged 20-29 (DH) and foreign investors have lost interest in  India and pulled out Rs 1.77 trillion in 2026 (NDTV). As PM, Mr Modi is responsible for India's dire situation. Poor Bhakts have been reduced to praising our greatest enemy China (India Today) and abusing Trump. Not easy when facts intrude on their delusion. How to worship Dear Leader. When he is failing.
